Watch for NMSettingConnection changes and creation signals and convert them to IWD format and write them to the configured IWD profile storage directory. The logic is off by default and gets enabled when the new iwd-config-path setting in nm.conf's [main] group is set to a path to an existing directory. The idea here is that when a user edits an NM connection profile, the change is immediately mirrored in IWD since IWD watches its configuration directory using inotify. This way NM clients can be used to edit 802.1x settings, the PSK passphrase or the SSID -- changes that would previously not take effect with the IWD backend. Some precautions are taken to not make connections owned by a user available to other users, such connections are not converted at all. In all other cases where a connection cannot be converted sufficiently well to the IWD format, for various reasons, we also give up and not mirror these connections. Due to IWD limitations and design differences with NM this logic has many problems where it may not do its task properly. It's meant to work on a best-effort and "better than nothing" basis, but it should be safe in that it shouldn't delete users data or reveal secrets, etc. The most obvious limitation is that there can be multiple NM connections referring to the same SSID+Security tuple and only one IWD profile can exist because the filename is based on only the SSID+Security type. We already had one NM connection selected for each IWD KnownNetwork and referenced by a pointer, so we ignore changes in NM connections other than that selected one. |
