You should use the Settings path to get the settings for a

I figured that out minutes before I saw your reply :S


DBUS Service: "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"
DBUS Object Path:
"/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager"
DBUS Interface:
"org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"

This little snippet made me think.
Depending which Object you're working with you have different Interfaces
available to manipulate the object. I found the Settings object,
eventually. Initially I was trying to work with a Devices object. 

Now
that I know this, I went over the example again and did see
getConnection was indeed returning a settings path.

QtNetworkManager make those details transparent. Unfortunately there is
not small example of how to use it. I use it in Plasma
NetworkManagement, but Plasma NM is a big program. If you want to try
take a look at manager.h and connection.h, those probably contain the
methods you are looking for.

This is great news. The bad news is that I
am very new to Qt and C++ so it may be too tricky for me to get started
without examples. 

The functionality I need is the basic set: getting
interfaces, IP addresses, default gateway, setting an IP addresses...
Not much past that. Do you think you could put together a small example
that lists interfaces and sets an IP address on an interface? 

The
GObject and Python APIs look so simple :( 

Thanks for your reply,
