* TODO - new task: proper logging support * info-daemon/NetworkManagerInfo.c - Correct spelling of "canceled" - Correct casting of objects for g_signal_connect() * info-daemon/NetworkManagerInfoDbus.c - Add defines for NetworkManager namespace and object path, and use them - Add filter function to trap new signals from NetworkManager: WirelessNetworkAppeared, WirelessNetworkDisappeared * info-daemon/passphrase.glade - Change name of "ok" button to "Login to Network..." - Mark invisible * src/NetworkManager.c - Code and debug message cleanups - Rename "nm_add_current_devices"->"nm_add_initial_devices" - (nm_add_initial_devices) Check returned string array of devices and don't try to add devices if array is NULL - (main) Initialize libhal a bit later, make code a bit clearer * src/NetworkManagerAP.[ch] - New accessor and data member "matched": used to speed up AP list diffing - New accessor and data member "enc_method": will be used during key fallback to cache which passphrase->key conversion actually works so we don't have to do it every time * src/NetworkManagerAPList.[ch] - (nm_ap_list_find_ap_in_list) New: find an AP by essid in an AP list - (nm_ap_list_diff) New: given two lists of access points, find the differences between them, and send WirelessNetworkAppeared/Disappeared signals over dbus in response to those differences * src/NetworkManagerDbus.[ch] - (nm_dbus_get_object_path_from_ap) New: given a device and an access point, make an object path for that access point (NOTE that we don't yet check to make sure that access point is actually in the device's AP list yet) - (nm_dbus_get_ap_from_object_path) Renamed from nm_dbus_get_network_from_object_path - (nm_dbus_signal_wireless_network_appeared, nm_dbus_signal_wireless_network_disappeared) New: signal appearance/disappearance of wireless networks - (nm_dbus_set_user_key_for_network) Mark the network/ap as invalid if the user cancelled key entry * src/NetworkManagerDevice.[ch] - (nm_device_ap_list_clear) Use nm_ap_list_free rather than doing it ourselves - (nm_device_ap_list_get) New: return the AP list (static function) - (nm_device_do_normal_scan) Destroy old AP list later, so that we can diff the new one resulting from the scan with the old one * src/NetworkManagerWireless.c - (nm_wireless_is_most_prefered_ap) "invalid" access points cannot be "best" access points * test/nminfotest.c - #define object paths and namespaces and use the #defines rather than static strings - Test out user-key functionality of NetworkManagerInfo too git-svn-id: http://svn-archive.gnome.org/svn/NetworkManager/trunk@33 4912f4e0-d625-0410-9fb7-b9a5a253dbdc

There is currently no logic to gracefully recover from a crashed/killed dbus or hal. While we don't depend as heavily on NetworkManagerInfo, we need to make sure that we can operate effectively when it's not there. There are dbus functions for notification when services come up and go away which could be used here. Remeber that when dbus dies, hal also dies at the moment.

- Deal with blank ESSIDs
Access points can be set not to broadcast their ESSIDs, which the client must know. These appear as blank ESSIDs to cards doing wireless scanning, even though the rest of the AP's information is known (channel, rate, etc). There has to be a way to deal with this as many companies do not broadcast ESSIDs for security measures. Workarounds for this practice could include brute-forcing the Allowed Networks list if no suitable wireless network is found to begin with. Obviously, there would be no way to detect if a WEP key was wrong, because unless the ESSID and WEP key are both correct, we cannot associate with the access point to see if we have a link. Code exists to do this for wireless cards that do not support wireless scanning, and this code could be adapted.
