8 Methods dict GetProperties()
10 Returns properties for the service 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

25 void ClearProperty(string name)
27 Clears the value of the specified property.
29 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
30 [service].Error.InvalidProperty
34 Connect this service. It will attempt to connect
35 WiFi, WiMAX or Bluetooth services.
37 For Ethernet devices this method can only be used
38 if it has previously been disconnected. Otherwise
39 the plugging of a cable will trigger connecting
40 automatically. If no cable is plugged in this method
43 This method call will only return in case of an
44 error or when the service is fully connected. So
45 setting a longer D-Bus timeout might be a really
48 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
52 Disconnect this service. If the service is not
53 connected an error message will be generated.
55 On Ethernet devices this will disconnect the IP
56 details from the service. It will not magically
57 unplug the cable. When no cable is plugged in this
60 This method can also be used to abort a previous
61 connectiong attempt via the Connect method.
63 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
67 A successfully connected service with Favorite=true
68 can be removed this way. If it is connected, it will
69 be automatically disconnected first.
71 If the service requires a passphrase it will be
72 cleared and forgotten when removing.
74 This is similar to setting the Favorite property
75 to false, but that is currently not supported.
77 In the case a connection attempt failed and the
78 service is in the State=failure, this method can
79 also be used to reset the service.
81 Calling this method on Ethernet devices will cause
82 an error message. It is not possible to remove these
85 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
87 void MoveBefore(object service)
89 If a service has been used before, this allows a
90 reorder of the favorite services.
92 The target service object must be part of this
93 profile. Moving between profiles is not supported.
95 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
97 void MoveAfter(object service)
99 If a service has been used before, this allows a
100 reorder of the favorite services.
102 The target service object must be part of this
103 profile. Moving between profiles is not supported.
105 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments

199 can be used to store a passphrase.
201 No PropertyChanged signals will be sent for this
202 property. The PassphraseRequired property should
203 be monitored instead.
205 This property might also not always be included
206 since it is protected by a different security policy.

257 In most cases it is required to fill in the APN
260 string APN [readwrite]
262 If the service is Cellular, then this property
263 contains the APN details.
265 The APN is network provider specific and even
266 sometimes data plan specific. Possible examples

287 array{string} Nameservers [readonly]
289 The list of currently active nameservers for this
290 service. If the server is not in READY or ONLINE
291 state than this list will be empty.
293 Global nameservers are automatically added to this
294 list. The array represents a sorted list of the
295 current nameservers. The first one has the highest
296 priority and is used by default.
298 When using DHCP this array represents the nameservers

300 the ones from Nameservers.Configuration are used.
302 array{string} Nameservers.Configuration [readwrite]
304 The list of manually configured domain name
305 servers. Some 3G networks don't provide correct
306 name servers and this allows for an override.
308 This array is sorted by priority and the first
309 entry in the list represents the nameserver with
310 the highest priority.
312 When using manual configuration and no global
313 nameservers are configured, then it is useful
314 to configure this setting.
316 Changes to the domain name servers can be done
317 at any time. It will not cause a disconnect of
318 the service. However there might be small window
319 where name resolution might fail.

365 string Method [readonly]
367 Possible values are "auto", "manual"

407 and WPAD auto-discover methods fails then
408 method will be "direct".
