The ipw2x00 drivers won't be converted over to the kernel's rfkill
subsystem until 2.6.33, and thus listening for udev rfkill change
events on these devices doesn't work. So until then, poll rfkill
state for ipw2x00 devices every few seconds in addition to listening
to other rfkill sources.
Shouldn't be allowing scan requests when associating or when the
supplicant is otherwise busy doing something else.
Older fullmac cards are much more likely to run into this problem
since they usually take longer to connect; since they take so
long, NM may sometimes request a scan during association or
during DHCP which can cause the card to miss DHCP replies. I've
never seen this happen with mac80211 drivers though.
Since rfkill state is saved but not acted upon during sleep
(since NM shouldn't be touching devices while sleeping) we have to
remember to act on the new state when waking up.
3rd patch in a series with:

With NM 0.8 the system settings service was integrated into NM and
thus nm_connection_clear_secrets() acts directly on the system
settings plugins' NMConnection objects. So when NM cleared secrets
(for example after determining that they might be bad in a device's
stage2 handler), we completely lost the secrets forever.
With this commit, the secrets are now cached and updated whenever
the connection is updated, and thus are again available to send to
NetworkManager when needed.
nm_connection_replace_settings() replaces the connection's settings
but doesn't allow interception of the new settings. Plugins would then
send out the update signal, but secrets are scrubbed out of them to
ensure secrets aren't leaked out into D-Bus signals.
With NM 0.8 the system settings service was integrated into NM and
thus nm_connection_clear_secrets() acts directly on the system
settings plugins' NMConnection objects. So when NM cleared secrets
(for example after determining that they might be bad in a device's
stage2 handler), we completely lost the secrets forever.
Adding this function allows the system settings service to hook into
the connection updates when the plugin connection's backing storage
(like config files or whatever) changes and cache the secrets for
use in NMSettingsConnectionInterface get_secrets() requestes.
Turn DHCP and DNS debugging on with NM_DNSMASQ_DEBUG.
Without --strict-order, dnsmasq will round-robin queries which in
the case of VPN connections may result in the query going to the
non-VPN nameserver. Also, allow dnsmasq to poll resolv.conf for
nameserver updates so that when the default connection changes,
it knows about the new nameservers.
If the supplicant interface became ready but the device was still
UNAVAILABLE, requesting a scan before transitioning to DISCONNECTED
would just fail because can_scan() returns FALSE when the device's
state is not >= DISCONNECTED. Change device state first so that
doesn't happen.
Impact of this bug is likely limited to Ad-Hoc connections that don't
require a scan before activation since by the time the scan has finished,
the NMSupplicantInterface will be set up. However, this shows a bug where
Ad-Hoc connections can be immediately activated even if they don't have
the latest timestamp, because a scan hasn't completed yet and thus we don't
know if there are any usable APs around. Could be fixed by only letting
auto-activations happen after the first successful scan anyway. But whatever...

This happened because the nm_device_wifi_set_enabled() only checked for
the existence of the NMSupplicantInterface, but not whether the supplicant
interface was ready to be used. The supplicant interface would be in the
middle of the getInterface or addInterface call and wouldn't have
initialized priv->iface_proxy yet, which is where that error message was
coming from.
So don't change device state from the wifi_enabled handler, just init
the supplicant interface (it should have been torn down already by
device_state_changed() when the device goes to UNAVAILABLE or UNMANAGED)
and wait for the supplicant interface state change to READY to change
the NMDeviceWifi state to DISCONNECTED in supplicant_iface_state_cb_handler().
Link against libm (using the LT_LIB_M macro and the $LIBM variable) as
we are using pow() and otherwise fail to build with stricter linkers like
binutils-gold.
The device type is set at object construction before the object is
ever exported, thus the first time a client gets the value it will
be correct, and the value should never change. As such, the
property never needs to be part of PropertiesChanged signals.
