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.
The original GetAccessPoints() method call never returned hidden SSID
access points. That's useful though, and the new AccessPoints
property returns all of them too, so add this new method to return
all access points, including hidden SSID ones.
While this function only returns the path of the requested connection
(the actual settings are always protected), callers that aren't in
the connection's ACL still probably shouldn't get that, if only to
be pedantic.
Now that the objects get replaced when IP configuration changes
instead of being destroyed and a new one created, they need
PropertiesChanged signals.
(noticed as a result of auditing all exported D-Bus objects)
Add IP and DHCP config properties to the D-Bus ActiveConnection
objects.
For device connections, this is redundant with the properties already
on the Device object, but for VPN connections, this information was
not previously available.
Use the new kernel physical_port_id interface property to recognize
when two devices are just virtual devices sharing the same physical
port, and refuse to bond/team multiple slaves on the same port.
When called with a connection path, activates that connection.
When called without a connection path, picks the best available
connection to activate for that device.
Doesn't work with VPN connections because they don't have devices.
The errors were documented as org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.VPN.Error.*,
but the actual values were org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.VPN.Plugin.*
Also update the errors documentation.
The ConnectInteractive() -> Connect() fallback code doesn't work, because
_connect_internal() changes the state to NM_VPN_SERVICE_STATE_STARTING before
checking if it can implement ConnectInteractive(), and then when the Connect()
call comes in, the VPN is not in STOPPED or INIT, so it returns an error.
The commit moves setting state to STARTING after the ConnectInteractive() check
availability, in the plugin. We introduce new plugin error and set it when the
the plugin does not implement ConnectInteractive(). NetworkManager uses this
error for ConnectInteractive() -> Connect() fallback.

It doesn't change once it's set, and it reflects the original
specific object used during activation. It will not, for example,
switch to the currently active WiFi access point even if the
original access point that was used as the specific object disappears.
When the IP[46]Config changes, a new configuration gets assembled.
Before, whenever the new configuration was different than the current
one, the IP[46]Config of the device was completely replaced. This also
meant, that the old dbus IP[46]Config object was removed and the new one
was exported.
Now instead of recreating a new configuration, it updates the existing
(already exported) configuration in-place.
Also, add new gobject properties 'gateway' and 'searches' to the config class,
they will be exported over dbus.
Also, whenever any of the exported properties changes, make sure that a
notify signal gets emitted.

Add properties to track the "primary" connection (ie, the active
connection with either the default route, or the route to the VPN with
the default route), and the active connection that is currently
activating, and likely to become the :primary-connection when it
completes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704841
NM_STATE_CONNECTED_SITE doesn't distinguish between "behind a captive
portal" and "limited network connectivity" (ie, connected to a router
that has lost its upstream connection). Add a new NMManager
:connectivity property to provide this information.
Also add a CheckConnectivity method, which can be used to force NM to
re-check the connectivity state, which could be called by a client
after it completed a portal login, or fixed a network problem.
Add a property on NMManager indicating that it is currently starting
up and activating startup-time/boot-time network connections.
"startup" is initially TRUE, and becomes FALSE once all NMDevices
report that they have no pending activity (eg, trying to activate,
waiting for a wifi scan to complete, etc). This is tracked via a new
NMDevice:has-pending-activity property, which is maintained partially
by the device itself, and partially by other parts of the code.
If all agents can handle VPN hints, then we'll try to use
ConnectInteractive() to let the VPN plugin ask for secrets
interactively via the SecretsRequired signal. These hints
are then passed to agents during the connection process if
the plugin needs more secrets or different secrets, and when
the new secrets are returned, they are passed back to the VPN
plugin.
If at least one agent does not have the VPN hints capability,
we can't use ConnectInteractive(), but fall back to the old
Connect call, because that agent won't be able to send the
hints to the VPN plugin's authentication dialog, and thus
we won't get back the secrets the VPN plugin is looking for.
