There was never a property for it anyway, so it never got serialized
across D-Bus, because it was folded into the "password" property in
wpa_supplicant between 0.5 and 0.6.
'enable' command queries and sets NetworkingEnabled property. It should be used
by users. Previous 'sleep' command that actually did enable/disable,
really calls Sleep() now and is not meant for common usage.
NMSettingsConnectionInterface was created to allow the daemon and NM
clients to have common code that handled both system and user
connections. It's no longer needed now that user settings services are
gone.
This concludes the flattening of libnm-glib.
NMSettingsInterface was created to allow code to operate on a settings
service without caring about what kind of settings service it was. Now
that we have just one settings service, this is no longer needed.
More work needs to be done in order to handle errors and permission
settings in an appropriate manner.
Originally, nm-remote-settings was used by the daemon to monitor the
user settings service, and its subclass nm-remote-settings-system was
used by NM clients to monitor the system settings service. With user
settings services gone, this distinction is no longer needed. Simplify
things a bit and merge the classes.
Remove all support for user settings services from nmcli. Update its
manpage to reflect this.
Manpage edits also anticipate changes to be made in regards to how
secrets are managed.
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.
Option '--multiline' was replaced with '--mode tabular|multiline'.
It was neccessary to be able to switch to tabular output mode for
'dev list' and 'con list id|uuid' commands as they now print out
in multiline mode by default. All other commands are in tabular
mode by default.
nmcli uses its own code to dump connections' details instead of
libnm-util's nm_connection_dump(). It allows to structure output
and present values of the settings according to nmcli needs.
If SSID is a UTF-8 string, it is printed as it is, but enclosed in quotes.
Otherwise the bytes are converted to hex string (in uppercase).
The added quotes for UTF-8 string allow to disambiguate the two forms.
Modifications are mainly for multiline mode to ease parsing - each
field name is prefixed with a section name.
'dev list' now also supports printing particular sections specifed via
'--fields' option.
The output is basically tabular with fields (columns) presenting specific pieces of info.
Each line represents a single object. It's possible to switch to multiline output using
'--multiline' option. In that mode single object is presented on more lines - each field
on its line.
Terse mode now uses ':' as field separator. It also escapes all occurences of ':' and '\'
inside field values to ease parsing. The escaping behaviour can be controlled through
'--escape' option. By default, escaping is switched on in tabular mode. When using terse
mode ('--terse'), '--fields' option is mandatory for specifying required fields. That helps
for flexibility and backwards compatibility.
Not all output is converted yet.
