Don't know if something has changed, but last time I was looking at the cnetworkmanager code it was using the old NM API (version 0.7 I think). -- Vratislav Podzimek Anaconda Rider | Red Hat, Inc. | Brno - Czech Republic ___ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Well, the results when querying google for "network manager dbus api" are far from being ideal.

NM utils in Python?
Hi everyone, is there any way how to use NM utils in Python? This time I need something like 'nm_utils_ip4_netmask_to_prefix()', but there is are many other very useful functions in libnm-util-nm-utils. If there's no way how to use them in Python it might be great to change it. Have a nm-utils Python module written in C? I could do something for it but I have no experience with writing Python modules in C so it would take quite a long time. Thanks a lot in advance for any advice.

As Pantelis mentioned -- if you want to have password not visible for common users, make it system wide. Otherwise you would have to keep your eye on your laptop when logged in.

Re: changing ip addresses using nm dbus with qt
Hi, first of all, you have to get connection which you want to change. ip addresses are set for connection not for device. You can use ListConnections() method of org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Settings (http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/developers/migrating-to-09/spec.html#org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Settings) for this. And then you would have to get connection settings with GetSettings() method of org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Settings.Connection (http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/developers/migrating-to-09/spec.html#org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Settings.Connection) You can then change settings as you need and then use Update() (just above GetSettings() on the latter link). I don't know Qt--D-Bus, so I can't give you exact example.
