Methods		dict GetProperties()

			Returns properties for the device object. See
			the properties section for available properties.

		void SetProperty(string name, variant value)

			Changes the value of the specified property. Only
			properties that are listed as read-write are
			changeable. On success a PropertyChanged signal
			will be emitted.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
					 [service].Error.InvalidProperty

		void ClearProperty(string name)

			Reset the specified parameter to its "factory"
			value and remove any previously set value from
			the profile. Only properties that are listed as
			read-write are changeable.

		void Enable()

			Enable the device.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.PermissionDenied

		void Disable()

			Disable the device.

		void RequirePin(string pin, boolean require)

			(Cellular only) Enable or disable PIN protection for
			a cellular modem's SIM card. If 'require' is true,
			then a PIN will need to be supplied (by calling
			EnterPin) before the modem is usable. If 'require'
			is false, a PIN will not be required.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
					 [service].Error.NotImplemented
					 [service].Error.PinError

			In the case of PinError, the error message gives
			more detail: [interface].PinRequired
				     [interface].PinBlocked
				     [interface].IncorrectPin

		void EnterPin(string pin)

			(Cellular only) Provide a PIN to unlock a SIM card.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
					 [service].Error.NotImplemented
					 [service].Error.PinError

			In the case of PinError, the error message gives
			more detail: [interface].PinRequired
				     [interface].PinBlocked
				     [interface].IncorrectPin

		void UnblockPin(string puk, string pin)

			(Cellular only) Provide a PUK code to unblock a PIN.
			When an incorrect PIN has been entered too many times
			(three is generally the number of tries allowed), the
			PIN becomes "blocked", and the SIM card can only be
			unlocked by providing a PUK code provided by the
			carrier. At the same time, a new PIN must be specified.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
					 [service].Error.NotImplemented
					 [service].Error.PinError

			In the case of PinError, the error message gives
			more detail: [interface].PinRequired
				     [interface].PinBlocked
				     [interface].IncorrectPin

		void ChangePin(string old_pin, string new_pin)

			(Cellular only) Change the PIN used to unlock a SIM
			card. The existing PIN must be provided along with
			the new PIN.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
					 [service].Error.NotImplemented
					 [service].Error.PinError

			In the case of PinError, the error message gives
			more detail: [interface].PinRequired
				     [interface].PinBlocked
				     [interface].IncorrectPin

		void Register(string network_id)

			(Cellular only) Initiate registration on the network
			specified by network_id, which is in the form MCCMNC.
			If the network ID is the empty string, then switch
			back to automatic registration mode before initiating
			registration.

			If registration succeeds, the network_id is remembered,
			and is saved in the profile, so that the same network
			will be tried again if the modem is disabled and then
			re-enabled, or if the system is restarted or resumed.

			If registration fails, the network_id is not
			remembered, and is not saved in the profile. If it was
			already in the profile, it is deleted. In addtion, one
			more attempt is made to register, after switching back
			to automatic registration mode.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.NotImplemented
			   		 [service].Error.IllegalOperation

		void RenewDHCPLease()

			Request the renewal of all DHCPv4 leases.

		void Reset()

			Reset the device. The implementation is device-
			dependent. In some cases, the device and its associated
			service(s) may be destroyed after the physical device
			is reset. In such case, a new device is expected to be
			created after the physical device reappears on the
			system. Currently, device reset is only supported by
			cellular devices managed by ModemManager.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.Failure
					 [service].Error.NotImplemented

		void SetUsbEthernetMacAddressSource(string source)

			(Ethernet only) Set MAC address source for USB Ethernet
			adapter. The |source| parameter should be one of the
			following:

				"designated_dock_mac" : Computer's designated dock MAC
							address.

		boolean Cellular.ProviderRequiresRoaming [readonly]

			(Celluar only) Indicates that the cellular
			provider (determined based on IMSI and SPN)
			requires roaming.  This is important to
			certain MVNOs which have no home network and
			wish to provide network services without
			regard to the Cellular.AllowRoaming setting.

		boolean Cellular.PolicyAllowRoaming [readwrite]

			(Cellular only) Whether cellular data connections
			are allowed when the device is roaming (i.e,
			not registered on the home network). When this
			property is false, data connections are not
			allowed while roaming (regardless of the AutoConnect,
			or roaming setting of associated services).

