The WDS dbus property of a Device directly maps to the 4ADDR property
of a real netdevice. It can be activated or deactivated at any point
in time.
The name WDS comes from the fact that this feature allows a STA
interface to be bridged and thus create a Wireless Distribution
System (the same name is used in OpenWRT and hostapd).
To implement this feature, the 'powered callback' data structure has
been renamed and re-used.
When a wifi interface is added/removed to/from a bridge, a
RTM_NEW/DELLINK event is issued. This is the same event used to signal
when an interface is created/deleted.
For this reason the event generated by the bridge code has to be
properly distinguished and handled accordingly. Failing to do so will
result in inconsistencies in iwd which will think an interface has been
deleted when it was actually not.
Detect incoming NEW/DELLINK bridge events and reacts accordingly. For
now, this simply means printing a simple message, as there is no
special logic in iwd for this yet.
Change connection logic form using a list of the previously
obtained ordered networks to use network proxy objects.
This excludes the need to run get-networks command before
the connect command.
This is meant to reset the EAP state back to its original state without
affecting any state variables obtained through load_settings. This can
be useful for EAP Reauthentication triggered by the AP.
In mac80211_hwsim each radio is assigned two addresses, the second (addr
1) being used over nl80211. In SendFrame we'd hardcode the mapping of
address 0 to address 1 even though we track all the addresses in radio_info,
so instead use that data to find the radio that has given address 0. Also
if no address 0 matches what was supplied over DBus try to find a matching
address 1.
There are ways userspace can request different addresses when managing
mac80211_hwsim radios and the hardcoded mapping would become wrong.
