    device-handler
    string
| Name of the device handler that will be invoked to add and delete the device for this connection. The name can only contain ASCII alphanumeric characters and '-', '_', '.'. It cannot start with '.'. See the NetworkManager-dispatcher(8) man page for more details about how to write the device handler. By setting this property the generic connection becomes "virtual", meaning that it can be activated without an existing device; the device will be created at the time the connection is started by invoking the device-handler.
