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.

134 When error occur during connection or disconnection
135 the detailed information is represented in this
136 property to help the user interface to present the
137 user with alternate options.
139 This property is only valid when the service is in
140 the "failure" state. Otherwise it might be empty or
143 Current defined error code is "dhcp-failed".
145 string Name [readonly]
147 The service name (for example "Wireless" etc.)

192 This property indicates that an additional login
193 step, like web based authentication, is needed
194 before the connection establishment can proceed.
196 string Passphrase [readwrite]
198 If the service type is WiFi, then this property
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]
210 If the service type is WiFi, then this property
211 indicates if a passphrase is required.
213 If a passphrase has been set already or if no
214 passphrase is needed, then this property will

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
234 boolean Immutable [readonly]
236 This value will be set to true if the service is
237 configured externally via a configuration file.
239 The only valid operation are Connect() and of
240 course Disconnect(). The Remove() method will
243 boolean AutoConnect [readwrite]
245 If set to true, this service will auto-connect
246 when no other connection is available.
248 The service won't auto-connect while roaming.
250 For favorite services it is possible to change
251 this value to prevent or permit automatic
254 boolean SetupRequired [readonly]
256 If the service is Cellular, then this property
257 indicates that some extra setup steps are required.
259 In most cases it is required to fill in the APN
262 string APN [readwrite]
264 If the service is Cellular, then this property
265 contains the APN details.
267 The APN is network provider specific and even
268 sometimes data plan specific. Possible examples
269 are "isp.cingular" or "internet.t-mobile".
271 boolean Roaming [readonly]
273 This property indicates if this service is roaming.

279 array{string} Nameservers [readonly]
281 The list of currently active nameservers for this
282 service. If the server is not in READY or ONLINE
283 state than this list will be empty.
285 Global nameservers are automatically added to this
286 list. The array represents a sorted list of the
287 current nameservers. The first one has the highest
288 priority and is used by default.
290 When using DHCP this array represents the nameservers
291 provided by the network. In case of manual settings,
292 the ones from Nameservers.Configuration are used.
294 array{string} Nameservers.Configuration [readwrite]
296 The list of manually configured domain name
297 servers. Some 3G networks don't provide correct
298 name servers and this allows for an override.
300 This array is sorted by priority and the first
301 entry in the list represents the nameserver with
302 the highest priority.
304 When using manual configuration and no global
305 nameservers are configured, then it is useful
306 to configure this setting.
308 Changes to the domain name servers can be done
309 at any time. It will not cause a disconnect of
310 the service. However there might be small window
311 where name resolution might fail.

357 string Method [readonly]
359 Possible values are "auto", "manual"

389 dict Proxy [readonly]
391 string Method [readonly]
393 Possible values are "direct", "auto" and
396 In case of "auto" method, the URL file can be

399 and WPAD auto-discover methods fails then
400 method will be "direct".
402 In case of "direct" no additional information
