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 void JoinNetwork(dict network)
27 Join network specified by the given properties. The
28 properties for WiFi networks can be WiFi.SSID,
29 WiFi.Security and WiFi.Passphrase.
31 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
33 object CreateNetwork(dict network)
35 Creates a network object from the specified
36 properties. Valid properties are WiFi.SSID,
37 WiFi.Security and WiFi.Passphrase. Check the
38 network interface description for details.
40 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
42 void RemoveNetwork(object network)
44 Removes a previously created network object.
46 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
47 [service].Error.DoesNotExist
51 Proposes to trigger a scan transaction.
53 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
55 Signals PropertyChanged(string name, variant value)
57 This signal indicates a changed value of the given
60 Properties string Address [readonly]
62 The address of the device.
64 string Name [readonly]
66 The device name (for example "Wireless" etc.)
68 This name can be used for directly displaying it in
69 the application. It has pure informational purpose.
71 string Type [readonly]
73 The device type (for example "ethernet", "wifi" etc.)
75 string Interface [readonly]
77 The device interface (for example "eth0" etc.)
79 This value is for pure informational purposes. It
80 is not guaranteed that it is always present.
82 string Policy [readwrite]
84 Setting of the device power and connection policy.
85 Possible values are "ignore", "off", "auto"
88 The policy defines on how the device is initialized
89 when brought up and how it connects. The actual
90 device power state can be changed independently to
93 If a device is switched off and the policy is changed
94 to "auto" or "manual", the device will be switched
95 on. For a current active device changing the policy
96 to "off" results in powering down the device.
98 The "ignore" policy can be set for devices that are
99 detected, but managed by a different entity on the
100 system. For example for complex network setups.
102 Devices that can connect to various networks, the
103 difference between "auto" or "manual" defines if
104 known networks are connected automatically or not.
105 For simple devices like Ethernet cards, setting
106 the "manual" policy might fail.
108 uint8 Priority [readwrite]
110 The device priority. Higher values indicate the
111 preference for this device.
113 boolean Powered [readwrite]
115 Switch a device on or off. This will also modify
116 the list of networks in range. All known networks
117 will be still available via the Networks property.
119 Changing this value doesn't change the value of the
122 The value of this property can be changed by other
123 parts of the system (including the kernel). An
124 example would be modifications via the "ifconfig"
125 command line utility.
127 uint16 ScanInterval [readwrite]
129 The scan interval describes the time in seconds
130 between automated scan attempts. Setting this
131 value to 0 will disable the background scanning.
133 The default value is 300 and so every 5 minutes
134 a scan procedure will be triggered.
136 This property is not available with all types
137 of devices. Some might not support background
140 boolean Scanning [readonly]
142 Indicates if a device is scanning. Not all device
143 types might support this. Also some hardware might
144 execute background scanning without notifying the
145 driver about it. Use this property only for visual
148 array{object} Networks [readonly]
150 List of networks objects paths. Every object path
151 represents a network in range or a known network.
