This property is TRUE for devices that exist either as a kernel device
or are backed by some other resource (eg, ModemManager object, Bluez
device, etc). It will eventually be FALSE for software devices that
are not yet instantiated.
The new object type represents tunnels over IPv4 and IPv6.
We have a single setting type (NMSettingIPTunnel) for tunnels and it
can't be shared among different device factories. So we define also a
single device type for all tunnels.
This new object will also represent GRE tunnels, which before were
instantiated as NMDeviceGre and had a ".Device.Gre" D-Bus
interface. This commit introduces a change in behavior.
Since libnm is the preferred way to interact with NM now, we don't
want to add new device types to libnm-glib.
Make libnm-glib recognize TUN devices as generic ones and modify
NMDeviceGeneric to use the correct D-Bus interface based on the actual
device type.
This adds a LldpNeighbors property to the Device D-Bus interface
carrying information about devices discovered through LLDP. The
property is an array of hashes and each hash describes the values of
LLDP TLVs for a specific neighbor.
Without this, the user cannot configure only certain logging domains
without touching them all.
E.g.
# nmcli general logging level DEBUG domains PLATFORM
will disable all non-PLATFORM domains.
Well, the user can do:
# nmcli general logging level INFO domains PLATFORM:DEBUG
# nmcli general logging level DEBUG domains ALL:INFO,PLATFORM
but in this case all non-PLATFORM domains are reset explicitly.
Now the user can:
# nmcli general logging level KEEP domains PLATFORM:DEBUG
# nmcli general logging level DEBUG domains ALL:KEEP,PLATFORM
which will only change the platform domain.
Add some missing files to libnmdbus.la. Add missing name-fixing
annotations to the XML to make all generated NMDBus types match the
names of their corresponding NM types.
For existing devices, depending on the order that netlink sends interfaces to
us, the parent may be found after the VLAN interface and not be available when
the VLAN interface is constructed. Instead of failing construction, when a
NMDeviceVlan has no parent keep it unavailable for activation. Then have
the Manager notify existing devices when a new device is found, and let
NMDeviceVlan find the parent later and become available via that mechanism.
This doesn't apply to VLANs created by NM itself, because the kernel requires
a parent ifindex when creating a VLAN device. Thus this fix only applies to
VLANs created outside NetworkManager, or existing when NM starts up.
Add new capabilities CAP_FREQ_2GHZ and CAP_FREQ_5GHZ to indicate the
frequency bands supported by a Wifi device.
Add also CAP_FREQ_VALID, which is set when the values of the other 2
capabilities are available.

Add AddressData and RouteData properties to NMSettingIPConfig and
NMIP[46]Config. These are like the existing "addresses" and "routes"
properties, but using strings and containing additional attributes,
like NMIPAddress and NMIPRoute.
This only affects the D-Bus representations; there are no API changes
to NMSettingIP{,4,6}Config or NMIP{4,6}Config as a result of this; the
additional information is just added to the existing 'addresses' and
'routes' properties.
NMSettingIP4Config and NMSettingIP6Config now always generate both
old-style data ('addresses', 'address-labels', 'routes') and new-style
data ('address-data', 'gateway', 'route-data') when serializing to
D-Bus, for backward compatibility. When deserializing, they will fill
in the 'addresses' and 'routes' properties from the new-style data if
it is present (ignoring the old-style data), or from the old-style
data if the new-style isn't present.
The daemon-side NMIP4Config and NMIP6Config always emit changes for
both 'Addresses'/'Routes' and 'AddressData'/'RouteData'. The
libnm-side classes initially listen for changes on both properties,
but start ignoring the 'Addresses' and 'Routes' properties once they
know the daemon is also providing 'AddressData' and 'RouteData'.
Previously the only thing preventing default-unmanaged devices from
being auto-activated was luck and the fact that they didn't have any
available connections when in the UNMANAGED state. That's no longer
true, so we must be more explicit about their behavior.
Furthermore it makes no sense to allow default-unmanaged devices
to set priv->autoconnect=TRUE since that is never supposed to
happen, so enforce that both in NM itself and if the change
request comes in over the D-Bus interface.
Lastly, internal priv->autoconnect=TRUE changes never emitted a
property change notification, meaning the NMPolicy would never
schedule an autoconnect check if the device's priv->autoconnect
was set to TRUE as a result of re-activating or waking from sleep.
This will provide an extremely easy way for applications to find out
what type of connection the system is currently using. They might want
to do this to avoid using data if a phone is on a 3G connection, for
example.
Having this as a separate property provides at least two advantages:
1) it reduces code complexity for those wanting only this one simple
piece of information
2) we could allow access to this property (but nothing else) to
privilege-separated applications in the future
This patch adds the missing nm_active_connection_get_connection_type()
which was in the header file but never actually implemented.

Move the definition of NMManagerError to nm-errors, register it with
D-Bus, and verify in the tests that it maps correctly.
NM_MANAGER_ERROR_INTERNAL gets renamed to NM_MANAGER_ERROR_FAILED for
consistency. NM_MANAGER_ERROR_UNMANAGED_DEVICE is dropped since that
name doesn't really describe the one place it was previously used in.
NM_MANAGER_ERROR_SYSTEM_CONNECTION is dropped because it was't being
used. NM_MANAGER_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_CONNECTION_TYPE is dropped because
it can be replaced with an NM_CONNECTION_ERROR.
NM_MANAGER_ERROR_AUTOCONNECT_NOT_ALLOWED is turned into the more
generic NM_MANAGER_ERROR_CONNECTION_NOT_AVAILABLE.
Also, remove the <tp:possible-errors> sections from nm-manager.xml,
since they were completely out of date.
Port libnm-core/libnm to GDBus.
The NetworkManager daemon continues to use dbus-glib; the
previously-added connection hash/variant conversion methods are now
moved to NetworkManagerUtils (along with a few other utilities that
are now only needed by the daemon code).
Add support for IPv6 to the pppd plugin and return the interface identifiers
to NetworkManager. Use those to construct the IPv6LL addresses for the
PPP interface and the peer.
If the given PIN was wrong, we really don't want to try that PIN
again automatically because it might lock the SIM. To ensure that
doesn't happen, disable autoconnect so that the user must manually
request reconnection.
(this doesn't fix auto-connect-with-a-wrong-PIN completely, as
autoconnect is reset when resuming from sleep, but it's a start)
Determining when the NMDeviceModem is available and when different
connections are available is easier if the modem's state is tracked,
instead of using the separate Enabled and Connected properties.
These properties could not accurately represent the SIM lock state
and prevented NetworkManager from making the modem available for
auto-activation when locked, even if a PIN was available.
In this new scheme, the NMDeviceModem is UNAVAILABLE when the
ModemManager modem state is FAILED, UNKNOWN, or INITIALIZING. It
transitions to the NM DISCONNECTED state when the modem has finished
initializing and has not failed.
Once the NMDeviceModem is in DISCONNECTED state it can be activated
even if the SIM is locked and a PIN is required; the PIN will be
requested when starting activation, either from the connection itself
or via a secrets request. This makes auto-activation of WWAN
connections possible.
This also allows us to consolidate code dealing with modem enable/disable
into the base NMModem class using the modem state, and to log more modem
information for debugging purposes.
Since vxlan is new-ish, and vxlan IPv6 support in particular has only
been in the kernel since 3.11, we include our own copy of the vxlan
netlink constants rather than depending on the installed headers.
