Creates a new #NMSettingWireless object with default values.
Configures AP isolation, which prevents communication between wireless devices connected to this AP. This property can be set to a value different from %NM_TERNARY_DEFAULT only when the interface is configured in AP mode.
If set to %NM_TERNARY_TRUE, devices are not able to communicate with each other. This increases security because it protects devices against attacks from other clients in the network. At the same time, it prevents devices to access resources on the same wireless networks as file shares, printers, etc.
If set to %NM_TERNARY_FALSE, devices can talk to each other.
When set to %NM_TERNARY_DEFAULT, the global default is used; in case the global default is unspecified it is assumed to be %NM_TERNARY_FALSE.
802.11 frequency band of the network. One of "a" for 5GHz 802.11a or "bg" for 2.4GHz 802.11. This will lock associations to the Wi-Fi network to the specific band, i.e. if "a" is specified, the device will not associate with the same network in the 2.4GHz band even if the network's settings are compatible. This setting depends on specific driver capability and may not work with all drivers.
If specified, directs the device to only associate with the given access point. This capability is highly driver dependent and not supported by all devices. Note: this property does not control the BSSID used when creating an Ad-Hoc network and is unlikely to in the future.
Wireless channel to use for the Wi-Fi connection. The device will only join (or create for Ad-Hoc networks) a Wi-Fi network on the specified channel. Because channel numbers overlap between bands, this property also requires the "band" property to be set.
If specified, request that the device use this MAC address instead. This is known as MAC cloning or spoofing.
Beside explicitly specifying a MAC address, the special values "preserve", "permanent", "random" and "stable" are supported. "preserve" means not to touch the MAC address on activation. "permanent" means to use the permanent hardware address of the device. "random" creates a random MAC address on each connect. "stable" creates a hashed MAC address based on connection.stable-id and a machine dependent key.
If unspecified, the value can be overwritten via global defaults, see manual of NetworkManager.conf. If still unspecified, it defaults to "preserve" (older versions of NetworkManager may use a different default value).
On D-Bus, this field is expressed as "assigned-mac-address" or the deprecated "cloned-mac-address".
With #NMSettingWireless:cloned-mac-address setting "random" or "stable", by default all bits of the MAC address are scrambled and a locally-administered, unicast MAC address is created. This property allows to specify that certain bits are fixed. Note that the least significant bit of the first MAC address will always be unset to create a unicast MAC address.
If the property is %NULL, it is eligible to be overwritten by a default connection setting. If the value is still %NULL or an empty string, the default is to create a locally-administered, unicast MAC address.
If the value contains one MAC address, this address is used as mask. The set bits of the mask are to be filled with the current MAC address of the device, while the unset bits are subject to randomization. Setting "FE:FF:FF:00:00:00" means to preserve the OUI of the current MAC address and only randomize the lower 3 bytes using the "random" or "stable" algorithm.
If the value contains one additional MAC address after the mask, this address is used instead of the current MAC address to fill the bits that shall not be randomized. For example, a value of "FE:FF:FF:00:00:00 68:F7:28:00:00:00" will set the OUI of the MAC address to 68:F7:28, while the lower bits are randomized. A value of "02:00:00:00:00:00 00:00:00:00:00:00" will create a fully scrambled globally-administered, burned-in MAC address.
If the value contains more than one additional MAC addresses, one of them is chosen randomly. For example, "02:00:00:00:00:00 00:00:00:00:00:00 02:00:00:00:00:00" will create a fully scrambled MAC address, randomly locally or globally administered.
If %TRUE, indicates that the network is a non-broadcasting network that hides its SSID. This works both in infrastructure and AP mode.
In infrastructure mode, various workarounds are used for a more reliable discovery of hidden networks, such as probe-scanning the SSID. However, these workarounds expose inherent insecurities with hidden SSID networks, and thus hidden SSID networks should be used with caution.
In AP mode, the created network does not broadcast its SSID.
Note that marking the network as hidden may be a privacy issue for you (in infrastructure mode) or client stations (in AP mode), as the explicit probe-scans are distinctly recognizable on the air.
If specified, this connection will only apply to the Wi-Fi device whose permanent MAC address matches. This property does not change the MAC address of the device (i.e. MAC spoofing).
A list of permanent MAC addresses of Wi-Fi devices to which this connection should never apply. Each MAC address should be given in the standard hex-digits-and-colons notation (eg "00:11:22:33:44:55").
One of %NM_SETTING_MAC_RANDOMIZATION_DEFAULT (never randomize unless the user has set a global default to randomize and the supplicant supports randomization), %NM_SETTING_MAC_RANDOMIZATION_NEVER (never randomize the MAC address), or %NM_SETTING_MAC_RANDOMIZATION_ALWAYS (always randomize the MAC address). This property is deprecated for 'cloned-mac-address'.
Wi-Fi network mode; one of "infrastructure", "mesh", "adhoc" or "ap". If blank, infrastructure is assumed.
If non-zero, only transmit packets of the specified size or smaller, breaking larger packets up into multiple Ethernet frames.
The setting's name, which uniquely identifies the setting within the connection. Each setting type has a name unique to that type, for example "ppp" or "802-11-wireless" or "802-3-ethernet".
One of %NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_DISABLE (disable Wi-Fi power saving), %NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_ENABLE (enable Wi-Fi power saving), %NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_IGNORE (don't touch currently configure setting) or %NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_DEFAULT (use the globally configured value). All other values are reserved.
If non-zero, directs the device to only use the specified bitrate for communication with the access point. Units are in Kb/s, ie 5500 = 5.5 Mbit/s. This property is highly driver dependent and not all devices support setting a static bitrate.
A list of BSSIDs (each BSSID formatted as a MAC address like "00:11:22:33:44:55") that have been detected as part of the Wi-Fi network. NetworkManager internally tracks previously seen BSSIDs. The property is only meant for reading and reflects the BSSID list of NetworkManager. The changes you make to this property will not be preserved.
SSID of the Wi-Fi network. Must be specified.
If non-zero, directs the device to use the specified transmit power. Units are dBm. This property is highly driver dependent and not all devices support setting a static transmit power.
The #NMSettingWirelessWakeOnWLan options to enable. Not all devices support all options. May be any combination of %NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_ANY, %NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_DISCONNECT, %NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_MAGIC, %NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_GTK_REKEY_FAILURE, %NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_EAP_IDENTITY_REQUEST, %NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_4WAY_HANDSHAKE, %NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_RFKILL_RELEASE, %NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_TCP or the special values %NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_DEFAULT (to use global settings) and %NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_IGNORE (to disable management of Wake-on-LAN in NetworkManager).
Adds a new MAC address to the #NMSettingWireless:mac-address-blacklist property.

