The first-level hash table key should be the setting name itself,
not the GType name of the setting's GObject. There's probably a
better way to do this to reduce that confusion.
Simplifies code internally, and makes it easier for clients as well in
some cases where they want to control what ends up in the resulting
hash and what does not.
Add the necessary annotations (the mininum required, that is those
on return values. NULL parameters or container types may require
more), and the Autotools stuff to get a NetworkManager GIR for
libnm-util and a NMClient for libnm-glib.
If a pointer to a valid GError was not passed the function could
crash. Make it simpler and fix the possible crash by just converting
to hash table iters instead.
Presently, when automatic connecting fails, the connection is marked
as invalid and is not retried again. This commit adds a configuration
parameter to specify how many times the connection should be re-tried.
Connections are normally created from hashes using g_object_set()
which calls that object's set_property handler. But GObject does
not allow errors to be returned from property handlers, so if the
type doesn't match what it should be, the property does not get
set, and error is printed to stdout, and life goes on.
But that's not what we want for the permissions property since the
client might expect that property to be set, but the connection now
is available to everyone. So validate the permissions property
type (its really the only one we need to be so paranoid about)
and return an error when the incoming property type is wrong.
Groups may come later, but they are also quite a bit more complicated
because getting the groups a user is in may require network access
if that user is backed by LDAP. And it gets worse because you have
no idea that the glibc calls like getgrouplist(3) are backed by
the network and may take an arbitrary amount of time to complete.
Punt that.
config.h defines _GNU_SOURCE, which in turn defines the bits necessary
for kill, isblank, and isascii. So wherever we use those, we need
to make sure config.h is included.
APNs can only contain alphanumeric characters, '.', and '-'. To be
helpful we strip spaces off before setting the APN internally so that
previously (and incorrectly) valid APNs don't cause the whole
connection to fail validation and thus disappear. The only case seen
in the wild was a Pelephone IL APN which erroneously had a trailing
space in the mobile broadband provider database. Bad characters
cause the connection to fail with vague error messages about being
unable to activate the PDP context during PPP negotiation.
Remove code related to "connection scope" and such. Later, we will also
do lots of code flattening and simplification that's possible now that
user settings are gone.
The PPP setting will usually be all defaults anyway, so lets just
created it when needed if it doesn't yet exist. Fixes an error
where the connection editor couldn't edit system DSL connections
because it tried to request secrets for the PPP setting that didn't
actually exist in the connection because the 'keyfile' plugin
wouldn't save all-default settings, thus that setting wouldn't
exist when read back in.
There are so many... so handle them as a table of key/value pairs
instead of having separate functions for each one. At the moment
nothing but subchannels is used internally, but this allows plugins
to preserve options that NM doesn't care about when reading/writing
system configuration.
This commit implements MAC cloning feature in NetworkManager. To support that,
'PermHwAddress' property is added into *.Device.Wired and *.Device.Wireless
interfaces. The permanent MAC address is obtained when creating the device, and
is used for 'locking' connections to the device. If a cloned MAC is specified
in connection to be activated, the MAC is set to the interface in stage1. While
disconecting, the permanent MAC is set back to the interface.
On s390 and z-Series, the hypervisor assigns the MAC address, so we
need to use subchannels to uniquely identify the device instead of
using the MAC address.
