Interfaces

org.freedesktop.NetworkManager

Methods:

GetDevices ( ) → ao

Get the list of network devices.

Returns

devices - ao
List of object paths of network devices known to the system.

ActivateConnection ( s: service_name, o: connection, o: device, o: specific_object ) → o

Activate a connection using the supplied device.

Parameters

service_name - s
The D-Bus service name of the settings service that provides this connection.
connection - o
The connection to activate the devices with.
device - o
The object path of device to be activated for physical connections. This parameter is ignored for VPN connections, because the specific_object (if provided) specifies the device to use.
specific_object - o
The path of a connection-type-specific object this activation should use. This parameter is currently ignored for wired and mobile broadband connections, and the value of "/" should be used (ie, no specific object). For WiFi connections, pass the object path of a specific AP from the card's scan list, or "/" to pick and AP automatically. For VPN connections, pass the object path of an ActiveConnection object that should serve as the "base" connection (to which the VPN connections lifetime will be tied), or pass "/" and NM will automatically use the current default device.

Returns

active_connection - o
The path of the active connection object representing this active connection.

Possible errors

org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Error.UnknownConnection
Connection was not provided by any known settings service. (generic description)
