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.
This patch adds the settings code (NMSettingAdsl) and the initial
"scaffolding" i.e., a tiny stub version of NMDeviceAdsl and the
udev handler code to get the device detected.
With this patch you should be able to see an atm device being detected
by networkmanager in the logs, although of course it doesn't
do anything useful yet.
Extract from the logs:
[1304668252.341354] [nm-udev-manager.c:562] adsl_add(): adsl_add: ATM Device detected from udev. Adding ..

In this version, we hack the nm-device.c:nm_device_get_priority() to get better priority
instead of changing the DeviceType enum.

To simplify NMManager and to make use of the new connection provider
functionality, move the logic for when a paired Bluetooth device
is actually usable for network connections or not into the bluez
manager and out of NMManager. The general direction should be towards
moving this sort of logic out of the manager and into the device
specific stuff, like we did with the WiMAX bits, so we can make
stuff into plugins.
Kernel ifindexes are always greater than zero (see dev_new_index()
in net/core/dev.c). Also don't bother warning about ifindex
lookup failures for devices we know aren't kernel network interfaces.
"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.
For virtual interfaces and other cases we won't necessarily have
a device path, which means clients will be passing "/" instead.
Fix that up the same way we fix up the specific object.
We can't guarantee the ordering of devices that udev sends to us
on startup. Thus, a VLAN interface could be sent before its
parent is, and we won't be able to find the parent in the device
list. But that's fine; all parents will be detected during the
first pass, and we silently fail the VLAN interface. Then we
do a second pass where any remaining VLAN interfaces will be
created because we found the parents during the first pass.
They are the basic class that tracks active connections, and we're
going to use them for connection dependencies. So use the fact that
both NMVPNConnection and NMActRequest have the same base class
instead of using object paths.
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.
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.
We want to start the connectivity checks when any device gets
activated, and stop them when all devices get deactivated. We
also want to make sure it's running if a device gets deactivated
but other devices are still active. If multiple devices are
activated and if the default device gets deactivated, the other
device may become the default device and we'll need a connectivity
check for that device since we can't do per-device checks yet.
Also, if connectivity checking is enabled at compile-time but
not enabled at runtime, the connectivity bits should always
report "connected" to preserve previous behavior, and this code
makes it clearer how that is handled.
We can just use property notifications instead of having
a separate connected signal. Also clean up some formatting
and make some private variable names shorter.
* use libsoup to compare a http response from a given
uri with a given response (use g_str_has_prefix () to compare)
* do periodically check the connectivity. Check interval is configurable
* check connectivity when device state change
from/to NM_DEVICE_STATE_ACTIVATED
To suppress periodic disk wakeups, only write timestamps to disk
when a device gets activated or deactivated. Timestamps are
still updated periodically in memory, just not flushed to disk
at that time.
Make sure we don't already have an NMDevice for this interface
before creating it, and also when creating the interface, make
a new NMDevice for it immediately to prevent a race between
telling the kernel to create the interface via netlink, and when
udev later tells us about it. In between there we could be
triggered to try creating the interface again.
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.
That was always the goal, but never got there. This time we need it
for real to abstract handling of dependent connections so bite the
bullet and make it happen.
Consolidate device creation in the manager object; bluetooth and
modem devices were already handled by it, so it makes sense to do
it all from one place. Furthermore we'll be creating virtual devices
in the manager too. It also reduces indirection (no need to send
device_creator() in the DEVICE_ADDED signal) and makes the code
flow clearer.
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.
