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
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
Signals PropertyChanged(string name, variant value)
This signal indicates a changed value of the given
property.
Properties 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.
