Please correct me if I am wrong.
I didn’t find anything on fd.o, but I think NetworkManager is commonly
used under KDE and GNOME, so it’s DBus interface could be used. But NM
is not always present, e.g., some users replace it with wicd, or use
old-school config file network configuration. But maybe I missed
something.
Yeah, there isn't a common API at the moment, I believe. NetworkManager,
Moblin Connman and Maemo ConIC all have different APIs.
So what does the sync-ui check at the moment? Is the "diable sync
because unconnected" an --enable-gui=moblin exclusive feature because we
only support ConnMan?
Yes, although without any compile time checks. I just connect to
org.Moblin.Connman PropertyChanged.
Same could be done with NM and ConIC. It'll be one init function and and
one signal handler per API. I did a "network abstraction" thingy in
geoclue once but I think that was overkill. Is there a downside to just
listening to all of the interfaces we care about all the time?
