- Remove list of authors from files that had them; these serve no
purpose except to quickly get out of date (and were only used in
libnm-util and not libnm-glib anyway).
- Just say "Copyright", not "(C) Copyright" or "Copyright (C)"
- Put copyright statement after the license, not before
- Remove "NetworkManager - Network link manager" from the few files
that contained it, and "libnm_glib -- Access network status &
information from glib applications" from the many files that
contained it.
- Remove vim modeline from nm-device-olpc-mesh.[ch], add emacs modeline
to files that were missing it.
Currently, ethernet-based VLANs can specify the hardware address of
the parent device (and, in theory, the cloned hardware address and MTU
of the VLAN device) by using an NMSettingWired in addition to the
NMSettingVlan.
The theory was that non-ethernet-based VLANs, when we eventually
supported them, would likewise use the setting type corresponding to
their parent device. However, this turns out to be both complicated
(the settings plugins and connection editor would have a
hard-to-impossible time figuring out which setting type to use in some
cases) and incorrect (for most L2 settings [eg, BSSID, bond mode,
etc], the VLAN can't have its own values separate from the parent
device).
What we should have done was just have :mac-address,
:cloned-mac-address, and :mtu properties on NMSettingVlan. However, at
this point, for backward-compatibility, we will just stick with using
a combination of NMSettingVlan and NMSettingWired, but we will use
NMSettingWired regardless of the underlying hardware type.
Add nm_device_connection_compatible() that returns an error when it fails.
nm_device_connection_valid() does the same work except it doesn't set GError.
