* src/NetworkManagerDevice.c
- Use the driver's WE version for scanning rather than
the WE version NM was compiled with. Fixes random
crashes in iw_scan () in iwlib.

* Replace the "driver support level" stuff with capabilities. The
capability field is a bitfield that is more flexible than the
old driver support level thing. It's mostly so we can easily
figure out what supports WPA and what doesn't, but should be
quite useful later.

Suggestion from Bill Moss:
* src/NetworkManagerSystem.c
- (nm_system_device_set_up_down_with_iface): ignore ENODEV
* src/NetworkManager.c
- (nm_data_free): move destruction of the various managers after
release of device list, because deactivating and freeing a device
requires at least the named manager
- (nm_poll_and_update_wireless_link_state):
(nm_device_link_activated):
(nm_device_link_deactivated):
don't grab the device list lock when actually updating device
link status or strength, since nm_device_set_link_active()
needs to call nm_get_active_device(), which also locks the device list.
* src/NetworkManagerDevice.c
- (nm_device_set_link_active): if a device's link switches from off->on,
and it's wired, and the active device is wireless (or there is no
active device), activate the new device whose link just came on
- (link_to_specific_ap): try to smooth over intermittency in wireless links
my only calling the link to the current ap "failed" when more than 2
consecutive link checks have failed

* Kill dhcpcd. We now use "dhcdbd", a dbus daemon that controls dhclient.
This means that NetworkManager shouldn't have DHCP issues anymore. It also
means you need dhcdbd, which you can get here (get the latest one):
http://people.redhat.com/jvdias/dhcdbd/
Technically NetworkManager can use any DHCP daemon that uses the same DBUS
interface as dhcdbd.
* Rewrite device activation to facilitate the new DHCP infrastructure and
future improvements. Its now "activation request" based, ie there is a single
activation request composed of the device, access point, and other info which
follows the entire activation process. There are 5 stages of the activation
process which correspond to:
1) Device preparation
2) Device configuration (bring it up, set ESSID/Key/etc)
3) IP Config Start (fire off DHCP if we're using it)
4) IP Config Get (grab config from DHCP or static config files)
5) IP Config Commit (set device's IP address, DNS, etc)
Note that there is no longer a "scanning" step, since the access point must
be known _before_ activation starts. If the access point drops out or does
not exist for some reason, the entire activation process fails and must be
restarted for a different access point or device.

Initial VPN Support
- supports 'vpnc'
- reworks device IP configuration, backend files have changed and will need
to be updated for all distributions. I will try to do what I can for
them, but I cannot test them.
- Move named directory to src/named-manager
- Make backends directory self-contained

Perform scans during device activation, if needed. Both activation
and scans run in the same GMainContext. Therefore, if an access point
is not found by the time the device starts activation, it will not
be available until after activation. We now try to scan during
activation (in nm_wa_test) every 15s so that all available access
points are more likely to be found and available for the activation
procedure.
Also change nm_wireless_link_state_handle() to only update the "best"
AP if we are not forcing a device and if we are not about to change
state. This attempts to work around a race when forcing a device,
where the forced AP would get cleared out too soon by the link state
checking timeout in the main thread, and the activation attempt with
that AP would fail.

panel-applet/NMWirelessAppletOtherNetworksDialog.c
- Correct spelling of "adaptor"->"adapter"
2005-02-18 William Jon McCann <mccann@jhu.edu>
* panel-applet/NMWirelessApplet.c: Use GTK_CHECK_VERSION() macro.
(nmwa_about_cb): Use standard copyright string. Update comment
text to reflect that it is a notification area applet. Remove
leading newline in authors list.
(nmwa_menu_show_cb, nmwa_setup_widgets): Populate menu on show
instead of on parent menu item activation. Fixes#167550.
2005-02-18 William Jon McCann <mccann@jhu.edu>

* panel-applet/NMWirelessApplet.[ch]
- Add a context menu that contains:
Pause/Resume Wireless Scanning
Stop/Start All Wireless Devices
About...
- Grab active device strength off active device,
not its network
* panel-applet/NMWirelessAppletDbus.[ch]
- Add DBUS accessors for "getSupportsCarrierDetect", "setScanningEnabled",
"getScanningEnabled", "setWirelessEnabled", and "getWirelessEnabled"
- Update active device strength every 2 seconds, not every 1 second
* panel-applet/menu-info.c
- Only disable wired devices in the menu when they support carrier detection,
and don't currently have a link. Non-carrier-detect devices will always
remain choosable
* src/Makefile.am
src/NetworkManagerDbusUtils.[ch]
- Add new new dbus utils sources
* src/NetworkManager.c
- Fixes for new link detection, we no longer need to call nm_device_update_link_active()
with the boolean parameter
- Set scanning_enabled & wireless_enabled to TRUE
* src/NetworkManagerDbus.c
- Use new dbus util method dispatcher functions for org.freedesktop.NetworkManager methods
- Implement scanning & wireless enable/disable calls
- Remove the dbus vtable unregister handlers, weren't doing anything with them anyway
* src/NetworkManagerDevice.c
- New link detection stuff again...
o Create device's mainloop earlier (but don't run it earlier)
o Hook up new carrier-detect support stuff
o Add in the ethtool & mii support detection code
- Don't scan if scanning is disabled
* src/NetworkManagerPolicy.c
- Never automatically choose a device that doesn't support carrier detection
- Don't automatically choose a wireless device if wireless is disabled