Adds a new Wi-Fi AP's BSSID to the previously seen BSSID list of the setting. NetworkManager now tracks previously seen BSSIDs internally so this function no longer has much use. Actually, changes you make using this function will not be preserved.

Given a #NMSettingWireless and an optional #NMSettingWirelessSecurity, determine if the configuration given by the settings is compatible with the security of an access point using that access point's capability flags and mode. Useful for clients that wish to filter a set of connections against a set of access points and determine which connections are compatible with which access points.

Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property
on target.
Whenever the source_property is changed the target_property is
updated using the same value. For instance:
g_object_bind_property (action, "active", widget, "sensitive", 0);
Will result in the "sensitive" property of the widget #GObject instance to be updated with the same value of the "active" property of the action #GObject instance.
If flags contains %G_BINDING_BIDIRECTIONAL then the binding will be mutual:
if target_property on target changes then the source_property on source
will be updated as well.
The binding will automatically be removed when either the source or the
target instances are finalized. To remove the binding without affecting the
source and the target you can just call g_object_unref() on the returned
#GBinding instance.
Removing the binding by calling g_object_unref() on it must only be done if
the binding, source and target are only used from a single thread and it
is clear that both source and target outlive the binding. Especially it
is not safe to rely on this if the binding, source or target can be
finalized from different threads. Keep another reference to the binding and
use g_binding_unbind() instead to be on the safe side.

This function is intended for #GObject implementations to re-enforce a [floating][floating-ref] object reference. Doing this is seldom required: all #GInitiallyUnowneds are created with a floating reference which usually just needs to be sunken by calling g_object_ref_sink().
Increases the freeze count on object. If the freeze count is
non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on object is
stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased
to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one
#GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property modified while the
object is frozen.
This is necessary for accessors that modify multiple properties to prevent premature notification while the object is still being modified.

