### nm_device_connection_valid ()

    gboolean
    nm_device_connection_valid (NMDevice *device,

Validates a given connection for a given NMDevice object and returns whether the connection may be activated with the device. For example if `device` is a Wi-Fi device that supports only WEP encryption, the connection will only be valid if it is a Wi-Fi connection which describes a WEP or open network, and will not be valid if it describes a WPA network, or if it is an Ethernet, Bluetooth, WWAN, etc connection that is incompatible with the device.

#### Parameters

device | an NMDevice to validate `connection` against |
connection | an NMConnection to validate against `device` |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the connection may be activated with this device, `FALSE` if is incompatible with the device's capabilities and characteristics.

                                     GError **error);

Validates a given connection for a given NMDevice object and returns whether the connection may be activated with the device. For example if `device` is a Wi-Fi device that supports only WEP encryption, the connection will only be valid if it is a Wi-Fi connection which describes a WEP or open network, and will not be valid if it describes a WPA network, or if it is an Ethernet, Bluetooth, WWAN, etc connection that is incompatible with the device.

This function does the same as `nm_device_connection_valid()`, i.e. checking compatibility of the given device and connection. But, in addition, it sets GError when FALSE is returned.

#### Parameters

device | an NMDevice to validate `connection` against |
connection | an NMConnection to validate against `device` |
error | return location for a GError, or `NULL` |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the connection may be activated with this device, `FALSE` if is incompatible with the device's capabilities and characteristics.

### nm_device_get_setting_type ()

#### Returns

`device` 's associated NMSetting type

Since: 0.9.10

### NMDeviceDeactivateFn ()

    void
    (*NMDeviceDeactivateFn) (NMDevice *device,
                             GError *error,
                             gpointer user_data);

`NMDeviceDeactivateFn` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
