'security' property is redundant, because the security restrictions are easily
recognized by the presence of '802-11-wireless-security' in a Wi-Fi connection.
The setting has to be present anyway, but we also had to set and check whether
the value in 'security' matches the security setting.
Following the KISS principle, it is best not to use the 'security' property
altogether.
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 NM was registering all of its enum types by hand, it was using
NamesLikeThis rather than the default names-like-this for the "nick"
values. When we switched to using glib-mkenums, this resulted in
dbus-glib using different strings for the D-Bus error names, causing
compatibility problems.
Fix this by using glib-mkenums annotations to manually fix all the
enum values back to what they were before. (This can't be done in a
more automated way, because the old names aren't 100% consistent. Eg,
"UNKNOWN" frequently becomes "UnknownError" rather than just
"Unknown".)
Rather than generating enum classes by hand (and complaining in each
file that "this should really be standard"), use glib-mkenums.
Unfortunately, we need a very new version of glib-mkenums in order to
deal with NM's naming conventions and to fix a few other bugs, so just
import that into the source tree temporarily.
Also, to simplify the use of glib-mkenums, import Makefile.glib from
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/654395.
To avoid having to run glib-mkenums for every subdirectory of src/,
add a new "generated" directory, and put the generated enums files
there.
Finally, use Makefile.glib for marshallers too, and generate separate
ones for libnm-glib and NetworkManager.
"mac-address-blacklist" property is added to the ethernet and WiFi connections.
It is the MAC addresses list of devices on which the connection won't be
activated.
Original patch (NM_0_8 branch) from Thomas Bechtold <thomasbechtold@jpberlin.de>
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.
Add a GError argument to nm_connection_verify() and nm_setting_verify(),
and add error enums to each NMSetting subclass. Each NMSetting subclass now
returns a descriptive GError when verification fails.

- (set_property, get_property, nm_setting_wireless_class_init): add the
'adhoc-create' property, which when TRUE indicates that NM should
create this connection as an adhoc wifi network if it's not found
as an adhoc network during scanning. Can be used to auto-create
adhoc networks when used in combination with autoconnect.

Rework NMSetting structures: Move each setting to it's own file.
Convert to GObject. Remove home grown setting types and use
GTypes.
Use GObject property introspection for hash conversion,
enumerating
properties, etc.

* src/*: The API of NMSetting and NMConnection changed a bit:
* Getting
a setting from connection takes the setting type now. Also,
since
the settings are in multiple files, include relevant settings.
