Correct. You can insert the new dictionary for the "ipv4" setting and send all the previous settings, plus the new "ipv4" setting, back with the Update() call. That will save it to disk. > Also, I noticed org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.IP4config does have a property > name Addresses which returns the type of information I am looking to modify > (but missing the dns infos in the old ipv4 structure) but there is not way to > modify and set these parameters through the interface or any other. The IP4Config interface is the runtime configuration, after the Connection and it's associated settings have been applied to the interface. So for example, the Connection settings might specify "method=auto" (ie, DHCP), and then when DHCP is run, the actual IP address and DNS settings populate the IP4Config object. The Connection is only the saved profile configuration information used to connect to the network, but it does not store any runtime configuration in NM 0.9.8 and lower. > Can anybody advise me on the right course to modify the IP settings in NM > 0.9.4+? Depending on the language you're working with, there are some examples here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/examples I've just added two python examples which should show what needs to be done: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/examples/python/dbus/update-ip4-method.py http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/examples/python/gi/update-ip4-method.py Let me know if you have more questions!
