A new value for NM80211Mode is introduced (NM_802_11_MODE_AP) and the
new mode is passed to wpa_supplicant analogous to adhoc-mode.
The places which need to know the interface mode have been extended to
handle the new mode.
If the configuration does not contain a fixed frequency, a channel is
selected the same way as with adhoc-mode before.
The ctype macros (eg, isalnum(), tolower()) are locale-dependent. Use
glib's ASCII-only versions instead.
Also, replace isascii() with g_ascii_isprint(), since isascii()
accepts control characters, which isn't what the code wanted in any of
the places where it was using it.
These days more and more devices are showing up that support a
number of different access technology families in the same hardware,
like Qualcomm Gobi (CDMA and GSM), Pantech UM190 (CDMA and GSM),
Pantech UML290 (CDMA and LTE), LG VL600 (CDMA and LTE), Sierra
320U (GSM and LTE), etc. The previous scheme of having device
classes based on access technology family simply cannot handle
this hardware and attempting to add LTE to both the CDMA and GSM
device classes would result in a bunch of code duplication that
we don't want. There's a better way...
Instead, combine both CDMA and GSM device classes into a generic
"Modem" device class that provides capabilities indicating what
access technology families a modem supports, and what families
it supports immediately without a firmware reload. (Gobi devices
for example require a firmware reload before they can switch
between GSM and CDMA). This provides the necessary flexibility
to the client and allows us to keep the API stable when the
same consolidation change is made in ModemManager.
The current code doesn't yet allow multi-mode operation internally,
but the API is now what we want it to be and won't need to be
changed.
Clients need to do their own logging using glib or whatever; these
macros while somewhat helpful were not flexible and are not a
substitute for actual logging in the client. g_warning, g_message,
and g_error are more suitable anyway.
DISCONNECTING: the only active network connection is now being disconnected
LOCAL, SITE, GLOBAL: one-stop items for level of connectivity, which
we'll use to show when we think we're actually connected to the internet
or behind a captive portal or something
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
Remove the org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings bus name and
have everybody talk to org.freedesktop.NetworkManager. Now that we have
a single settings service that's embedded in the main daemon, we don't
need separate names anymore.
0.7 requires dbus 1.1 or greater (for system bus activation), so make that
explicit, and remove compat code for D-Bus 0.6 and earlier. Consolidate
the various glib pkgconfig checks into one, since most anything will require
gthread, glib, and gobject anyway. Fixup the docs makefile to be more
automake-compatible and let 'make clean' actually work correctly when
docs are built.
