NM never removes the current AP from the AP list, to prevent NM from
indicating that it's connected, but to nothing. But the supplicant
can remove that AP from its list at any time (out of range, turned off,
etc), leading to a priv->current_ap that is no longer known to the
supplicant but still exists in the NM AP list. Since the supplicant
has forgotten it, NM will never receive a removal signal for it.
To ensure that a supplicant-forgotten priv->current_ap is removed
from the NM AP list when priv->current_ap is cleared or changed, mark
any AP removed by the supplicant as 'fake'. It will then always be
removed in set_current_ap() and not linger in the AP list forever like
a zombie.
Instead of tricky logic to merge APs and age them, just tell the
supplicant what our aging parameters are, and rely on it to handle
removal from the list. Notable behavioral changes are:
* APs will now be removed when they haven't been seen for two
consecutive scans in which they would have been included. This
means that when the scan interval is short, out-of-range APs will
be removed much more quickly than the previous 360 seconds.
* APs now live at most 250 seconds (twice our longest scan interval)
instead of the previous 360 seconds.
* The problem with wpa_supplicant < 2.3 not notifying that a BSS has
been seen in the scan if none of its properties actually changed is
now avoided, because an AP is only removed when the supplicant removes it
In general these changes should make the scan list more responsive, at
the cost of slightly more instability in the list due to the unreliability
of WiFi scanning. But it also removes a layer of complexity and
abstraction from NetworkManager, pushing the scan results list closer
to that which the hardware reports.
The VPN connection requests secrets a few times; first it retrieves
only system-owned secrets to see if they are sufficient (and thus
doesn't need to bother the user), then it retrieves existing agent
owned secrets (so the user doesn't get a popup), then finally if
those aren't sufficient it asks the user interactively.
But if there was some error retrieving system secrets, or if there
weren't any system secrets at all, don't fail the VPN connection.
Just go on and ask the user for the secrets.
Now on SIGHUP, when reloading NetworkManager configuration, also reload
the ignore-carrier flag.
While a device is activated, the reload is ignored until the device
deactivates.
Maybe it would be simpler just not to cache ignore_carrer and let it
take effect immediately. But not caching ignore_carrer has the
additional downside that every call to is_available must check the
specs -- which in sum is potentially expensive for something that
almost never changes.

make distcheck runs a build in dist directory subtirs and then runs intltool -m
which in turn complains about translations in a built file:
The following files contain translations and are currently not in use. Please
consider adding these to the POTFILES.in file, located in the po/ directory.
sub/policy/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.policy.in
The issue is reported to intltool upstream already:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/intltool/+bug/1117944
The link test was disabled in commit 67ad3fcb5b.
The previous issues are not fixed, but apparently disabling the test doesn't
help to get it fixed.
Re-enable it and if it fails we have a better reason to fix it.
Or maybe it works now (?). Didn't fail for me...
Throwing away the udev_device instance is wrong. There are two cases:
- the udev-device appears, and the netlink object will never appear
(or is already gone). In this case, keeping the udev-device is ok
because we will eventually get a signal from UDev to cleanup the
device instance.
- the udev-device appears before the netlink object. In this case we
want to keep the udev instance to have it ready.

dns-manager must include <gio/gio.h> itself. Otherwise
compilation only works with WITH_LIBSOUP, which includes
<gio/gio.h> via <libsoup/soup.h>.
This is an old error, but unnoticed until ad6dbc504b
which makes use of gio.h also without NETCONFIG_PATH.
Add a new 'rc-manager' configuration parameter that allows to select
the strategy used to write resolv.conf; currently supported values
are: none|resolvconf|netconfig, 'none' meaning that NM directly writes
the file.
The default value of the parameter is 'none'; however if a
RESOLVCONF_PATH (or NETCONFIG_PATH) is specified at build time, the
default value will be 'resolvconf' (or 'netconfig').
glib interprets the options either as "-m arg" or "-m=arg". Fix parsing
to check for both cases.
Also, g_test_init() removes the parsed options from argv, hence we must
check our original copy in __nmtst_internal.orig_argv.
Now the following all have the same outcome:
$ NMTST_DEBUG=no-debug,quick ./src/rdisc/tests/test-rdisc-fake
$ ./src/rdisc/tests/test-rdisc-fake -m quick
$ ./src/rdisc/tests/test-rdisc-fake -m=quick

A solicitation loop could result for two cases:
1) a router sent DNS information, then removed that information without
sending it with lifetime=0
2) two routers exist, one sending DNS information and the other not, and
the first router which sends DNS information disappears
In these cases a solicitation would be generated when the DNS information
reached 1/2 its lifetime. A router would then reply to the solicitation
without DNS information, which would then trigger another lifetime check,
which finds that the DNS info is still 1/2 lifetime. Which triggers
another solicitation, etc.
Fix this by ensuring that a solicitation is never sent less than
rtr_solicitation_interval seconds after the last one.
If a route or gateway's priority increased, the item would be added
to the array again without removing the older entry. At the same time
don't bother adding an item with a zero lifetime, since it will just
be removed again by the clean_* functions.
Instead of having it all in the Linux implementation, move all the
timeout logic and most of the processing logic into the NMRDisc
base class so that it can be used by NMFakeRDisc as well. This
will help increase testability since now we can test the timeout
and expiry logic from the fake plugin too.
Utility function for long-running tests to check whether
they should run. It has the same use as g_test_quick(),
but it can also be set via NMTST_DEBUG environment variable.
You can set the compile time default via
CFLAGS='-DNMTST_TEST_QUICK=FALSE' ./configure
and overwrite it at runtime via
NMTST_DEBUG=no-default,quick ./tests/test-my
