* Kill dhcpcd. We now use "dhcdbd", a dbus daemon that controls dhclient.
This means that NetworkManager shouldn't have DHCP issues anymore. It also
means you need dhcdbd, which you can get here (get the latest one):
http://people.redhat.com/jvdias/dhcdbd/
Technically NetworkManager can use any DHCP daemon that uses the same DBUS
interface as dhcdbd.
* Rewrite device activation to facilitate the new DHCP infrastructure and
future improvements. Its now "activation request" based, ie there is a single
activation request composed of the device, access point, and other info which
follows the entire activation process. There are 5 stages of the activation
process which correspond to:
1) Device preparation
2) Device configuration (bring it up, set ESSID/Key/etc)
3) IP Config Start (fire off DHCP if we're using it)
4) IP Config Get (grab config from DHCP or static config files)
5) IP Config Commit (set device's IP address, DNS, etc)
Note that there is no longer a "scanning" step, since the access point must
be known _before_ activation starts. If the access point drops out or does
not exist for some reason, the entire activation process fails and must be
restarted for a different access point or device.
Patch from Bill Moss:

Patch from Dan Reed: DHCP options D-BUS API
Exposes the DHCP options that a device receives to clients over D-BUS.
* configure.in
- A few cleanups
* dhcpcd/client.h
- Correct names, option length, and types for DHCP options
* dhcpcd/dhcpcd.[ch]
- Clarify function names that access DHCP options & data
* src/NetworkManagerDHCP.c
- Use new DHCP data access functions
* src/NetworkManagerDbus.c
- Message handler for DHCP functions
* src/nm-dbus-dhcp.[ch] (new)
- DHCP dbus methods
* test/nm-dhcp-opt-test.c
- Test DHCP D-BUS API and return all present DHCP options
git-svn-id: http://svn-archive.gnome.org/svn/NetworkManager/trunk@444 4912f4e0-d625-0410-9fb7-b9a5a253dbdc
* dhcpcd/client.c
- (dhcp_init): only print out client ID and class ID if they are specified
* src/NetworkManagerDbus.[ch]
src/nm-dbus-nm.[ch]
src/nm-dbus-device.[ch]
src/nm-dbus-net.[ch]
- Move NM, Device, and Net functions to separate files and use the
dbus method list stuff in NetworkManagerDbusUtils.c to do
method dispatching
* src/NetworkManagerDbusUtils.c
- Add new validate_method called before each dispatch (if present)
that can validate the method call
* src/NetworkManagerWireless.c
- (nm_wireless_qual_to_percent): Fix misplaced "!" that caused signal
levels never to be evaluated
Patch from j@bootlab.org
* src/NetworkManagerDevice.c
- Add typedef for "u64"
* src/backends/NetworkManagerDebian.c
- Copy in Dave Woodhouse's fixes for IPv6
git-svn-id: http://svn-archive.gnome.org/svn/NetworkManager/trunk@438 4912f4e0-d625-0410-9fb7-b9a5a253dbdc
* panel-applet/NMWirelessApplet.[ch]
- Add a context menu that contains:
Pause/Resume Wireless Scanning
Stop/Start All Wireless Devices
About...
- Grab active device strength off active device,
not its network
* panel-applet/NMWirelessAppletDbus.[ch]
- Add DBUS accessors for "getSupportsCarrierDetect", "setScanningEnabled",
"getScanningEnabled", "setWirelessEnabled", and "getWirelessEnabled"
- Update active device strength every 2 seconds, not every 1 second
* panel-applet/menu-info.c
- Only disable wired devices in the menu when they support carrier detection,
and don't currently have a link. Non-carrier-detect devices will always
remain choosable
* src/Makefile.am
src/NetworkManagerDbusUtils.[ch]
- Add new new dbus utils sources
* src/NetworkManager.c
- Fixes for new link detection, we no longer need to call nm_device_update_link_active()
with the boolean parameter
- Set scanning_enabled & wireless_enabled to TRUE
* src/NetworkManagerDbus.c
- Use new dbus util method dispatcher functions for org.freedesktop.NetworkManager methods
- Implement scanning & wireless enable/disable calls
- Remove the dbus vtable unregister handlers, weren't doing anything with them anyway
* src/NetworkManagerDevice.c
- New link detection stuff again...
o Create device's mainloop earlier (but don't run it earlier)
o Hook up new carrier-detect support stuff
o Add in the ethtool & mii support detection code
- Don't scan if scanning is disabled
* src/NetworkManagerPolicy.c
- Never automatically choose a device that doesn't support carrier detection
- Don't automatically choose a wireless device if wireless is disabled
