           NetworkManager is based on a concept of connection profiles, sometimes referred to as
           connections only. These connection profiles contain a network configuration. When
           NetworkManager activates a connection profile on a network device the configuration will

Each element is a shell wildcard pattern. An element can be prefixed with a pipe symbol (|) or an ampersand (&amp;). The former means that the element is optional and the latter means that it is mandatory. If there are any optional elements, than the match evaluates to true if at least one of the optional element matches (logical OR). If there are any mandatory elements, then they all must match (logical AND). By default, an element is optional. This means that an element "foo" behaves the same as "|foo". An element can also be inverted with exclamation mark (!) between the pipe symbol (or the ampersand) and before the pattern. Note that "!foo" is a shortcut for the mandatory match "&amp;!foo". Finally, a backslash can be used at the beginning of the element (after the optional special characters) to escape the start of the pattern. For example, "&amp;\!a" is an mandatory match for literally "!a".</para><para>
