Hi, I'm looking for some insight into how to use the NM DBus API. (I've poked around a bit in the libnm-util and network-manager-applet sources but my small brain is none the wiser.)
I have a single *system* connection (no user connections) and I want to change the settings of this system connection. Just looking at the interfaces, it seems I need to call NetworkManagerSettings.ListConnections() on the NetworkManagerSystemSettings service (this is NM 0.7/0.8) to get the path of the connection object; and then call NetworkManagerSettings.Connection.Update( ... ) on this object, with the new settings. If this method call returns successfully (i.e. no error, as it has no out arguments), what does it mean -- that the connection is now active, or merely that the settings have been applied (potentially disconnecting the connection)? Which signals should I register for, to know when the new settings have successfully taken effect? My experiments sending some messages with D-Feet indicate that calling Update() on the System Connection isn't allowed ("Read-only connections may not be modified") -- or is this merely a configuration issue around DBus permissions? Finally, any tips on tools for sending DBus messages? dbus-send doesn't support nested containers (which are required by Connection.Update()) and I haven't had much luck sending nested container parameters with D-Feet either. Perhaps bindings to a language like Python will be the way to go for quick exploration.
