check_virtual_device_compatibility
Description:
Determines if a connection of type virtual_type
can (in the general case) work with connections of type other_type
.
If virtual_type
is nm_type_setting_vlan, then this checks if other_type
is a valid
type for the parent of a VLAN.
If virtual_type
is a "master" type (eg, nm_type_setting_bridge), then this checks if
other_type
is a valid type for a slave of that master.
Note that even if this returns true it is not guaranteed that <emphasis>every</emphasis>
connection of type other_type
is compatible with virtual_type
; it may depend on the exact configuration of the two
connections, or on the capabilities of an underlying device driver.
Parameters:
virtual_type |
a virtual connection type |
other_type |
a connection type to test against |
Returns:
true or false |