So, for interactive secrets to work correctly, you need:
1) A VPN plugin updated for interactive secrets requests
2) NM updated for interactive secrets requests
3) all agents to set the VPN_HINTS capability when
registering with NetworkManager and to pass hints
along to the VPN authentication dialog
4) a VPN authentication dialog updated to look for hints
and only return secrets corresponding to the hints
requested by the plugin
There are three additions to the D-Bus interface for VPN plugins as
part of this patch:
1) ConnectInteractive(): called by NM instead of Connect() to let
the plugin know that it can request additional secrets during the
connection process using SecretsRequired
2) SecretsRequired: a new signal emitted by the plugin to indicate
to NetworkManager that additional secrets are required to connect;
can only be called if NetworkManager initiated the connection by
calling the ConnectInteractive() method
3) NewSecrets(): a new method of the plugin that NetworkManager calls
when new secrets requested by the SecretsRequired signal have been
retrieved from secret agents
We need new methods because agents need to be aware of the hints that
the VPN plugins may send with the SecretsRequired signal (detailing
the specific secrets that are required) and at this time, not all
agents support passing those hints to the VPN plugin authentication
dialogs.
Add a "monitor-connection-files" config option, which can be set to
"false" to disable automatic reloading of connections on file change.
To go with this, add a new ReloadConnections method on
o.fd.NM.Settings that can be used to manually reload connections, and
add an nm-cli command to call it.
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.
We don't always want to immediately write new connections to disk, to
facilitate "runtime" or "temporary" connections where an interface's
runtime config isn't backed by on-disk config. Also, just because
an interface's configuration is changed doesn't necessarily mean
that new configuration should be written to disk either.
Add D-Bus methods for adding new connections and for updating existing
connections that don't immediately save the connection to disk.
Also add infrastructure to indicate to plugins that the new connection
shouldn't be immediately saved if the connection was added with the
new method.
Use the new NMConnection 'changed' signal to mark connections
as dirty/unsaved, and reset that when they get flushed to disk.
Previously, the 'Updated' signal was emitted only when the
connection was changed and flushed to disk, but now we have
more granular needs, and the signal is emitted whenever the
connection actually *is* changed, regardless of whether its
flushed to disk or not.
Add NMDeviceGeneric, to provide generic support for unknown device
types, and create NMDeviceGenerics for those devices that NM
previously was ignoring. Allow NMSettingGeneric connections to be
activated on (managed) NMDeviceGenerics.
Agents are expected to save any new/updated secrets returned to
NetworkManager from a GetSecrets call, as it would be silly to return
those same secrets right back to the agent via SaveSecrets when the
agent is perfectly capable of saving the secrets itself without
round-tripping to NetworkManager and back.
Some wireless devices don't support Ad-Hoc mode. Expose this fact in
the wireless capabilities so that clients can disable the hot-spot
option if neither CAP_ADHOC nor CAP_AP is available.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692869
This reverts commit 2ad6dcf215.
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.PPP is a private interface between
NM and nm-ppp-plugin and we don't want it in the documentation.
A new value for NM80211Mode is introduced (NM_802_11_MODE_AP) and the
new mode is passed to wpa_supplicant analogous to adhoc-mode.
The places which need to know the interface mode have been extended to
handle the new mode.
If the configuration does not contain a fixed frequency, a channel is
selected the same way as with adhoc-mode before.
When the supplicant starts connecting, or gets disconnected, track
whether it ever starts talking to an AP. Then if the connection fails
as a result of an initial connection timeout or a link timeout, we
can use SSID_NOT_FOUND when we're reasonably sure the AP doesn't
exist. Clients can use this to show better error messages.
Note that SSID_NOT_FOUND may only be reported when using nl80211
drivers, as WEXT drivers don't provide the status necessary to
determine whether the network exists or not.
Implements a new property that provides a list of currently
available connections a device could connect to. For example
if a connection for a particular wireless connection exists and
that wireless network appears in the scan list it would show in the
AvailableConnections property of the device.
(dcbw: found a slightly cleaner way to do this; it's a lot like the
check_connection_compatible class method, except it deals with
live network data too. So convert the subclass methods to
just check additional live network data, and have the base
device class handle adding the connection to the hash and all
the associated signalling. Also fix a bug where the available
connections were not updated when a device moved from UNAVAILABLE
to available, its available connections were not updated)
Allows agents to provide different behavior depending on whether the
secrets request was initiated by a user (eg by picking a connection
from a UI menu or by 'nmcli con up') or was automatically started by
NetworkManager.
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660293
The info is extracted via SIOCETHTOOL ioctl() syscall using ETHTOOL_GDRVINFO.
This works for most drivers but not all, e.g. for modems. We may figure out how
to get the info for specific devices, and enhance the solution by implementing
specific functions for particular device types later.