			If a connection was established while on the home
			network, and the device begins roaming, the data
			connection is terminated.

			If the property is true, and a data connection was
			established while roaming, and then the property is
			set to false, the connection is terminated.

			If the Cellular.ProviderRequiresRoaming property
			is true, that setting will override this property's
			setting.

			By default Cellular.PolicyAllowRoaming is true.

		dict Cellular.SIMLockStatus [readonly]

			(Cellular only) For GSM modems, a dictionary
			containing two properties describing the state
			of the SIM card lock. The two properties are:

			string LockType

				If this string is empty, the SIM card is not
				PIN-locked. Otherwise, it specifies the type
				of lock in effect: "sim-pin", "sim-puk", "sim-puk2" or
				one of the modem personalization locks:
					"network-pin", "network-puk",
					"service-provider-pin", "service-provider-puk",
					"dedicated-sim",
					"corporate-pin", "corporate-puk",
					"network-subset-pin", "network-subset-puk".
				Active personalization lock means the SIM card is
				incompatible with modem configuration.

			int32 RetriesLeft

				If LockType is empty or is "sim-pin", then
				this property gives the number of attempts
				remaining to supply a correct PIN before the
				PIN becomes blocked, at which point a PUK
				provided by the carrier would be necessary
				to unlock the SIM (and the LockType changes to
				"sim-puk").

				If LockType is "sim-puk", then this property
				gives the number of attempts remaining to supply
				a correct PUK before the SIM card becomes
				permanently locked, at which point the SIM
				card must be replaced. This state is indicated
				when LockType is "sim-puk" and RetriesLeft is
				zero.

				For other values of LockType, this property gives the
				number of attempts remaining to supply a correct PIN or
				PUK before the modem becomes blocked.

			boolean LockEnabled

				Indicates whether SIM locking is enabled,
				i.e., whether, when the device is powered
				on, a PIN or PUK will need to be entered to
				unlock the SIM. This differs from the
				LockType property, which indicates whether
				the device is currently waiting for a PIN
				to be entered. The SIM can currently be
				unlocked (LockType is ""), but at the same
				time locking can be enabled (LockEnabled is
				True).

		boolean Cellular.SIMPresent [readonly]

			(Cellular only) For GSM or LTE modems, indicates
			whether a SIM card is present or not.

		array{dict} Cellular.SIMSlotInfo [readonly]

			(Cellular only) List of available SIM slots with the
			following properties for each dictionary entry.
			The dictionaries are ordered by SIM slot starting at 0.

			string EID

				For eSIM capable SIM cards only, the EID of
				the SIM Card. Only available when a profile is
				active (i.e. ICCID is not empty).

			string ICCID

				The ICCID of the active SIM profile if any.

			boolean Primary

				true if the slot is primary (active).

		boolean Cellular.UseAttachAPN [readwrite]

			(Cellular only) Whether shill should explicitly
			set in the modem the desired 'attach APN' before
			registering to the network by using the data from
			the mobile operator database. When this property is
			false, the modem will use its own internal database
			or get the value from the network.

			If the property is set true, and a data connection was
			already established, the connection will be first
			terminated.

			By default Cellular.UseAttachAPN is false.

		array{dict} Cellular.FoundNetworks [readonly] [GSM only]

			(Cellular only) The result of the most recent
			scan operation. The property is an array
			of dictionaries, with each (string, string) entry
			from the following properties:

			"status"     The availability of the network. Values
				     are "unknown", "available", "current",
				     and "forbidden".
			"network_id" The network id in the form MCC/MNC
				     (without the '/')
			"short_name" Short-format name of the network operator
			"long_name"  Long-format name of the network operator
			"technology" Access technology used by the network, e.g.
				     "GSM", "UMTS", "EDGE", "HSPA", etc.

		array{dict} Cellular.APNList [readonly] [GSM only]

			(Cellular only) The list of APNs associated with
			the home provider (ref. Cellular.HomeProvider property)
			The property is an array of dictionaries, with each
			(string, string) entry from the following properties:

