At the moment, you need to tell NM to reconnect to something, eg 'nmcli con up uuid <uuid>'. Disconnect places the device into manual mode which requires user action to return to automatic mode. I suppose we can add an 'autoconnect' property to each device, which Disconnect() would set to false, but which could be changed via the D-Bus properties interface (authenticated of course) back to TRUE. This property would follow the internal 'autoconnect_inhibit' device member variable and the NMPolicy would listen for changes to this variable and retrigger an auto connection check if it changes back to TRUE. Patches accepted for that.
