Basically I want to avoid the code done in NetworkManager, simply
because it doesn't work for anything but the one that create the port.
So what Im proposing is that udev take care of setting the
capabilities to the port, not the applet manually doing it, but to
make it possible there must be something indicating that it is a port
to dun profile channel (or spp if that matters). The other suggestion
is that this port should be somehow stored so it is recreated after
boot, but as Stefan cleverly point out this would be a bit difficult
since some device insist in changing the channel/hide the service each
time the profile got in use, so perhaps it is not a good idea in the
end.

What Im still missing is how I attach the information to the port so
that udev properly recognized and nobody has to do workarounds, store
the return of Serial.Connect("dun") and then wait it to be announced
by udev, than I can do it directly on bluetoothd and has to duplicate
this code on front-ends.
