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)?
This will just update your new settings for that connection. It won't make the
connection active.
Which signals
should I register for, to know when the new settings have successfully
taken effect?
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection.Updated
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?
You should have root permissions to modify the Network Manager System Settings.
Perhaps bindings to a
language like Python will be the way to go for quick exploration.
Yes, this would be a better option. See the samples.
