Refactored networking.py to not have to create a new wnettools interface every time a method gets called. Now it reuses the same one and makes changes to the iface name/driver as needed.
Refactored a few methods in wnettools.py to be organized more logically and reduce external program calls.
In experimental branch, added a few methods to networking/wnettools that can be used for enabling/disabling interfaces, as well as unloading/loading the driver associated with an interface.
Added a check for mii-tool/ethtool that gets run when wicd starts, so it can decide which to use to check for a wired connection.
Added a check for ip, to decide how to flush the routing tables.
Rewrote some of the DHCP client checking code.
Added a method (that's currently unused) to release a dhcp lease for each of the supported clients.
Added check when DHCP is run to determine what DHCP clients are available.
Fixed bug where sometimes wicd wouldn't reconnect automatically when a wired connection was lost.
Cleaned up a couple of comments.
Cleaned up formatting in gui.py.
Made glade template for preferences dialog and rewrote gui.py to use it instead of creating it explictly in the code.
Fixed a bunch indentation/whitespace problems.
Cleaned up a ton of formatting in daemon.py
Fixed a wired autoconnect bug.
Rewrote part of the connection monitoring code, further minimizing the number of external program calls, as well as number of dbus calls.
Added StatusInformation methods to daemon.py, to allow external apps to poll for the current connection status without making several dbus calls.
Fixed bad function call to GetDBMSignalStrength in daemon.py.
Fixed the wired autoconnect profile chooser, which was badly broken.
Added a check to GetPluggedIn() that makes sure that the wired interface is up before checking. If it's not, it tries to put it up. This is necessary because ethtool doesn't make this check for us, as mii-tool did.
- Reworked GUI: Moved script button next to connect button, reduced size of both buttons, moved advanced settings from an expander to a dialog and put an advanced settings button next to scripts/connect buttons.
- When a wireless network has encryption enabled, "Secured" will no longer show up in the info for the network unless the encryption type can't be determined.
- Added support for detecting kill switch status (thanks to webograph for the inital patch).
- Reduced the number of calls to iwconfig during connection status updates (it is only called once per update now), which should lower cpu usage.
- Moved Autoreconnect methods from the wireless dbus service to the daemon dbus service.
- Added "Validating Authentication" status message during wireless connection process.
- Added support for disabling monitoring of connection status when computer is suspended, which gets rid of some error messages, eliminates occasional suspension failure, and reduces the odds that wicd will auto connect to a wireless network when a wired network is available. (Right now this feature is disabled, as it requires a script in /etc/acpi/suspend.d/, which can't be included with the current SVN layout.)
The output of dhclient is now parsed by wicd and used to determine why the connection failed.
All the wpa_supplicant conf files will now generate a ctrl_interface, so that they can be accessed by wpa_cli. wpa_cli now is used by wicd to attempt to determine is wpa_supplicant authentication was successful. This is still experimental, and might have to be tweaked to work properly.
If wicd.py is started and the daemon isn't present, it will autolaunch it by calling launchdaemon.sh, instead of asking the user to start the daemon manually.
Cleaned up some comments, formatting, etc.
Probably a couple of other little bug fixes I'm forgetting.
Possibly fixed problems with scripts not running when they should and/or leaving zombies.
Slightly reworked the GUI to make the new script system look nicer.
Removed the ability to set script information through built in daemon functions, it now has to be done by directly editing configuration files (which require root access to read/write).
Specify which network is being connected to in both the tray tooltip and gui statusbar
Clean up code in wicd.py.
Refactor Edgy/DapperTrayIcon class names to something less Ubuntu-specific.
Fix typo in EggTrayIcon that would keep gui from opening.
Stopped the gui status bar from updating while the gui is closed, which reduces CPU usage and should hopefully fix problems with hibernation not working while wicd was running.
* Added a connection_lost_counter to prevent the wicd frontend from trying to automatically reconnect too quickly if signal strength is briefly lost.
* Added some code to hopefully fix some of the dbus-related encoding problems caused by essids with weird characters. (Might still need work).
* The tray/gui will now show up in the process manager under the name wicd (along with the wicd icon), instead of just python.
* Added a GetCurrentInterface() method to the daemon that will eventually be used in the VPN plugin.
* Fixed a possible crash caused by signal strength not being returned correctly.
* Split the Wired Profile Chooser from the appGui class, so they are now called separately within wicd.py. When the profile chooser is called from the daemon, it sets a flag as well as sending a dbus signal, so the chooser will still launch if the wicd frontend isn't running yet.
* Added some docstrings, comments, etc. Probably a few other small changes I'm forgetting.
Added a "Connecting..." dialog to tray icon in experimental branch
Possibly fixed issue where GUI statusbar would still show up as connected when ethernet cable was unplugged.
Changed the way wired profile chooser gets launched (now uses a dbus signal)
Fixed bug where launching gui.py through the tray sometimes left a zombie (uses a dbus signal)
Added a bunch of docstrings and changed formatting to follow python conventions
Added support for displaying signal strength in dBm instead of a percentage
Added some print statements during the ad-hoc connection process
Started work on a way to autoconnect to a hidden network (not done or working yet)
wnettools.py: DetectWirelessInterfaces() didn't return the wireless interface
daemon.py: GetGlobalDNSAddresses() now returns a blank string instead of None for blank addresses; None could not be sent over dbus
By splitting the common tasks performed by the networking module out
into a separate set of classes, it is possible to reduce code
duplication and improve the structure of the networking module.
The wnettools module now performs _almost_ all the actual commands that
control the network interfaces, splitting it from the actual connection
logic contained in the networking module. Splitting these two tasks also
allows for tool changes to be made in a central location, rather than
spread throughout the networking.py file.
Fixed typo in the wpa_supplicant string in networking.py.
Changed formatting in dapper.py, edgy.py, and networking.py to conform closer to python coding conventions (and hopefully improve readability in general)
Move the old module code in daemon.py into a main() function, splitting
off the daemonization into daemonize() function. Also add correct
parsing of command line arguments to allow disabling of stderr and
stdout redirection, daemonizing and auto-connect.
Tidy up start of file including correct GPL license pre-amble and a
short description of the wicd daemon module.
FlushWriter looped through all the characters provided, writing them one
at a time. This is not strictly necessary, so modify the algorithm to
use a smart substitution and keep the timestamps correct. Name change to
better match its behaviour.
Removed autostarting daemon code so that script execution would work properly.
Added channel display support for cards that only get frequency info in 'iwlist scan'.
Changed autoconnect behavior to fix a bug where dbus would crash if connecting was taking too long.
Changed/added some comments.
