I only did limited testing on this and I assume there are still some
bits missing. My intention here was actually to create a network for an
AP that is hidden.
I might have to get the semantics in the API specification a little bit
more correct. Totally forgot the Ad-Hoc case. So currently I am thinking
about adding WiFi.Mode property since we do wanna indicate Ad-Hoc
networks differently.
And maybe renaming CreateNetwork to JoinNetwork might be a good idea.
Let me think about it.

If you don't connect via ConnMan, then we are still not tracking the
state for self-made connections. There is limited code to deal with the
default gateway, but the IP tracking is still incomplete. The RTNL stuff
is really complicated.
Also the State only indicates the ConnMan managed networks. If you use
for example -i wlan0, then whatever you do on eth0 doesn't matter.
