dhcpcd v5.99 and later automatically enabled IPv6 behavior unless
specifically disabled. This is undesirable for two reason:
1) dhcpcd sends IPv4 Router Solicitations, which NetworkManager
handles itself, so there's no need to do it twice. NetworkManager
knows better than dhcpcd whether IPv6 is supposed to be used for
that interface or not.
2) Some devices don't react well to IPv6 when they aren't expecting
it. For example, older Qualcomm Gobi-based devices will listen
for Router Solicitations and attempt to set up IPv6, but if other
settings are not done correctly, or the firmware doesn't actually
support it, the firmware will then crash. So simply upgrading your
dhcpcd from 5.x to 6.x magically stops WWAN working for these
devices.
Without this patch, the following fails with a rather obscure message
about missing make target.
./autogen.sh && make && make distcheck
...
*** No rule to make target `NetworkManager.8', needed by `distdir'. Stop.
Swap the order of the subdirectories 'docs' and 'man' to build
'docs' earlier. This way, `make distcheck` fails in the directory 'docs'
with a better error message:
*** gtk-doc must be installed and enabled in order to make dist
Also, add 'man/nmcli-examples.5' to the list of files, to determine
whether to use the pre generated doc files.

NMBluezManager is now a proxy and only delegates to either
NMBluez4Manager or NMBluez5Manager. It detects the running BlueZ
version at runtime, and once it decides for one version, it cannot be
changed anymore as long NetworkManager is running.
This means, when switching from BlueZ4 to BlueZ5 or vice versa you have
to restart NetworkManager. This should be acceptable, because it is
not a common use case (most systems won't have both versions installed
anyway) and it greatly simplifies implementation.
Also note that NMBluez4Manager and NMBluez5Manager do not implement a
common interface. NMBluezManager delegates to the correct manager.
Having them share an common interface or base class would not simplify
the code, because NMBluezManager not only delegates, but it also acts as
a proxy until it is decided which BlueZ version is running. So, this
proxy-like behaviour would still be needed. The alternative would be to
merge the functionality of all three NMBluez*Manager classes into one.
This also removes the --enable-bluez4 configure switch, because both
versions are now always enabled.

Earlier versions of automake complain if they get a configuration
parameter which they don't understand. The error is:
configure.ac:19: option `serial-tests' not recognized
Use some m4 hackery to work around this.

The nm-rdisc subsystem, just as the nm-platform subsystem is separately
testable and it proved convenient to be able to build the test programs
by just typing 'make' in the rdisc/platform directory where the source
code for those modules resides.
src/rdisc doesn't need a makefile just to point to the tests,
we can do that more easily from src/Makefile.am like we do for
all the other tests subdirs.
Abstract class, fake implementation and a manual testing tool for
NetworkManager's internal IPv6 router discovery module. When a real
implementation is ready, it will replace nm-ip6-manager and will be used
by nm-device.
There is no longer a 'ModemCapabilities' uint32 property; instead we have
'SupportedCapabilities' giving a list of uint32 values. Just read the list and
merge the values into a single mask; NM doesn't care about the exact
combinations supported.

systemd's new network-online target abstracts the "wait until
networking is up" stuff, and NM-wait-online implements that
functionality. Thus NM-wait-online should be ordered before
(and thus be a dependency of) network-online.
dist tarballs shouldn't ever be released without the documentation,
and this allows us to build the tarballs with pre-generated docs
that get installed on the end system, but don't need to be built
there. So the end system doesn't need gtk-doc installed, only
the dist system does.

Although having different parts of NM in different subdirectories
keeps the source tree neat, it has made the build messy, particularly
because of cross-dependencies between the subdirs.
Reorganize to build all of the pieces of the NetworkManager binary
from src/Makefile, and only use recursive make for test programs,
helper binaries, and plugins.
As part of this, get rid of all the per-directory convenience
libraries, and switch to building a single top-level
libNetworkManager.la, containing everything except main.c, which all
of the test programs can then link against.
When --with-modem-manager-1=yes not explicitly specified (i.e. 'auto' mode), and
libmm-glib is not found, we should not report:
Features:
...
modemmanager-1: auto
Instead, better report:
Features:
...
modemmanager-1: no
If the Intel WiMAX stack is built with libnl1, but NM is built with a
newer libnl, then symbol conflicts between libnl versions will occur
when the WiMAX plugin is loaded into NM, and NM will crash.
Distros should be building their WiMAX stack with libnl3, using the
following git repos, rather than the long-defunct Intel git repos:
git://people.freedesktop.org/~dcbw/wimax
git://people.freedesktop.org/~dcbw/wimax-tools
These repos contain fixes to allow the WiMAX stack to build against
libnl3.

Some distributions (Debian and Ubuntu in particular) will soon use systemd's
logind, but not its init part. Check for a recent enough "libsystemd-login"
version instead of "systemd", as suspend/resume and inhibitors are all in
logind.

DocBook is not my favorite thing in the world, but it's
<lots-of-emphasis>far</lots-of-emphasis> saner than troff. Some style
parts cribbed from systemd.
This is preparatory work for actually improving the content of the
man pages.
Create the new nm-platform framework and implement link (or interface)
management. The nm-platform serves as the point of contact between
the rest of NetworkManager and the operating system.
There are two backends for nm-platform:
* NMFakePlatform: Fake kernel backend for testing purposes
* NMLinuxPlatform: Linux kernel backend for actual use
A comprehensive testsuite is included and will be extended with new
feature additions. To enable the Linux part of the testsuite, use
--enable-tests=root configure options and run 'make check' as root.
Use --enable-code-coverage for code coverage support.
./autogen.sh --enable-tests=root --enable-code-coverage
make
make -C src/platform check-code-coverage
Link features:
* Retrieve the list of links
* Translate between indexes and names
* Discover device type
* Add/remove dummy interfaces (for testing)
Thanks to Thomas Graf for helping with libnl3 synchronization issues.
For cases where NM may run without a bus daemon in root-only
environments, like an initramfs. For disconnection, since private
connection just get a disconnect message instead of NameOwnerChanged
signals broadcast by a bus daemon, just synthesize the NameOwnerChanged
signals using our fake owner name. It's just easier to do this rather
than modify any code that cares about disconnects.
Note that the new private socket is only enabled if built with
dbus-glib >= 0.100 as there are bugs in previous versions in the
implementation of dbus_g_proxy_new_for_peer() which clients must
use to talk to the private socket.
