Yes, they should all go into 0.5.x too.  They are pretty much bug fixes,
or omissions in the DBus API that I noticed while hooking up the
NetworkManager bits to wpa_supplicant.  They don't break backwards
compatibility for the DBus API with any previous versions.

If you want to be _really_ strict, you can drop the "add interface
'state'" patch from 0.5.x, but without it you can't get the interface's
initial state (though a signal is sent when the state changes).  Again,
this does not break anything, but adds the additional method call.

Thanks!
Dan
