Yeah, sorry :( The current dbus interface is pretty ad-hoc and hasn't changed much in 2 years. It won't necessarily be easy to pull out the details (especially for activation of a device with wireless security), but I'm happy to help where I can. I've done nm clients in both C and python. 0.7 bits are much better thought out and correctly use interfaces and objects in a much more understandable manner. That also means it will be a lot simpler to extract the D-Bus interface details and put them into documentation formats. dan > Then again, I'm always screaming "Wiki fixes that!"... :) > > _______________________________________________ > NetworkManager-list mailing list > NetworkManager-list@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
