Filters a given list of connections for a given NMAccessPoint object and return connections which may be activated with the access point. Any returned connections will match the `ap`'s SSID and (if given) BSSID and other attributes like security settings, channel, etc.

To obtain the list of connections that are compatible with this access point, use `nm_remote_settings_list_connections()` and then filter the returned list for a given NMDevice using `nm_device_filter_connections()` and finally filter that list with this function.

Returns : | a list of NMConnection objects that could be activated with the given `ap`. The elements of the list are owned by their creator and should not be freed by the caller, but the returned list itself is owned by the caller and should be freed with `g_slist_free()` when it is no longer required.

Validates a given connection against a given WiFi access point to ensure that the connection may be activated with that AP. The connection must match the `ap`'s SSID, (if given) BSSID, and other attributes like security settings, channel, band, etc.

`ap` : | an NMAccessPoint to validate `connection` against
`connection` : | an NMConnection to validate against `ap`
Returns : | `TRUE` if the connection may be activated with this WiFi AP, `FALSE` if it cannot be.

`nm_access_point_get_hw_address` has been deprecated since version 0.9 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use `nm_access_point_get_bssid()` instead.

Gets the hardware (MAC) address of the access point.

`ap` : | a NMAccessPoint
Returns : | the hardware address of the access point. This is the internal string used by the access point and must not be modified.
