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 object CreateNetwork(dict network)
27 Creates a network object from the specified
28 properties. Valid properties are WiFi.SSID,
29 WiFi.Security and WiFi.Passphrase. Check the
30 network interface description for details.
32 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
34 void RemoveNetwork(object network)
36 Removes a previously created network object.
38 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
39 [service].Error.DoesNotExist
41 Signals PropertyChanged(string name, variant value)
43 This signal indicates a changed value of the given
46 Properties string Name [readonly]
48 The device name (for example "Wireless" etc.)
50 This name can be used for directly displaying it in
51 the application. It has pure informational purpose.
53 string Type [readonly]
55 The device type (for example "ethernet", "wifi" etc.)
57 string Interface [readonly]
59 The device interface (for example "eth0" etc.)
61 This value is for pure informational purposes. It
62 is not guaranteed that it is always present.
64 string Policy [readwrite]
66 Setting of the device power and connection policy.
67 Possible values are "ignore", "off", "auto"
70 The policy defines on how the device is initialized
71 when brought up and how it connects. The actual
72 device power state can be changed independently to
75 If a device is switched off and the policy is changed
76 to "auto" or "manual", the device will be switched
77 on. For a current active device changing the policy
78 to "off" results in powering down the device.
80 The "ignore" policy can be set for devices that are
81 detected, but managed by a different entity on the
82 system. For example for complex network setups.
84 Devices that can connect to various networks, the
85 difference between "auto" or "manual" defines if
86 known networks are connected automatically or not.
87 For simple devices like Ethernet cards, setting
88 the "manual" policy might fail.
90 uint8 Priority [readwrite]
92 The device priority. Higher values indicate the
93 preference for this device.
95 boolean Powered [readwrite]
97 Switch a device on or off. This will also modify
98 the list of networks in range. All known networks
99 will be still available via the Networks property.
101 Changing this value doesn't change the value of the
104 The value of this property can be changed by other
105 parts of the system (including the kernel). An
106 example would be modifications via the "ifconfig"
107 command line utility.
109 uint16 ScanInterval [readwrite]
111 The scan interval describes the time in seconds
112 between automated scan attempts. Setting this
113 value to 0 will disable the background scanning.
115 The default value is 300 and so every 5 minutes
116 a scan procedure will be triggered.
118 This property is not available with all types
119 of devices. Some might not support background
122 boolean Scanning [readonly]
124 Indicates if a device is scanning. Not all device
125 types might support this. Also some hardware might
126 execute background scanning without notifying the
127 driver about it. Use this property only for visual
130 array{object} Networks [readonly]
132 List of networks objects paths. Every object path
133 represents a network in range or a known network.
