6 Object path [variable prefix]/{device0,device1,...}
8 Methods dict GetProperties()
10 Returns properties for the device object. See
11 the properties section for available properties.
13 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
15 void SetProperty(string name, variant value)
17 Changes the value of the specified property. Only
18 properties that are listed as read-write are
19 changeable. On success a PropertyChanged signal
22 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
23 [service].Error.DoesNotExist
25 object CreateNetwork(dict network)
27 Creates a network object from the specified
28 properties. Valid properties are WiFi.SSID,
29 WiFi.Security and WiFi.Passphrase. Check the
30 network interface description for details.
32 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
34 void RemoveNetwork(object network)
36 Removes a previously created network object.
38 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
39 [service].Error.DoesNotExist
41 Signals PropertyChanged(string name, variant value)
43 This signal indicates a changed value of the given
46 Properties string Address [readonly]
48 The address of the device.
50 string Name [readonly]
52 The device name (for example "Wireless" etc.)
54 This name can be used for directly displaying it in
55 the application. It has pure informational purpose.
57 string Type [readonly]
59 The device type (for example "ethernet", "wifi" etc.)
61 string Interface [readonly]
63 The device interface (for example "eth0" etc.)
65 This value is for pure informational purposes. It
66 is not guaranteed that it is always present.
68 string Policy [readwrite]
70 Setting of the device power and connection policy.
71 Possible values are "ignore", "off", "auto"
74 The policy defines on how the device is initialized
75 when brought up and how it connects. The actual
76 device power state can be changed independently to
79 If a device is switched off and the policy is changed
80 to "auto" or "manual", the device will be switched
81 on. For a current active device changing the policy
82 to "off" results in powering down the device.
84 The "ignore" policy can be set for devices that are
85 detected, but managed by a different entity on the
86 system. For example for complex network setups.
88 Devices that can connect to various networks, the
89 difference between "auto" or "manual" defines if
90 known networks are connected automatically or not.
91 For simple devices like Ethernet cards, setting
92 the "manual" policy might fail.
94 uint8 Priority [readwrite]
96 The device priority. Higher values indicate the
97 preference for this device.
99 boolean Powered [readwrite]
101 Switch a device on or off. This will also modify
102 the list of networks in range. All known networks
103 will be still available via the Networks property.
105 Changing this value doesn't change the value of the
108 The value of this property can be changed by other
109 parts of the system (including the kernel). An
110 example would be modifications via the "ifconfig"
111 command line utility.
113 uint16 ScanInterval [readwrite]
115 The scan interval describes the time in seconds
116 between automated scan attempts. Setting this
117 value to 0 will disable the background scanning.
119 The default value is 300 and so every 5 minutes
120 a scan procedure will be triggered.
122 This property is not available with all types
123 of devices. Some might not support background
126 boolean Scanning [readonly]
128 Indicates if a device is scanning. Not all device
129 types might support this. Also some hardware might
130 execute background scanning without notifying the
131 driver about it. Use this property only for visual
134 array{object} Networks [readonly]
136 List of networks objects paths. Every object path
137 represents a network in range or a known network.
