We can change the property's D-Bus signature (and thus API) here
because querying the IP6Config object's properties caused NM to
crash. Apparently we forgot to change the type of the Address
property when we C&P-ed the IP4Config into the IP6Config, and
DBUS_TYPE_G_ARRAY_OF_ARRAY_OF_UINT is certainly the wrong type
to use since the backing object that dbus-glib would marshal
into the ARRAY_OF_ARRAY_OF_UINT wasn't that type, causing a
crash in dbus-glib when a client got the IP6Config.
Due to dbus-glib limitations we still have to keep two copies of this,
and furthermore PropertiesChanged won't yet trigger for the VPN bits
since there's no way to push out signals on a different interface.
In the past networkmanager did not allow to manually disconnect devices.
Manually disconnected devices will not be automatically reconnected until one
of the following events occur:
1. user activates a connection for the currently disconnected device
2. network manager awakes from hibernate/suspend
3. network manager is restarted (e.g. reboot)
Add a Disconnect method to generic NMDevice dbus interface; set a new private
autoconnect_inhibit flag if Disconnect method is called through dbus.
Based on this auto activation for devices gets inhibited until one
of the above events occur.
Instead of doing this in every device subclass, do it in the NMDevice
superclass. nm_device_can_activate() already did the same logic that
each of the subclass device_state_changed() handlers were doing to
figure out whether they could do the transition from unavailable
to disconnected, so just use that in NMDevice and kill lots of code.
Since the new PolicyKit does away with easy checking of authorizations,
we get to implement it by ourselves, but that's OK since we can actually
use it for a lot more stuff. So add the GetPermissions call which returns
the permissions the caller actually has, and a signal informing callers
that their permissions might have changed. Hook this all up to
PolicyKit so it's useful.
Make NMSettingsService implement most of the NMSettingsInterface
API to make subclasses simpler, and consolidate exporting of
NMExportedConnection subclasses in NMSettingsService instead of
in 3 places. Make NMSysconfigSettings a subclass of
NMSettingsService and save a ton of code.
Mark activation requests that contain connections to be assumed,
and use that to short-circuit various parts of the activation
process by not touching various device attributes, since they
are already set up. Also ensure the device is not deactivated
when it initially becomes managed, because that would kill the
connection we are about to assume.
The old NMExportedConnection was used for both client and server-side classes,
which was a mistake and made the code very complicated to follow. Additionally,
all PolicyKit operations were synchronous, and PK operations can block for a
long time (ie for user input) before returning, so they need to be async. But
NMExportedConnection and NMSysconfigConnection didn't allow for async PK ops
at all.
Use this opportunity to clean up the mess and create GInterfaces that both
server and client objects implement, so that the connection editor and applet
can operate on generic objects like they did before (using the interfaces) but
can perform specific operations (like async PK verification of callers) depending
on whether they are local or remote or whatever.
The only thing that doesn't work yet is the system-settings service's
"auto eth" connections for ethernet devices that don't have an existing
connection. Might also have issues with unmanaged devices that can't
provide a MAC address until they are brought up, but we'll see.
Don't do anything with WINS servers (dispatcher scripts installed with
samba could certainly update samba's idea of WINS servers), but at least
provide them so that the VPNs that can get upstream WINS servers can
at least make other stuff aware of them.
