This breaks API and ABI for the functions related to Reapply,
which got introduced in the current 1.1 development phase.
The version-id is here to allow users to error out if the connection
on the device was changed by a concurrent action.

This property is TRUE for devices that exist either as a kernel device
or are backed by some other resource (eg, ModemManager object, Bluez
device, etc). It will eventually be FALSE for software devices that
are not yet instantiated.
This adds a LldpNeighbors property to the Device D-Bus interface
carrying information about devices discovered through LLDP. The
property is an array of hashes and each hash describes the values of
LLDP TLVs for a specific neighbor.
For existing devices, depending on the order that netlink sends interfaces to
us, the parent may be found after the VLAN interface and not be available when
the VLAN interface is constructed. Instead of failing construction, when a
NMDeviceVlan has no parent keep it unavailable for activation. Then have
the Manager notify existing devices when a new device is found, and let
NMDeviceVlan find the parent later and become available via that mechanism.
This doesn't apply to VLANs created by NM itself, because the kernel requires
a parent ifindex when creating a VLAN device. Thus this fix only applies to
VLANs created outside NetworkManager, or existing when NM starts up.
Previously the only thing preventing default-unmanaged devices from
being auto-activated was luck and the fact that they didn't have any
available connections when in the UNMANAGED state. That's no longer
true, so we must be more explicit about their behavior.
Furthermore it makes no sense to allow default-unmanaged devices
to set priv->autoconnect=TRUE since that is never supposed to
happen, so enforce that both in NM itself and if the change
request comes in over the D-Bus interface.
Lastly, internal priv->autoconnect=TRUE changes never emitted a
property change notification, meaning the NMPolicy would never
schedule an autoconnect check if the device's priv->autoconnect
was set to TRUE as a result of re-activating or waking from sleep.
If the given PIN was wrong, we really don't want to try that PIN
again automatically because it might lock the SIM. To ensure that
doesn't happen, disable autoconnect so that the user must manually
request reconnection.
(this doesn't fix auto-connect-with-a-wrong-PIN completely, as
autoconnect is reset when resuming from sleep, but it's a start)
Determining when the NMDeviceModem is available and when different
connections are available is easier if the modem's state is tracked,
instead of using the separate Enabled and Connected properties.
These properties could not accurately represent the SIM lock state
and prevented NetworkManager from making the modem available for
auto-activation when locked, even if a PIN was available.
In this new scheme, the NMDeviceModem is UNAVAILABLE when the
ModemManager modem state is FAILED, UNKNOWN, or INITIALIZING. It
transitions to the NM DISCONNECTED state when the modem has finished
initializing and has not failed.
Once the NMDeviceModem is in DISCONNECTED state it can be activated
even if the SIM is locked and a PIN is required; the PIN will be
requested when starting activation, either from the connection itself
or via a secrets request. This makes auto-activation of WWAN
connections possible.
This also allows us to consolidate code dealing with modem enable/disable
into the base NMModem class using the modem state, and to log more modem
information for debugging purposes.
Use the new kernel physical_port_id interface property to recognize
when two devices are just virtual devices sharing the same physical
port, and refuse to bond/team multiple slaves on the same port.
When the supplicant starts connecting, or gets disconnected, track
whether it ever starts talking to an AP. Then if the connection fails
as a result of an initial connection timeout or a link timeout, we
can use SSID_NOT_FOUND when we're reasonably sure the AP doesn't
exist. Clients can use this to show better error messages.
Note that SSID_NOT_FOUND may only be reported when using nl80211
drivers, as WEXT drivers don't provide the status necessary to
determine whether the network exists or not.
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.
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.
"InfiniBand" has a capital "B". Fix that everywhere it's being used as
a human-readable string.
In particular, the RH initscripts recognize "TYPE=infiniband" and
"TYPE=InfiniBand", but not "TYPE=Infiniband", which is what we were
writing before.
Many different interface types can support VLANs, including
Infiniband, WiFi, etc. So we have to create a new device class
for them instead of keeping the support in NMDeviceEthernet.
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.
Enables easier traversal of the object hierarchy; if a client is
watching signals on a device they can easily get back to the
parent NMActiveConnection object to grab connection details or
status.
Will be used for things like activating a VPN connection before
signaling that the device is activated, or maybe for bridges and
bonds, to ensure that applications don't think the system has
connectivity before everything is set up.
