The new device type represents a PPP interface, and will implement the
activation of new-style PPPoE connections, i.e. the ones that don't
claim the parent device.
When the property is set, it specifies the device on which PPPoE is to
be started. The ppp interface will be named as the
connection.interface-name property.
When the property is not set the previous behavior will be retained,
i.e. the PPPoE connection will be started on connection.interface-name
and the PPP interface will have a random name.
Strangely, this breaks
systemctl restart NetworkManager
nmcli connection up "$NAME"
It seems that with this change, libnm misses some events from D-Bus.
It looks like there is something seriously broken. Before fixing it,
revert the previous state.

This reverts commit 529d620a59.
These properties are internal and shall not be publicly accessible.
Remove the getter.
We may later no longer use GDBusObjectManager. It should be an implementation
detail, not exposed in the public API of NMObject.
The current implementation of GDBusObjectManagerClient implements
GAsyncInitableIface, however it simply runs GInitableIface's
synchronous init on another thread.
I suspect that there are races in the way that is implemented.
For one, we see crashes and warnings (rh#1450075, rh#1457769,
rh#1457223). Also, it seems very wrong to me, how GDBusObjectManagerClient
mixes asynchronous signals (on_control_proxy_g_signal) with
synchronously getting all objects (process_get_all_result,
GetManagedObjects).
I think we should ditch GDBusObjectManager altogether, including the
gdbus-codegen skeletons. They add layers of code, for something that
should be simple to do directly. For now, just don't do asynchronous
initialization on another thread, so we at least avoid this kind of
multithreadding issue.
This may make the initialization of NMClient a bit slower.
Branch f9b1bc16e9 added bluetooth NAP
support. A NAP connection is of connection.type "bluetooth", but it
also has a "bridge" setting. Also, it is primarily handled by NMDeviceBridge
and NMBridgeDeviceFactory (with help from NMBluezManager).
However, don't let nm_connection_get_connection_type() and
nm_connnection_is_type() lie about what the connection.type is.
The type is "bluetooth" for most purposes -- at least, as far as
the client is concerned (and the public API of libnm). This restores
previous API behavior, where nm_connection_get_connection_type()
and nm_connection_is_type() would be simple accessors to the
"connection.type" property.
Only a few places care about the bridge aspect, and those places need special
treatment. For example NMDeviceBridge needs to be fully aware that it can
handle bluetooth NAP connection. That is nothing new: if you handle a
connection of any type, you must know which fields matter and what they
mean. It's not enough that nm_connection_get_connection_type() for bluetooth
NAP connectins is claiming to be a bridge.
Counter examples, where the original behavior is right:
src/nm-manager.c- g_set_error (error,
src/nm-manager.c- NM_MANAGER_ERROR,
src/nm-manager.c- NM_MANAGER_ERROR_FAILED,
src/nm-manager.c- "NetworkManager plugin for '%s' unavailable",
src/nm-manager.c: nm_connection_get_connection_type (connection));
the correct message is: "no bluetooth plugin available", not "bridge".
src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c: if ( ( nm_connection_is_type (connection, NM_SETTING_WIRED_SETTING_NAME)
src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c: && !nm_connection_get_setting_pppoe (connection))
src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c: || nm_connection_is_type (connection, NM_SETTING_VLAN_SETTING_NAME)
src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c: || nm_connection_is_type (connection, NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_SETTING_NAME)
src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c: || nm_connection_is_type (connection, NM_SETTING_INFINIBAND_SETTING_NAME)
src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c: || nm_connection_is_type (connection, NM_SETTING_BOND_SETTING_NAME)
src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c: || nm_connection_is_type (connection, NM_SETTING_TEAM_SETTING_NAME)
src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c: || nm_connection_is_type (connection, NM_SETTING_BRIDGE_SETTING_NAME))
src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c- return TRUE;
the correct behavior is for ifcfg-rh plugin to reject bluetooth NAP
connections, not proceed and store it.
We use init_if() as handler for g_list_foreach(). Since we already
cast the function pointer because it doesn't have (GFunc) signature,
we can just as well use the correct types right away.
Previously, internal parts of libnm were not testable.
Instead, add "libnm/nm-libnm-utils.c" and "libnm/libnm-utils.la"
to contain code that can be statically linked with a new
test "libnm/tests/test-general".
No need to create a separate NMUdevClient instance for all devices.
Instead, have one "struct udev" instance in NMClient and pass
it down during object construction.
state_changed_proxy() updates the value of @state and must also emit
the notify signal for it.
Without this, when the PropertiesChanged signal carrying the change of
'state' arrives after StateChanged, we notice that the value of @state
doesn't change and don't emit the notify, causing a loss of the state
change event.

NMVpnConnectionStateReason is no longer used and replaced by
NMActiveConnectionStateReason. However, the old enums should
stay in place as they were:
Otherwise:
#define NMVpnConnectionStateReason NMActiveConnectionStateReason
causes compiler warnings:
NMVpnConnectionStateReason x;
x = NM_VPN_CONNECTION_STATE_REASON_UNKNOWN; // -Wenum-conversion
if (x == NM_VPN_CONNECTION_STATE_REASON_NO_SECRETS) { } // -Wenum-compare
Similarly, a user who didn't upgrade shall continue to get the
old GType for NM_TYPE_VPN_CONNECTION_STATE_REASON.
In practice, old users will have no issues using the old enum
the places where it worked before.
The only use of the deprecated enum is in vpn_state_changed()
signal slot of NMVpnConnection. This makes the signal slot
itself deprecated. However, NMVpnConnection is an NMObject and commonly
created within libnm itself, not by the user. It is very unlikely that
a user of libnm subclassed NMVpnConnection and makes use of the
vpn_state_changed() signal slot. So, deprecate it without replacement.
