This is correct, unfortunately I personally cannot give you any hints but if you take this on I am sure that a lot of others would be interested in seeing the results. There is a listing of all the api's used in the source tarball under docs and an example (using python) under docs. Here is a link to the document in SVN (Note this is for the 6.5 release): http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/NetworkManager/tags/NETWORKMANAGER_0_6_5_RELEASE/docs/NetworkManager%20DBUS%20API.txt?revision=2558&view=markup _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
