NM_STATE_CONNECTED_SITE doesn't distinguish between "behind a captive
portal" and "limited network connectivity" (ie, connected to a router
that has lost its upstream connection). Add a new NMManager
:connectivity property to provide this information.
Also add a CheckConnectivity method, which can be used to force NM to
re-check the connectivity state, which could be called by a client
after it completed a portal login, or fixed a network problem.
This requires a very recent kernel to even compile, and the kernel
code is still rapidly changing (eg, adding IPv6 support). So take it
out for now, until it stabilizes.
This reverts commit 7f0f04d106.
Add NMDeviceGeneric, to provide generic support for unknown device
types, and create NMDeviceGenerics for those devices that NM
previously was ignoring. Allow NMSettingGeneric connections to be
activated on (managed) NMDeviceGenerics.
Some wireless devices don't support Ad-Hoc mode. Expose this fact in
the wireless capabilities so that clients can disable the hot-spot
option if neither CAP_ADHOC nor CAP_AP is available.

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.
When the supplicant starts connecting, or gets disconnected, track
whether it ever starts talking to an AP. Then if the connection fails
as a result of an initial connection timeout or a link timeout, we
can use SSID_NOT_FOUND when we're reasonably sure the AP doesn't
exist. Clients can use this to show better error messages.
Note that SSID_NOT_FOUND may only be reported when using nl80211
drivers, as WEXT drivers don't provide the status necessary to
determine whether the network exists or not.
They aren't in the right place anyway (they need to be after the
'enum' and before the '{') and they aren't consistently used. We'll
add them back later for everything if we need them.
This is the "juice" of the patch series. Initial cut at carrier handling
(by polling /sys/class/atm/$iface/carrier) and also support for calling
pppd with the proper command-line to achieve a connection.
Also implement the necessary boilerplate for the NM state machine to
be happy with our device.
This is a "duct tape and gum" implementation, i.e., prefer copy&paste
over proper refactoring, due to limited time, but the foundations are
now there, so we can make it work right slowly-slowly :)
With this patch, you can already test carrier management but not yet
make a complete connection.
Relevant extract from logs:
<info> (ueagle-atm0): carrier now ON (device state 20)
<info> (ueagle-atm0): device state change: unavailable -> disconnected (reason 'carrier-changed') [20 30 40]

This patch adds the settings code (NMSettingAdsl) and the initial
"scaffolding" i.e., a tiny stub version of NMDeviceAdsl and the
udev handler code to get the device detected.
With this patch you should be able to see an atm device being detected
by networkmanager in the logs, although of course it doesn't
do anything useful yet.
Extract from the logs:
[1304668252.341354] [nm-udev-manager.c:562] adsl_add(): adsl_add: ATM Device detected from udev. Adding ..

In this version, we hack the nm-device.c:nm_device_get_priority() to get better priority
instead of changing the DeviceType enum.

"InfiniBand" has a capital "B". Fix that everywhere it's being used as
a human-readable string.
In particular, the RH initscripts recognize "TYPE=infiniband" and
"TYPE=InfiniBand", but not "TYPE=Infiniband", which is what we were
writing before.
Many different interface types can support VLANs, including
Infiniband, WiFi, etc. So we have to create a new device class
for them instead of keeping the support in NMDeviceEthernet.
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.
Will be used for things like activating a VPN connection before
signaling that the device is activated, or maybe for bridges and
bonds, to ensure that applications don't think the system has
connectivity before everything is set up.
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
We'll use IP_CHECK for detecting whether we're behind a captive
portal or on a network that does not have access to the Internet.
We'll probably run some variety of plugins during this stage to
help detect this, and possibly handle it for us (auto-login to
captive portal for example).
DEACTIVATING will be used for tearing down network shares or
cleanly closing network sessions when we're able to clean up
an activation. ie, "pre-down" for Debian.
