Allows NM to signal to an agent that an in-progress secrets
request is no longer needed. This could happen if the device
for which the request was started was removed, disabled, or the
network being connected to changed, or whatever.
Given connection details, complete the connection as well as possible
using the given specific object and device, add it to system
settings, and activate it all in one method.
Heavily modify Inaky's Intel WiMAX SDK glue (originally from connman)
to be more generic and more thread-safe, and suitable for use with
NetworkManager instead of rolling our own client code. Rewrite the
NMDeviceWimax code to mostly work.
Still to be done: actual connection logic, DHCP handling, spawning
wimaxd if it's not started yet
New connections should not be pushed out in the Updated signal
because signals cannot be restricted to particular clients, and
some clients may not have permission to view the connection.
Upon receiving the Updated signal, clients should re-read the
connection using GetSettings to ensure that the client still
has permissions to view the connection, and to get the updated
settings.
Moves the system settings permissions checking into the core service's
permissions checking, which at the same time enables 3-way permission
reporting (yes, no, auth) instead of the old yes/no that we had for
system settings permissions before. This allows UI to show a lock
icon or such when the user could authenticate to gain the permission.
It also moves the wifi-create permissions' namespace to the main
namespace (not .settings) since they really should be checked before
starting a shared wifi connection, rather than having anything to do
with the settings service.
Just for consistency, make settings related stuff live under the
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager namespace, rather than its own
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings namespace. Renames are done for
DBus interface names, DBus object paths, and polkit actions.
In continuation of the theme, the removal of user settings services
means that the distinction between NMSysconfigConnection and
NMExportedConnection is no longer needed. Merge NMExportedConnection
into NMSysconfigConnection.
Much as with nm-remote-settings and nm-remote-settings-system, the
removal of user settings services means there is no more need for
separate interfaces for user and system settings services.
In libnm-glib, this commit merges everything in
nm-settings-system-interface into nm-settings-interface. Alongside with
that, we merge everything in the
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.System DBus interface into
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.
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.
Default to 'not allowed', distros that need backwards compatibility
can flip this to 'yes' if they need to. At this point, only power
management scripts should call these functions.
Track missing firmware and ensure the device can't be used when firmware
is missing. Add a property for missing firmware so that clients can do
something intelligent with this information.
Since forever we've used sleep/wake as the way to implement
Networking Enabled. When the state file was introduced to make the
networking and wifi states persistent, we ran into a bug where
a failed suspend (like if the machine ran out of power while
suspended) would result in networking being disabled on reboot
since suspend/resume used the same knob as enable/disable.
This patch adds a distinct call for enable/disable networking
which changes the state file, while sleep/wake no longer change
the state file.
We can change the property's D-Bus signature (and thus API) here
because querying the IP6Config object's properties caused NM to
crash. Apparently we forgot to change the type of the Address
property when we C&P-ed the IP4Config into the IP6Config, and
DBUS_TYPE_G_ARRAY_OF_ARRAY_OF_UINT is certainly the wrong type
to use since the backing object that dbus-glib would marshal
into the ARRAY_OF_ARRAY_OF_UINT wasn't that type, causing a
crash in dbus-glib when a client got the IP6Config.
