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 Name [readonly]
48 The device name (for example "Wireless" etc.)
50 This name can be used for directly displaying it in
51 the application. It has pure informational purpose.
53 string Type [readonly]
55 The device type (for example "ethernet", "wifi" etc.)
57 string Interface [readonly]
59 The device interface (for example "eth0" etc.)
61 This value is for pure informational purposes. It
62 is not guaranteed that it is always present.
64 string Policy [readwrite]
66 Setting of the device power and connection policy.
67 Possible values are "ignore", "off", "auto"
70 The policy defines on how the device is initialized
71 when brought up and how it connects. The actual
72 device power state can be changed independently to
75 If a device is switched off and the policy is changed
76 to "auto" or "manual", the device will be switched
77 on. For a current active device changing the policy
78 to "off" results in powering down the device.
80 The "ignore" policy can be set for devices that are
81 detected, but managed by a different entity on the
82 system. For example for complex network setups.
84 Devices that can connect to various networks, the
85 difference between "auto" or "manual" defines if
86 known networks are connected automatically or not.
87 For simple devices like Ethernet cards, setting
88 the "manual" policy might fail.
90 boolean Powered [readwrite]
92 Switch a device on or off. This will also modify
93 the list of networks in range. All known networks
94 will be still available via the Networks property.
96 Changing this value doesn't change the value of the
99 The value of this property can be changed by other
100 parts of the system (including the kernel). An
101 example would be modifications via the "ifconfig"
102 command line utility.
104 boolean Scanning [readonly]
106 Indicates if a device is scanning. Not all device
107 types might support this. Also some hardware might
108 execute background scanning without notifying the
109 driver about it. Use this property only for visual
112 array{object} Networks [readonly]
114 List of networks objects paths. Every object path
115 represents a network in range or a known network.
