Updated setup.py to pick which initscript to install based on the distro detected.
Updated MANIFEST.in to make sure launchdaemon.sh is included in the sdist build.
Fixed a bunch of crash bugs in tool detection system when tools are detected.
Made tool detection work correctly when "which" returns output if no match is found (as opposed to no output). Eventually we might want to hardcode possible paths instead of using which at all...
Fixed some message formatting in the daemon.
Added some docstrings.
Added a pidfile system for increased initscript compatibility (sort of, it's somewhat incomplete).
Improved debug mode behavior.
Improved the way networking.py interfaces passes attributes on to wnettools.py interfaces.
Fixed crash in __printReturn when a parameter to return wasn't of type 'str'.
Added docstrings to wnettools.py
Fixed wired autoconnect bug due to missing parenthesis on a method call.
Moved connection monitoring code out of daemon.py and into monitor.py, which is run as a separate, child process of daemon.py, to reduce delays in dbus reponse time while connection status and autoreconnect code is running.
Added full support for running the gui without the tray icon using the --no-tray option.
Some minor changes to code to be more readable/efficient/pythonic.
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.
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.
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)
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.