* info-daemon/NetworkManagerInfoDbus.c
- (nmi_dbus_nmi_message_handler): make sure 'dialog' exists before using it
* src/NetworkManagerDevice.c
- (nm_device_new): Don't store the entire range struct, use only what we need
(which is currently avg_quality, max_quality, and frequencies). Also
zero device structure when we've free'd it to maybe expose errors down
the line.
- (nm_device_update_signal_strength): grab the scan mutex before getting
quality data from the card since quality will be useless during a scan.
Call updated wireless qual-to-percent function with values stored in
nm_device_new() earlier.
- Remove some unused functions (nm_device_get_max_quality(), nm_device_get_noise(),
nm_device_get_bad_crypt_packets())
- (nm_device_activate_wireless_adhoc): use new frequency values we go in
nm_device_new()
- (get_initial_auth_method): always use the Auth method that's in the allowed
list if available. Problem was this: when the WEP key is wrong, NM will
try OS then SK modes, and then get stuck in SK mode after that. This
should reset it.
- (nm_device_wireless_process_scan_results): work with new qual-to-percent
function
* src/NetworkManagerWireless.c
- (nm_wireless_qual_to_percent): try to make this function actually work and
mimic iwlib behavior. Use card's idea of quality divided by max_qual
if that's all present, otherwise fall back to signal-to-noise ratios.

src/NetworkManagerDevicePrivate.h
- Block nm_device_new() until our device's worker thread has had a
chance to start up. Fixes a race between main thread and worker
thread starting that caused activation requests to get lost.

* Cache last-known-good wireless authentication method in
NetworkManagerInfo, and use that method first during
wireless device activation. Should speed up devices that
need Shared Key authentication method since Open System is
now the default.
* Remove the hack to not do full activation on wired connections
that are active when we launch, it causes too many problems
with name resolution and was a hack in the first place.
* Re-work wireless device activation again somewhat to have a
clearer chain of events and to use last-known-good
authentication method of the access point. Also provide
better status throughout activation to ensure the applet
can tell the user exactly what's going on.
* Remove the "find wireless network" code and now simply attempt
to activate with that access point. This reduces the delay
between selecting "Other wireless Network" and actually
connecting to that network.
* Correctly stop the device's worker thread when its removed.

- Wrap others in #ifdef DEBUG/#endif
* src/NetworkManager.c
- Remove some debug messages
- Clarify some debug messages
- Remove code related to old single-thread wireless scanning
* src/NetworkManagerAP.[ch]
- New AP property "last_seen" to track how recently an AP was
found in a scan
- Start using 'const' more in function arguments
* src/NetworkManagerAPList.[ch]
- (nm_ap_list_merge_scanned_ap): new, selectively update attributes
of an AP found in an AP list from a source AP, or if not found
in the list add the source AP
- (nm_ap_list_combine): remove, no longer needed
* src/NetworkManagerDevice.c
- Each device now has a "worker" thread from start to end of its life.
Scanning for wireless devices now happens in that thread,
not in a single "wireless scanning thread" for all devices as
previously. Activation consists of adding an idle handler to the
thread's main loop/context, which gets run at the next available
opportunity.
- Wireless scanning is also simplified, there is now only one list of
access points per wireless device, and APs older than 60s are
removed from the list. Previously, we kept results for the last
3 scans and merged whole lists, which was complicated.
- Cleaned up activation debug messages.
- Wireless activation and access-point search routines now use Open System
authentication before trying Shared Key.
- Removed some code in nm_device_update_best_ap() that could cause cards
to loose their link to the access point.
- Scanning now uses a backoff algorithm, where the inverval becomes
progressively longer between scans when the list of scanned access
points doesn't change. A change will revert to the shortest scan
interval (20s).
* src/NetworkManagerWireless.[ch]
- Remove code related to old single-thread wireless scanning

* dhcpcd/client.c
- Rework the DHCP client code to be much less chatty when
it receives non-DHCP UDP packets during the DHCP run
(reported by and preliminary patches from Bill Moss)
* Move wireless scanning to a separate thread. This thread forwards the
results to the main thread when done where they are integrated into
the device's access point lists. This keeps the main thread (which
does all the DBUS communication) from being blocked for long periods
of time by wireless scanning.
* Make state modification an idle routine in the main loop, and trigger
state changes rather than polling for them.
* src/backends/NetworkManagerGentoo.c
- Fix up invalid C90 code (reported by Christoph Ruessler)

* Ad Ad-Hoc networking mode support. In Ad-Hoc mode, we only try to get
link-local addresses instead of doing DHCP.
* In the panel applet, there's a new "Create new Wireless Network..." item
* The panel applet also sticks around now even if NetworkManager dies, but
it doesn't hide its icon when NM isn't around. Not hiding the icon is
a bug, I'll fix that later.
* We also don't use 'nscd' anymore in the RH backend, it was impeding name
lookups after a switch rather than actually doing them.
* Clean up some of those warnings in nm_ap_list_* functions
* Delay between scans changed to 15s instead of 10s
