OLPC Mesh code now doesn't have to be updated every time we change
the manager's creation arguments. We could make all these arguments
GObject properties of the manager too, but that's more code and
we'd eventually like to figure out a better solution for letting
non-NMManager code listen for device addition/removal.
When a default wired connection is saved, it gets deleted first since it
has to be re-created using a settings plugin. But with the settings
rework in 0.9, default wired refcounting changed and the default
wired connection wasn't kept alive in default_wired_try_update()
over the removal/readd. This caused a use-after-free.
We are using the default cb set anyways. This allows running NM with
the NLCB=debug environment variable set to get some debug messages
out of libnl related to netlink communication.
NLCB=debug won't print received netlink messages as the MSG_IN
handler is in use by NM to verify message origins. It's probably
best to introduce new handlers in libnl for debugging purpose
so both use of MSG_IN and enable debugging is possible.
Flags are not getting set when a route is added (e.g. NLM_F_REPLACE).
Apparently this was fixed in Ubuntu, but I didn't see a patch here, so
here it is.
Verifies that provided message consists of at least the link message
header. nlmsg_parse() does this so it needs to be called prior to
accessing the message contents.
* When a connection name (ID) was changed via nm-connection-editor, a new file
path was created, but the old one was not removed. That resulted in two files
and in turn in duplicated connections.
* When two connections with the same name (ID) were present, e.g. files ABC and
ABC-70656842-98ac-4221-aa8b-0d4174770, and nm-connection-editor was used to
edit ABC-70656842-98ac-4221-aa8b-0d4174770, the operation failed.
A race condition meant that sometimes, if the wimax device finished
scanning while stage1 (Prepare) was scheduled but hadn't executed yet:
NetworkManager[8700]: <info> (wmx0): device state change: disconnected -> prepare (reason 'none') [30 40 0]
NetworkManager[8700]: <info> Activation (wmx0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) scheduled...
NetworkManager[8700]: <info> (wmx0): wimax state change scanning -> ready (reason 0)
the code would schedule stage2 which meant that stage1 was completely
skipped. But that's where the active-nsp property was set, which
meant clients would not be notified of the new active NSP. This
caused nm-applet to show a zero-signal-strength icon for WiMAX
because libnm-glib didn't know there was an active NSP, even though
NM was connected.
! after the option is deprecated at least as far back as iptables
1.4.12 on 2.6.32. ! should be before the option instead.
Reported-by: Ralf Jung <ralfjung-e@gmx.de>
nm_access_point_get_hw_address() is deprecated in 0.9.
Also change 'hwaddr' parameter for 'nmcli dev wifi list' to 'bssid'. 'hwaddr'
still works but is deprecated and not documented any more.
