ifcfg-rh didn't let you unmanage an InfiniBand device by hardware
address because it was recording the hardware address with uppercase
letters, while nm_match_spec_hwaddr() required lowercase. Fix this by
making nm_match_spec_hwaddr() match case-insensitively (and remove the
manual lowercasing that several other places were doing to work around
this.)
keyfile didn't let you unmanage an InfiniBand device by hardware
address because it only accepted ARPHRD_ETHER hardware addresses. Fix
that by using nm_utils_hwaddr_valid() instead.
Optional 'ifname' allowed creating connection applicable to all interfaces,
which was confusing for some users. Now we require the user to provide ifname
to lock the connection for an interface. An "unbound" connection can be
created with ifname "*".
$ nmcli connection add type eth ifname eth0
$ nmcli connection add type eth
now becomes
$ nmcli connection add type eth ifname "*"
bond, bridge:
- when ifname is not specified or is "*",
interface name is generated (nm-bond, nm-bridge)
vlan:
- when ifname is not specified or is "*",
vlan device is named "dev.id"
Note: the quotes around * are required to suppress shell expansion.
Originally it was to keep logical balance, since NMSettings exports
the NMSettingsConnection to D-Bus, but it's kind of pointless to
spend some LoC just for that.
For device types that don't override it, make
nm_device_get_hw_addr_len() use NMPlatform to find out the actual
hardware address length, rather than just defaulting to ETH_ALEN.
Fixes warnings in the logs when using tun or gre devices.
Add nm_utils_hwaddr_ntoa_len() and nm_utils_hwaddr_aton_len(), which
take a length rather than a type, which is generally more convenient,
and also necessary if you might be encountering devices of unknown
types.
nm_device_bt_new() was trying to set NM_DEVICE_MANAGED, but that's
been read-only now for a while. Fortunately, it was already trying to
set it to FALSE, which is the default, so we can just remove that
line.

We need to register NMVpnConnection's properties with the
PropertiesChanged signal (which it inherits from NMActiveConnection)
or it will ignore them.

NM is supposed to ignore carrier and slave states for manual/static
connections when bringing up bonds and bridges, on the theory that
since static configuration does not require connectivity, there's
no need to wait for that connectivity to happen. This wasn't
happening during the IP configuration phase, but was happening
before getting to the IP config phase where the device waits
for slaves before starting IP configuration if the method
requires connectivity.
The sole purpose of this structure was to track in-progress D-Bus
pending calls, so that they could be selectively canceled if the
supplicant got disconnected during assocation (canceling only
assocation-related calls) or if the supplicant went away (canceling
both assocation-related and general calls). But its only benefit
over NMCallStore alone was knowing which list of pending calls to
remove the current pending call from, and we can just explicitly
do that in the code instead.
Thus, the SupplicantInfo structure is removed and replaced with
explicitly adding and removing the pending calls from the call
store.
(The DBusGProxy is not referenced by dbus_g_proxy_begin_call(),
the caller is expected to hold a reference to the proxy for as long
as necessary, and when the proxy is destroyed, all its pending calls
will be canceled. Since the supplicant interface owns the proxies,
there's no possibility that the proxy will outlive the supplicant
interface and thus call back into it when its dead. The old code
referenced the supplicant interface over the life of the pending
call, but that's not necessary.)
Its only purpose is to track a number of DBusGProxyCalls to let
us cancel them all at the same time, without having to track each
call individually in the supplicant code. Instead of abstracting
it to the level of GObject and gpointer, just use the types it's
meant for.
This reverts commit 7902787263.
We'll be requiring wpa_supplicant 1.0+ from now on. wpa_supplicant
1.0 is over a year old a this point, so it's not unrealistic to
bump the requirement.
NOTE: you really do want 1.1 or later anyway if you want to
successfully use WPA-EAP networks, since that version has fixes
to correctly handle PMKSA preauthentication, otherwise you'll
get periodic disconnections on enterprise networks.
'NM_DEVICE_IP_IFACE' has never been a writable property, just skip it and
explicitly call 'nm_device_set_ip_iface()' when the modem is managed by the old
ModemManager.

The whole point of having type_name separate from type was so that
unknown devices could still have known device types. But I wrote it
wrong and then didn't notice until explicitly vxlan support got
removed and vxlans started showing up as "unknown".
nm_platform_query_devices() was just looking in the link_cache,
completely ignoring udev, which means that the link list wasn't
filtered for things NM wants to ignore.
Rather than passing UDI, ifname, and driver name to the device
constructors as separate arguments, just pass the NMPlatformLink
instead and let it parse them out.
Virtual types still take UDI and ifname separately, since we create
fake NMDevices for them for autoactivating connections. That's weird
in other ways too though, so perhaps this should be revisted.
Add a "parent" field to NMPlatformLink, giving the parent device
ifindex for devices that have a parent.
Make nm_platform_link_get_all() sort the links before returning them,
so that masters appear after all of their slaves, and parent devices
appear before their children.
Remove the second call to nm_platform_query_devices() from NMManager
since it is now guaranteed that an NMDeviceVLAN's parent NMDevice will
have been created before the NMDeviceVLAN.
Merge the net-subsystem-monitoring functionality of NMUdevManager into
NMLinuxPlatform (and kill NMUdevManager). NMLinuxPlatform now only
emits link-added signals after udev processes the device, and uses
udev attributes to further identify the device. NMManager now
identifies devices solely based on the NMLinkType provided by the
platform.
There is no longer a 'ModemCapabilities' uint32 property; instead we have
'SupportedCapabilities' giving a list of uint32 values. Just read the list and
merge the values into a single mask; NM doesn't care about the exact
combinations supported.

When requesting connections to ModemManager, NetworkManager shouldn't try to
request specific bands or network types to use. Leave those requests to other
system configuration tools talking directly to ModemManager.

This requires a very recent kernel to even compile, and the kernel
code is still rapidly changing (eg, adding IPv6 support). So take it
out for now, until it stabilizes.
This reverts commit 7f0f04d106.
