Device hierarchy ================ Service org.moblin.connman Interface org.moblin.connman.Device Object path [variable prefix]/{device0,device1,...} Methods dict GetProperties() Returns properties for the device object. See the properties section for available properties. Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments void SetProperty(string name, variant value) Changes the value of the specified property. Only properties that are listed as read-write are changeable. On success a PropertyChanged signal will be emitted. Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments [service].Error.DoesNotExist void JoinNetwork(dict network) Join network specified by the given properties. The properties for WiFi networks can be WiFi.SSID, WiFi.Security and WiFi.Passphrase. Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments object CreateNetwork(dict network) Creates a network object from the specified properties. Valid properties are WiFi.SSID, WiFi.Security and WiFi.Passphrase. Check the network interface description for details. Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments void RemoveNetwork(object network) Removes a previously created network object. Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments [service].Error.DoesNotExist void ProposeScan() Proposes to trigger a scan transaction. Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments Signals PropertyChanged(string name, variant value) This signal indicates a changed value of the given property. Properties string Address [readonly] The address of the device. string Name [readonly] The device name (for example "Wireless" etc.) This name can be used for directly displaying it in the application. It has pure informational purpose. string Type [readonly] The device type (for example "ethernet", "wifi" etc.) string Interface [readonly] The device interface (for example "eth0" etc.) This value is for pure informational purposes. It is not guaranteed that it is always present. string Policy [readwrite] Setting of the device power and connection policy. Possible values are "ignore", "off", "auto" and "manual". The policy defines on how the device is initialized when brought up and how it connects. The actual device power state can be changed independently to this value. If a device is switched off and the policy is changed to "auto" or "manual", the device will be switched on. For a current active device changing the policy to "off" results in powering down the device. The "ignore" policy can be set for devices that are detected, but managed by a different entity on the system. For example for complex network setups. Devices that can connect to various networks, the difference between "auto" or "manual" defines if known networks are connected automatically or not. For simple devices like Ethernet cards, setting the "manual" policy might fail. uint8 Priority [readwrite] The device priority. Higher values indicate the preference for this device. boolean Powered [readwrite] Switch a device on or off. This will also modify the list of networks in range. All known networks will be still available via the Networks property. Changing this value doesn't change the value of the Policy property. The value of this property can be changed by other parts of the system (including the kernel). An example would be modifications via the "ifconfig" command line utility. uint16 ScanInterval [readwrite] The scan interval describes the time in seconds between automated scan attempts. Setting this value to 0 will disable the background scanning. The default value is 300 and so every 5 minutes a scan procedure will be triggered. This property is not available with all types of devices. Some might not support background scanning at all. boolean Scanning [readonly] Indicates if a device is scanning. Not all device types might support this. Also some hardware might execute background scanning without notifying the driver about it. Use this property only for visual indication. array{object} Networks [readonly] List of networks objects paths. Every object path represents a network in range or a known network.
