Allow devices to declare themselves unmanaged-by-default, but tweak
nm-manager and nm-policy to allow activating matching connections on
those devices anyway.
(This ensures that NM keeps its hands completely off the device unless
the user explicitly asks it to do something with it.)
Now that NMDevice reads the hwaddr directly from netlink, it's silly
to have every device subtype maintain its own hw-address property
(using data that it gets from the NMDevice base class).
Remove all the device-specific hw-address properties, and add one to
NMDevice instead. (Because of the way nm-properties-changed-signal
works, this has no effect on the D-Bus API.) Subclasses now call
nm_device_get_hw_address() in places where they used to just refer to
priv->hw_addr (and to simplify this, we now allow passing NULL for the
out length parameter, since the subclasses almost always know what the
length will be already).
Also reorganize/simplify a few other methods to take advantage of the
fact that NMDevice is now keeping track of the hw-address directly.

Add an ignore-carrier option to NetworkManager.conf, for specifying
devices where carrier state should be ignored for purposes of
activating/deactivating connections.
As with the other connection-matching methods, move the loop and the
device-independent bits into NMDevice. By reusing
nm_device_check_connection_compatible(), this means that most device
types now no longer need any type-specific code for this.

nm_device_connection_match_config() sounded more generic than it
really was; rename it to nm_device_find_assumable_connection(), which
is what it really does.
There was also a lot of redundancy/cut+paste in the subclass
implementations of connection_match_config(); Improve things by moving
the looping-over-connections code into NMDevice itself, and also doing
the general-device-compatibility and IP-config checking there, leaving
the device subclasses to just verify L2 properties. Which most of them
aren't doing...

Add a "need_carrier" argument to nm_device_is_available(), to allow
distinguishing between "device is not available", "device is fully
available", and "device is available except for not having carrier".
Adjust various parts of NMDevice and NMManager to allow for the
possibility of activating a connection with :carrier-detect = "no" on
a device with no carrier, and to avoid auto-disconnecting devices with
:carrier-detect = "on-activate".

We don't need to check device state here because the manager, which
is the only thing that calls nm_device_activate() in
internal_activate_device() ensures that the device is deactivated
before starting a new activation request.
VLANs are only supported on certain kinds of devices, so don't try to
create them on other devices. (In fact, NM currently assumes that
VLANs are only created on Ethernet devices, so we need to be even more
picky than that.)
Implements a new property that provides a list of currently
available connections a device could connect to. For example
if a connection for a particular wireless connection exists and
that wireless network appears in the scan list it would show in the
AvailableConnections property of the device.
(dcbw: found a slightly cleaner way to do this; it's a lot like the
check_connection_compatible class method, except it deals with
live network data too. So convert the subclass methods to
just check additional live network data, and have the base
device class handle adding the connection to the hash and all
the associated signalling. Also fix a bug where the available
connections were not updated when a device moved from UNAVAILABLE
to available, its available connections were not updated)
The info is extracted via SIOCETHTOOL ioctl() syscall using ETHTOOL_GDRVINFO.
This works for most drivers but not all, e.g. for modems. We may figure out how
to get the info for specific devices, and enhance the solution by implementing
specific functions for particular device types later.
Allows devices to generically request authorization from the manager
for whatever operation they want, and allows us to keep the devices
from including the auth code directly.
It is bound to autoconnect_inhibit private variable (has opposite meaning).
While 'Autoconnect' is TRUE (default value) the device can automatically
activate a connection. If it is changed to FALSE, the device will not
auto-activate until 'Autoconnect' is TRUE again.
Disconnect() method sets 'Autoconnect' to FALSE. NMPolicy monitors the property
and schedules auto activation when FALSE->TRUE transition is made.
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".)
We already have the master device kept in the active connection, so
we can just use that instead of having the Policy determine and set
it manually. This also should allow slaves to auto-activate their
master connections if the master is able to activate.
We'll want to eventually match (for VLAN) a given hardware address
that's not the device's hardware address. Only the device itself
knows which NMSetting should contain it's hardware address (ie
the 'wired' setting for NMDeviceEthernet, 'infiniband' for
NMDeviceInfiniband, etc) and VLANs take their hardware address
from the parent interface. So eventually we'll have VLAN
interfaces use these new arguments to ask their parent interface
to match the VLAN hardware address in a connection, since the
VLAN doesn't know (or need to know) what kind of interface it
really is underneath.
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.
Allows clients to retrieve the reason a device changed to
the given state along with the state itself, preventing
race conditions if the state were retrieved separately
from the reason. Reason codes were not previously
accessible without listening to the StateChanged signal.
Adds a new "master" property to NMActiveConnection containing the path
of the master NMDevice if the connection has a master.

There are now three places we need delayed state transitions:
1) unavailable to disconnected
2) failed to disconnected
3) bond unavailable to disconnected
(3) wasn't doing a delayed transition, but we can't change
state from inside a state-change handler otherwise we may not
end up fully processing the current state chagne. So it needs a
delayed transition too; add some generic code to make that
easier to do.
Add an accessor for device rfkill type and use that instead of
GObject properties, and also use that accessor when claiming a
new device instead of checking NM_IS_DEVICE_xxxx(). Allows us
to move one step closer to making WiMAX a plugin.
Code is written generic enough to allow easy addition of further master/slave
relationships such as bridging relations.

For a slave to be activatetable the master connection must be present.
Activation of the slave is postponed until this condition is met.
Once the slave is being activated, a reference to the master connection
is acquired and held for the lifetime of the bond.
Changes v2:
- Made check_master_dependency() return TRUE/FALSE

Initial IP configuration can happen during ACTIVATED state if both
v4 and v6 are enabled, but one takes longer than the other. Thus
various checks throughout the code for IP_CONFIG were incorrect
since they depended on IP configuration only happening during the
IP_CONFIG state. Fix that by using a separate state for IP config
and using that state for various checks instead of the overall
device state.
It was somewhat pointless since the IP config is always known when
stage4 gets scheduled, so why not just pass the config to stage5
immediately? Also helps consolidate the v4/v6 failure handling
logic and makes the operational flow clearer where both v4 and
v6 are active and proceeding in parallel.
