# 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)
`org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Error.UnknownDevice`
  Unknown device. (generic description)
`org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Error.InvalidService`
  Invalid settings service (not a recognized system or user settings service name). (generic description)
`org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Error.ConnectionActivating`
  Another connection is already activating or the same connection is already active. FIXME: check if the error name is correct. FIXME: split into 2 errors?
`org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Error.ConnectionInvalid`
  The connection is invalid for this device.

### DeactivateConnection ( o: active_connection ) → nothing

Deactivate an active connection.

#### Parameters

`active_connection` - `o`
  The currently active connection to deactivate.

### Sleep ( b: sleep ) → nothing

Control the NetworkManager daemon's sleep state. When asleep, all interfaces that it manages are deactivated. When awake, devices are available to be activated. This command should not be called directly by users or clients; it is intended for system suspend/resume tracking.

#### Parameters

`sleep` - `b`
  Indicates whether the NetworkManager daemon should sleep or wake.

### Enable ( b: enable ) → nothing

Control whether overall networking is enabled or disabled. When disabled, all interfaces that NM manages are deactivated. When enabled, all managed interfaces are re-enabled and available to be activated. This command should be used by clients that provide to users the ability to enable/disable all networking.

#### Parameters

`enable` - `b`
  If FALSE, indicates that all networking should be disabled. If TRUE, indicates that NetworkManager should begin managing network devices.

### GetPermissions ( ) → a{ss}

Returns the permissions a caller has for various authenticated operations that NetworkManager provides, like Enable/Disable networking, changing WiFi, WWAN, and WiMAX state, etc.

#### Returns

`permissions` - `a{ss}`
  Dictionary of available permissions and results. Each permission is represented by a name (ie "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Foobar") and each result is one of the following values: "yes" (the permission is available), "auth" (the permission is available after a successful authentication), or "no" (the permission is denied). Clients may use these values in the UI to indicate the ability to perform certain operations.

### SetLogging ( s: level, s: domains ) → nothing

Set logging verbosity and which operations are logged.

#### Parameters

`level` - `s`
  One of [ERR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG].
`domains` - `s`
  A combination of logging domains separated by commas (','), or "NONE" to disable logging. Each domain enables logging for operations related to that domain. Available domains are: [NONE, HW, RFKILL, ETHER, WIFI, BT, MB, DHCP4, DHCP6, PPP, WIFI_SCAN, IP4, IP6, AUTOIP4, DNS, VPN, SHARING, SUPPLICANT, USER_SET, SYS_SET, SUSPEND, CORE, DEVICE, OLPC]

### sleep ( ) → nothing

DEPRECATED. Control the NetworkManager daemon's sleep state. When asleep, all interfaces that it manages are deactivated.

### wake ( ) → nothing

DEPRECATED. Control the NetworkManager daemon's sleep state. When awake, all known interfaces are available to be activated.

### state ( ) → u

DEPRECATED. The overall state of the NetworkManager daemon.

#### Returns

`state` - `u` (NM_STATE)
