Remove the org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings bus name and
have everybody talk to org.freedesktop.NetworkManager. Now that we have
a single settings service that's embedded in the main daemon, we don't
need separate names anymore.
NMSettingsConnectionInterface was created to allow the daemon and NM
clients to have common code that handled both system and user
connections. It's no longer needed now that user settings services are
gone.
This concludes the flattening of libnm-glib.
NMSettingsInterface was created to allow code to operate on a settings
service without caring about what kind of settings service it was. Now
that we have just one settings service, this is no longer needed.
More work needs to be done in order to handle errors and permission
settings in an appropriate manner.
In continuation of the theme, the removal of user settings services
means that the distinction between NMSysconfigConnection and
NMExportedConnection is no longer needed. Merge NMExportedConnection
into NMSysconfigConnection.
Much as with nm-remote-settings and nm-remote-settings-system, the
removal of user settings services means there is no more need for
separate interfaces for user and system settings services.
In libnm-glib, this commit merges everything in
nm-settings-system-interface into nm-settings-interface. Alongside with
that, we merge everything in the
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.System DBus interface into
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.
Originally, nm-remote-settings was used by the daemon to monitor the
user settings service, and its subclass nm-remote-settings-system was
used by NM clients to monitor the system settings service. With user
settings services gone, this distinction is no longer needed. Simplify
things a bit and merge the classes.
Now that we have only one settings service, there is no more need to
have common settings service code in libnm-glib. So we can simplify
things somewhat my moving everything from nm-settings-service into
nm-sysconfig-settings.
Remove code related to "connection scope" and such. Later, we will also
do lots of code flattening and simplification that's possible now that
user settings are gone.
If an NMObject listened to property change notifications from
other NMObjects and then in response to that queued up other
property changes of it's own, those would get added to the
property change list that was being iterated through already.
Each name in the change list is freed after being notified,
but the change list itself is actually freed when all
properties have been notified. So an object that queues up
another change notification ends up in _nm_object_queue_notify()
which iterates the change list where half of the data elements
are already freed...
This commit implements MAC cloning feature in NetworkManager. To support that,
'PermHwAddress' property is added into *.Device.Wired and *.Device.Wireless
interfaces. The permanent MAC address is obtained when creating the device, and
is used for 'locking' connections to the device. If a cloned MAC is specified
in connection to be activated, the MAC is set to the interface in stage1. While
disconecting, the permanent MAC is set back to the interface.
Track missing firmware and ensure the device can't be used when firmware
is missing. Add a property for missing firmware so that clients can do
something intelligent with this information.
Since forever we've used sleep/wake as the way to implement
Networking Enabled. When the state file was introduced to make the
networking and wifi states persistent, we ran into a bug where
a failed suspend (like if the machine ran out of power while
suspended) would result in networking being disabled on reboot
since suspend/resume used the same knob as enable/disable.
This patch adds a distinct call for enable/disable networking
which changes the state file, while sleep/wake no longer change
the state file.
Without these properties, the errors like these occured:
WARNING **: handle_property_changed: property 'vpn-state' changed but wasn't
defined by object type NMVPNConnection.
