The graphical shell may open a sandboxed web browser window (because the captive portals typically attempt a man-in-the-middle attacks against the https connections) for the purpose of authenticating to a gateway and retrigger the connectivity check with CheckConnectivity() when the browser window is dismissed.

class NM.Metered(value)

Bases: GObject.GEnum

The NM.Metered enum has two different purposes: one is to configure “connection.metered” setting of a connection profile in NM.SettingConnection, and the other is to express the actual metered state of the NM.Device at a given moment.

For the connection profile only NM.Metered.UNKNOWN, NM.Metered.NO and NM.Metered.YES are allowed.

The device’s metered state at runtime is determined by the profile which is currently active. If the profile explicitly specifies NM.Metered.NO or NM.Metered.YES, then the device’s metered state is as such. If the connection profile leaves it undecided at NM.Metered.UNKNOWN (the default), then NetworkManager tries to guess the metered state, for example based on the device type or on DHCP options (like Android devices exposing a “ANDROID_METERED” DHCP vendor option). This then leads to either NM.Metered.GUESS_NO or NM.Metered.GUESS_YES.

Most applications probably should treat the runtime state NM.Metered.GUESS_YES like NM.Metered.YES, and all other states as not metered.

Note that the per-device metered states are then combined to a global metered state. This is basically the metered state of the device with the best default route. However, that generalization of a global metered state may not be correct if the default routes for IPv4 and IPv6 are on different devices, or if policy routing is configured. In general, the global metered state tries to express whether the traffic is likely metered, but since that depends on the traffic itself, there is not one answer in all cases. Hence, an application may want to consider the per-device’s metered states.

New in version 1.2.

UNKNOWN = 0

The metered status is unknown

YES = 1

Client APIs such as nm_client_activate_connection() will not see these error codes; instead, the secret agent manager will translate them to the corresponding NM.AgentManagerError codes.

if this flag is set, NM.Setting.diff() and nm_connection_diff() will not include properties that are set to their default value. This is the opposite of NM.SettingCompareFlags.DIFF_RESULT_WITH_DEFAULT. If both flags are set together, NM.SettingCompareFlags.DIFF_RESULT_WITH_DEFAULT wins. If both flags are unset, this means to exclude default properties if there is a setting to compare, but include all properties, if the setting ‘b’ is missing. This is the legacy behaviour of libnm-util, where NM.Setting.diff() behaved differently depending on whether the setting ‘b’ was available. If NM.SettingCompareFlags.DIFF_RESULT_WITH_DEFAULT is set, NM.Setting.diff() will also set the flags NM.SettingDiffResult.IN_A_DEFAULT and NM.SettingDiffResult.IN_B_DEFAULT, if the values are default values.

The NM.WepKeyType values specify how any WEP keys present in the setting are interpreted. There are no standards governing how to hash the various WEP key/passphrase formats into the actual WEP key. Unfortunately some WEP keys can be interpreted in multiple ways, requiring the setting to specify how to interpret the any WEP keys. For example, the key “732f2d712e4a394a375d366931” is both a valid Hexadecimal WEP key and a WEP passphrase. Further, many ASCII keys are also valid WEP passphrases, but since passphrases and ASCII keys are hashed differently to determine the actual WEP key the type must be specified.

PASSPHRASE = 2

indicates a WEP passphrase (ex “I bought a duck on my way back from the market 235Q&^%^*%”) instead of a hexadecimal or ASCII key. Passphrases are between 8 and 64 characters inclusive and are hashed the actual WEP key using the MD5 hash algorithm.
