The example though is really cool. Now this device obviously is detached
from your Linux system, although there's no law that says it cannot be
running an embedded Linux...
One assumes that announcing its availability is the responsibility of
the Network Device. This means that dbus is behaving like
message-oriented middleware, broadcasting on a subject that one-to-many
listeners have subscribed to? I wasn't completely sure that dbus did that.