			"apn"        The APN, to be used when making
				     connections.
			"username"   The username to be passed along with the
				     APN when making connections. This property
				     is present only if a username is required.
			"password"   The password to be passed along with the
				     APN when making connections. This property
				     is present only if a password is required.
			"name"       Optional description of the APN, not localized.
			"localized_name"
				     Optional description of the APN, localized.
			"language"
				     If the "localized_name" property is present, this
				     gives the two-letter language code for the locale
				     of the localized name. If "localized_name" exists,
				     then this property will always exist as well.
			"network_id" The MCCMNC of this network.
			"authentication"
				     Authentication method for sending the username and
				     password. If it is non-empty, it is either "PAP" or
				     "CHAP".
			"attach"     Whether or not this APN is an attach APN.
			"ip_type"    Either "ipv4", "ipv6", or "ipv4v6", which
				     specifies which version of IP we should get
				     addresses for when using this APN. The latter
				     specifies dual-stack operation.

		bool EapAuthenticatorDetected [readonly]

			(Ethernet only) Indicates whether an EAP (802.1X)
			authenticator has been detected on this link.
			This may mean that EAP credentials are necessary
			to gain full access to this network.

		bool EapAuthenticationCompleted [readonly]

			(Ethernet only) Indicates whether an EAP (802.1X)
			authentication is currently valid on this interface.

		bool Ethernet.LinkUp [readonly]

			(Ethernet only) Indicates whether the underlying
			device has detected the presence of a physical link.

		string Ethernet.DeviceBusType [readonly]

			(Ethernet only) Device bus type. Possible values are
			"pci", "usb" and "". Equals to "" only in the error
			case.

		string Ethernet.UsbAdapterMacAddressSource [readonly]

			(Ethernet only) MAC address source for USB Ethernet
			adapter. Possible values are "designated_dock_mac",
			"builtin_adapter_mac", "usb_adapter_mac" and "".
			Equals to "" only if unset.

		bool Inhibited [readwrite]

			(Cellular only) When set to true, Shill will not switch
			slots or attempt to connect to Cellular. Any pending
			Cellular connect requests will be cancelled when the
			Inhibited state changes.

		string Interface [readonly]

			The Device's interface name (for example "eth0").

		object SelectedService [readonly]

			Object path of the currently selected service path.
			The selected service of a device is the service for
			which it is currently receiving link events.  WiFi
			is slightly different in that it sets the link event
			immediately after requesting a connection so that
			failures to connect are correctly attributed.

			The device guarantees that if it is connected, the
			connected service will appear in SelectedService.
			However, SelectedService could be just "/", indicating
			no selected service.  The SelectedService is also
			not guaranteed to be online (e.g. it could be in the
			process of being connected, or an error state).

		array{object} IPConfigs [readonly]

			List of IPConfig objects paths. Every object path
			represents a Layer 3 configuration record for
			the device.  In shill, for a connected device,
			the IPv4 configuration is represented in the
			first object path in this array.  This object is also
			referenced in the the "IPConfig" property of the
			connected Service.  If the kernel has assigned a
			globally scoped IPv6 address to this interface, it
			is reported as an additional object path in this
			array.

			Whenever either the IPv4 or IPv6 state changes
			in a way that modifies the contents of either of
			these IPConfigs, a PropertyChanged signal will be
			emitted for the Device's IPConfig property.

		dict LinkStatistics [readonly]

			(WiFi only) A dictionary providing current link
			statitistics.  This can include the following
			properties, depending on whether the system is
			connected and the capabilities of the specific
			WiFi device.

				int8 AverageReceiveSignalDbm

				Reports the running average of signal
				strength to the connected AP.

				uint32 InactiveTimeMilliseconds

				Reports the time in milliseconds since
				the last activity by the station.

				packets.

				uint32 PacketTransmitFailures

				Reports the number of failed packet
				transmission attempts.

				uint32 PacketTrasmitSuccesses

				Reports the number of successful packet
				transmission attempts.

				string TransmitBitrate

				Reports the transmit bitrate of the last
				successful outbound packet in a textual format
				which includes additional 802.11n transmit
				parameters.

				uint32 TransmitRetries

				Reports the number of times the system has had
				to retry an outgoing packet.


		boolean MacAddressRandomization

			Deprecated; see MacAddressRandomizationEnabled.

		boolean MacAddressRandomizationSupported[readonly]

			True if the device supports randomizing its MAC address
			during scans when not connected to any APs already.

		boolean MacAddressRandomizationEnabled

			Indicates whether the device is currently configured to
			randomize its MAC address during scans while not already
			connected to any APs. Setting this value will configure
			the device to act appropriately.

