$ nmcli dev wifi connect 00:22:6B:EB:1D:CA hidden yes
Warning: '00:22:6B:EB:1D:CA' should be SSID for hidden APs; but it looks like a BSSID.

The list of LLDP neighbors is available through the D-Bus interface
and libnm already provides functions to retrieve it; make the list
available through nmcli as well. Sample output:

It is useful to show nmcli-generated hotspot password (if a user does not
provide his own password). Without the option the user would have to look into
the generated profile in order to find out the password.
'ssid' can repeat when more SSIDs should be scanned, e.g.
$ nmcli dev wifi rescan ssid "hidden cafe" ssid AP12 ssid "my home Wi-Fi"

The localization headers are now included via "nm-default.h".
Also fixes several places, where we wrongly included <glib/gi18n-lib.h>
instead of <glib/gi18n.h>. For example under "clients/" directory.
Rather than randomly including one or more of <glib.h>,
<glib-object.h>, and <gio/gio.h> everywhere (and forgetting to include
"nm-glib-compat.h" most of the time), rename nm-glib-compat.h to
nm-glib.h, include <gio/gio.h> from there, and then change all .c
files in NM to include "nm-glib.h" rather than including the glib
headers directly.
(Public headers files still have to include the real glib headers,
since nm-glib.h isn't installed...)
Also, remove glib includes from header files that are already
including a base object header file (which must itself already include
the glib headers).
Even Fedora is no longer shipping the WiMAX SDK, so it's likely we'll
eventually accidentally break some of the code in src/devices/wimax/
(if we haven't already). Discussion on the list showed a consensus for
dropping support for WiMAX.
So, remove the SDK checks from configure.ac, remove the WiMAX device
plugin and associated manager support, and deprecate all the APIs.
For compatibility reasons, it is still possible to create and save
WiMAX connections, to toggle the software WiMAX rfkill state, and to
change the "WIMAX" log level, although none of these have any effect,
since no NMDeviceWimax will ever be created.
nmcli was only compiling in support for most WiMAX operations when NM
as a whole was built with WiMAX support, so that code has been removed
now as well. (It is still possible to use nmcli to create and edit
WiMAX connections, but those connections will never be activatable.)
Add new capabilities CAP_FREQ_2GHZ and CAP_FREQ_5GHZ to indicate the
frequency bands supported by a Wifi device.
Add also CAP_FREQ_VALID, which is set when the values of the other 2
capabilities are available.

set_connection_path() is almost always called right before enable(),
and it's unclear why it would be called anywhere else. So just
merge the two methods.
nm_secret_agent_simple_*() functions should take an
NMSecretAgentSimple, not an NMSecretAgent.
The type macros were incorrectly validating against
NM_TYPE_SECRET_AGENT rather than NM_TYPE_SECRET_AGENT_SIMPLE.
The signals might be delivered in no particular order and we need to wait for
the device to reach stable state (whether it's successfully conntected or not)
as well as the active connection to leave ACTIVATING state.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740320
The device status alone is uninteresting as its changes can be due to
deactivation of previously active connection. We should monitor the
active connection changes instead of device state changes.
However the device state changes is still interesting, as it contains the
reason for the change, let's just ignore them while the connection is
activating.
Lastly, we need to handle failures as well. It should be noted that it's
not sufficient to deal with NM_DEVICE_STATE_FAILED as the device will
quickly draverse to NM_DEVICE_STATE_DISCONNECTED. This happens in case of
a failure due to NM_DEVICE_STATE_REASON_NO_SECRETS as soon as the server
makes sure it won't reconnect automatically.
When wifi secrets are missing, NM_DEVICE_STATE_FAILED due to
NM_DEVICE_STATE_REASON_NO_SECRETS is immediately followed by traversal to
NM_DEVICE_STATE_DISCONNECTED as soon as the server makes sure it won't
reconnect automatically. We sometimes aren't quick to handle the first signal
and only get the latter one.
Let's treat all states that aren't ordinarily reached upon activation as bad.
$ nmcli dev disconnect nm-bond
Error: Timeout 10 sec expired.
When a software device is disconnected, it will be removed. And it may not go
to NM_DEVICE_STATE_DISCONNECTED state before that. So we need to listen to
"device-removed" signal.

Create NMIPConfig as the parent of NMIP4Config and NMIP6Config, and
remove the two subclasses from the public API; while it's convenient
to still have both internally, they are now identical to the outside
world.
Synopsis:
nmcli agent { secret | polkit | all }
The command runs separate NetworkManager secret agent or session polkit agent, or both.
It is useful when
- no other secret agent is available (such as GUI nm-applet, gnome-shell, KDE applet)
- no other polkit agent is available (such as polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1,
polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 or lxpolkit)

Move the definition of NMManagerError to nm-errors, register it with
D-Bus, and verify in the tests that it maps correctly.
NM_MANAGER_ERROR_INTERNAL gets renamed to NM_MANAGER_ERROR_FAILED for
consistency. NM_MANAGER_ERROR_UNMANAGED_DEVICE is dropped since that
name doesn't really describe the one place it was previously used in.
NM_MANAGER_ERROR_SYSTEM_CONNECTION is dropped because it was't being
used. NM_MANAGER_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_CONNECTION_TYPE is dropped because
it can be replaced with an NM_CONNECTION_ERROR.
NM_MANAGER_ERROR_AUTOCONNECT_NOT_ALLOWED is turned into the more
generic NM_MANAGER_ERROR_CONNECTION_NOT_AVAILABLE.
Also, remove the <tp:possible-errors> sections from nm-manager.xml,
since they were completely out of date.
Add nm_utils_wifi_strength_bars(), which figures out whether the
terminal can display graphical wifi strength bars, and converts a
numerical value to the appropriate Unicode or ASCII characters.
This also now takes into consideration the fact that the console font
doesn't contain all of the necessary characters, so we can't display
the graphical bars there. (rh #1131491)
Use g_print() and g_printerr(), which wrap printf() and
fprintf(stderr,...), but handle conversion from UTF-8 if the locale is
using a different character set.
