* Real Access Point mode support
|
||||
|
||||
Now that NetworkManager requires wpa_supplicant 0.7.x or later, we can add
|
||||
full Access Point (AP) mode support. NetworkManager currently implements
|
||||
connection sharing via AdHoc mode support, which has some limitations. Instead,
|
||||
we should check whether the wifi device supports AP mode, and if so, use
|
||||
that mode instead. wpa_supplicant has support for a "lightweight AP" mode which
|
||||
we should use. Witold Sowa started this support a while ago and wrote the new
|
||||
D-Bus API for wpa_supplicant that makes all this possible, but some NM pieces
|
||||
are still missing. If the wifi driver supports AP mode, then in
|
||||
src/supplicant-manager/ NM should send an AP-mode config instead of sending
|
||||
the adhoc config.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that some devices (airo, ipw2100, ipw2200, iwl3945, iwl4965, atmel, zd1201)
|
||||
will never support AP mode due to firmware limitations, so we clearly must still
|
||||
provide Ad-Hoc connection sharing support for those devices and switch between
|
||||
Ad-Hoc and AP mode depending on device capabilities.
|
||||

||||

* Implement NM_DEVICE_STATE_DISCONNECTING

To allow for "pre-down" scenarios, this state should be implemented before a
