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
22 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
23 [service].Error.InvalidProperty
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.
208 boolean PassphraseRequired [readonly]

227 Will be true if a cable is plugged in or the user
228 selected and successfully connected to this service.
230 This value is automatically changed and to revert
231 it back to false the Remove() method needs to be

267 indicates connections to a foreign provider when
270 array{string} Nameservers [readonly]
272 The list of currently active nameservers for this
273 service. If the server is not in READY or ONLINE
274 state than this list will be empty.
276 Global nameservers are automatically added to this
277 list. The array represents a sorted list of the
278 current nameservers. The first one has the highest
279 priority and is used by default.
281 When using DHCP this array represents the nameservers

292 entry in the list represents the nameserver with
293 the highest priority.
295 When using manual configuration and no global
296 nameservers are configured, then it is useful
297 to configure this setting.
299 Changes to the domain name servers can be done
300 at any time. It will not cause a disconnect of
301 the service. However there might be small window
302 where name resolution might fail.

348 string Method [readonly]
350 Possible values are "auto", "manual"

373 has only meaning if Method is set to "auto".
375 Value "disabled" means that privacy extension
376 is disabled and normal autoconf addresses are
379 Value "enabled" means that privacy extension is

410 and WPAD auto-discover methods fails then
411 method will be "direct".
