 /**
  * \brief The basis of all plugins
  *
  * This is the way to extend networksettings with
  * extra functionality.
  *
  *
  * Networksettings in the 1.0 release does not use QCOM
  * for activation. You need to provide the following function yourself.
  *
  * A module needs to provide Name, Images, and methods for
  * claiming interfaces. For example you can claim physicla
  * interfaces like wlan0, ppp0 or virtual like a VPN
  * connection and hide the real ppp device or ethernet device
  * behind your VPN plugin.
  *
  * During start up. The main application searches for network devices
  * and then looks for an owner under the plugins for them.
  * For example the WLAN Plugin looks if there is a WLAN Extension
  * on that interface and then claims it by returning true from isOwner()
  *
  * \code
  * extern "C"
  *  {
  *   void* create_plugin() {
  *   return new WLANModule();
  * }
  * };
  * \endcode
  * @see isOwner(Interface*)