Checks whether object has a [floating][floating-ref] reference.
Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.
When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.
Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.
the name of a property installed on the class of object.
Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by pspec on object.
This function omits the property name lookup, hence it is faster than g_object_notify().
One way to avoid using g_object_notify() from within the class that registered the properties, and using g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead, is to store the GParamSpec used with g_object_class_install_property() inside a static array, e.g.:
enum
{
PROP_0,
PROP_FOO,
PROP_LAST
};
static GParamSpec *properties[PROP_LAST];
static void
my_object_class_init (MyObjectClass *klass)
{
properties[PROP_FOO] = g_param_spec_int ("foo", "Foo", "The foo",
0, 100,
50,
G_PARAM_READWRITE);
g_object_class_install_property (gobject_class,
PROP_FOO,
properties[PROP_FOO]);
}
and then notify a change on the "foo" property with:
g_object_notify_by_pspec (self, properties[PROP_FOO]);
the #GParamSpec of a property installed on the class of object.
Gives the name of all set options.
If variant is %NULL, this clears the option if it is set.
Otherwise, variant is set as the option. If variant is
a floating reference, it will be consumed.
Note that not all setting types support options. It is a bug setting a variant to a setting that doesn't support it. Currently, only #NMSettingEthtool supports it.

Increase the reference count of object, and possibly remove the
[floating][floating-ref] reference, if object has a floating reference.
In other words, if the object is floating, then this call "assumes ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal reference by clearing the floating flag while leaving the reference count unchanged. If the object is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the reference count by one.
Since GLib 2.56, the type of object will be propagated to the return type
under the same conditions as for g_object_ref().

Releases all references to other objects. This can be used to break reference cycles.
This function should only be called from object system implementations.
Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association.
If the object already had an association with that name, the old association will be destroyed.
Internally, the key is converted to a #GQuark using g_quark_from_string().
This means a copy of key is kept permanently (even after object has been
finalized) — so it is recommended to only use a small, bounded set of values
for key in your program, to avoid the #GQuark storage growing unbounded.

This function gets back user data pointers stored via
g_object_set_qdata() and removes the data from object
without invoking its destroy() function (if any was
set).
Usually, calling this function is only required to update
user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example:
void
object_add_to_user_list (GObject *object,
const gchar *new_string)
{
// the quark, naming the object data
GQuark quark_string_list = g_quark_from_static_string ("my-string-list");
// retrieve the old string list
GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);
// prepend new string
list = g_list_prepend (list, g_strdup (new_string));
// this changed 'list', so we need to set it again
g_object_set_qdata_full (object, quark_string_list, list, free_string_list);
}
static void
free_string_list (gpointer data)
{
GList *node, *list = data;
for (node = list; node; node = node->next)
g_free (node->data);
g_list_free (list);
}
Using g_object_get_qdata() in the above example, instead of g_object_steal_qdata() would have left the destroy function set, and thus the partial string list would have been freed upon g_object_set_qdata_full().
A #GQuark, naming the user data pointer
Reverts the effect of a previous call to
g_object_freeze_notify(). The freeze count is decreased on object
and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted.
Duplicate notifications for each property are squashed so that at most one #GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property, in the reverse order in which they have been queued.
It is an error to call this function when the freeze count is zero.
Convert the setting (including secrets!) into a string. For debugging purposes ONLY, should NOT be used for serialization of the setting, or machine-parsed in any way. The output format is not guaranteed to be stable and may change at any time.
Decreases the reference count of object. When its reference count
drops to 0, the object is finalized (i.e. its memory is freed).
If the pointer to the #GObject may be reused in future (for example, if it is an instance variable of another object), it is recommended to clear the pointer to %NULL rather than retain a dangling pointer to a potentially invalid #GObject instance. Use g_clear_object() for this.
Validates the setting. Each setting's properties have allowed values, and
some are dependent on other values (hence the need for connection). The
returned #GError contains information about which property of the setting
failed validation, and in what way that property failed validation.
the #NMConnection that setting came from, or %NULL if setting is being verified in isolation.
Verifies the secrets in the setting. The returned #GError contains information about which secret of the setting failed validation, and in what way that secret failed validation. The secret validation is done separately from main setting validation, because in some cases connection failure is not desired just for the secrets.
the #NMConnection that setting came from, or %NULL if setting is being verified in isolation.
This function essentially limits the life time of the closure to
the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized,
the closure is invalidated by calling g_closure_invalidate() on
it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized
(nonexisting) object. Also, g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are
added as marshal guards to the closure, to ensure that an extra
reference count is held on object during invocation of the
closure. Usually, this function will be called on closures that
use this object as closure data.

name of a property to look up.
Add a property to an interface; this is only useful for interfaces that are added to GObject-derived types. Adding a property to an interface forces all objects classes with that interface to have a compatible property. The compatible property could be a newly created #GParamSpec, but normally g_object_class_override_property() will be used so that the object class only needs to provide an implementation and inherits the property description, default value, bounds, and so forth from the interface property.
This function is meant to be called from the interface's default
vtable initialization function (the class_init member of
#GTypeInfo.) It must not be called after after class_init has
been called for any object types implementing this interface.
