   8 Methods         dict GetProperties()  [deprecated]
   9
  10                         Returns properties for the technology object. See
  11                         the properties section for available properties.
  12
  13                         Usage of this method is highly discouraged. Use

  16                         Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
  17
  18                 void SetProperty(string name, variant value)
  19
  20                         Changes the value of the specified property. Only
  21                         properties that are listed as read-write are

  29
  30                         Trigger a scan for this specific technology. The
  31                         method call will return when a scan has been
  32                         finished and results are available.
  33
  34                         Results will be signaled via the ServicesChanged

  42 Properties      boolean Powered [readwrite]
  43
  44                         Boolean representing the power state of the
  45                         technology. False means that the technology is
  46                         off (and is available RF-Killed) while True means
  47                         that the technology is enabled.
  48
  49                 boolean Connected [readonly]
  50
  51                         Boolean representing if a technolgy is connected.
  52
  53                         This is just a convience property for allowing the
  54                         UI to easily show if this technolgy has an active
  55                         connection or not.
  56
  57                         If this property is True it means that at least one

  59
  60                 string Name [readonly]
  61
  62                         Name of this technology.
  63

  77                         through the technology.
  78
  79                 string TetheringIdentifier [readwrite]
  80
  81                         The tethering broadcasted identifier.
  82
  83                         This property is only valid for the WiFi technology,
  84                         and is then mapped to the WiFi AP SSID clients will
