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.)
- Remove list of authors from files that had them; these serve no
purpose except to quickly get out of date (and were only used in
libnm-util and not libnm-glib anyway).
- Just say "Copyright", not "(C) Copyright" or "Copyright (C)"
- Put copyright statement after the license, not before
- Remove "NetworkManager - Network link manager" from the few files
that contained it, and "libnm_glib -- Access network status &
information from glib applications" from the many files that
contained it.
- Remove vim modeline from nm-device-olpc-mesh.[ch], add emacs modeline
to files that were missing it.
Add nm_device_connection_compatible() that returns an error when it fails.
nm_device_connection_valid() does the same work except it doesn't set GError.
Heavily modify Inaky's Intel WiMAX SDK glue (originally from connman)
to be more generic and more thread-safe, and suitable for use with
NetworkManager instead of rolling our own client code. Rewrite the
NMDeviceWimax code to mostly work.
Still to be done: actual connection logic, DHCP handling, spawning
wimaxd if it's not started yet