			This was formerly named MacAddressRandomization;
			users of shill should use this property now.

			Possible errors : [service].Error.NotSupported

		string Name[readonly]

			Deprecated; use Interface instead.

		boolean Powered [readonly]

			Indicates whether the device is on or off.

			This value does not influence the value of the
			Policy property.

			The value of this property can be changed by other
			parts of the system (including the kernel). An
			example would be modifications via the "ifconfig"
			command line utility.

		uint16 ScanInterval [readwrite]

			(Defined in WiFi and Cellular)

			The scan interval is the time in seconds between
			automated scan attempts. Setting this value to
			0 will disable the periodic scanning.

			The default value is 180 and so every 3 minutes
			a scan procedure will be triggered.

			This property is not available with all types
			of devices. Some may not support background
			scanning at all.

		boolean Scanning [readonly]

			(Defined in WiFi and Cellular)

			Indicates that a device is currently performing a
			network scan.

		string Type [readonly]

			The device type (for example "ethernet", "wifi" etc.)

		boolean WakeOnWiFiSupported [readonly]

			(Defined in WiFi)

			Whether wake on WiFi feature is supported in shill.

		boolean WakeOnWiFiAllowed [readwrite]

			(Defined in WiFi)

			Whether wake on WiFi feature is allowed. When false,
			WakeOnWiFiFeaturesEnabled cannot be modified and is
			pinned to "none". The value is controlled by a feature
			flag in Chrome. Should only be modified by Chrome
			feature flag or tests.

		string WakeOnWiFiFeaturesEnabled [readwrite]

			(Defined in WiFi)

			The wake on WiFi features that are currently enabled.
			The value of this property is "darkconnect" if the dark
			connect feature is enabled, and "none" if all wake on
			WiFi features are disabled.

			Possible errors: [service].Error.NotSupported (wake on WiFi not supported)
					 [service].Error.InvalidArguments (invalid wake on WiFi feature)

		string LastWakeReason [readonly]

			(Defined in WiFi)

			The reason of the last wake up.
			Possible values of this property:
				"WiFi.Disconnect": woke up by NL80211_WOWLAN_TRIG_DISCONNECT
				"WiFi.Pattern":    woke up by NL80211_WOWLAN_TRIG_PKT_PATTERN
				"WiFi.SSID":       woke up by NL80211_WOWLAN_TRIG_NET_DETECT_RESULTS
				"Unknown":         woke up by other reasons e.g. timer

		uint32 WakeToScanPeriodSeconds [readwrite]

			(Defined in WiFi)

			The length of time (in seconds) between each instance where the system
			is woken from suspend to scan for networks in dark resume. Changes to this
			property will take effect at the next system suspend.

		uint32 NetDetectScanPeriodSeconds [readwrite]

			(Defined in WiFi)

			The length of time (in seconds) between each instance where the wireless
			NIC performs Net Detect scans while the system is suspended. Changes to
			this property will take effect at the next system suspend.

		boolean ForceWakeToScanTimer [readwrite]

			(Defined in WiFi)

			If true, forces shill to start an RTC timer that wakes the system
			periodically to scan for networks if the system is going into suspend
			while disconnected. This will likely be used for testing only. Otherwise,
			if this property is false, shill will only start this timer if it has more
			SSIDs to allow than the NIC supports for net detect. Changes to this
			property will take effect at the next system suspend.

		boolean PasspointInterworkingSelectEnabled

			(Defined in WiFi)

			Indicates whether the device is allowed to match the set of Passpoint
			credentials with compatible access points. Setting this value will enable
			or disable the feature. The value is not persisted across reboots and will
			be removed or flipped when Passpoint gets enabled by default.
