Hi, We are working at Nokia on porting existing (MeeGo Touch based) Internet connectivity UIs to support Connman. Previously our Internet UI has supported Maemo specific connection daemon called ICd2.
Most parts of the Connman API look good and clear, but couple of questions popped up today when going through our own worklist: * Is there indication when scanning starts or ends in Connman? I'm looking for something similar to Bluez Adapter API "Discovering" property (but of course for e.g. WLAN scan instead of BT discovery). I could not find anything similar when reading the API docs myself. * In ICd2 there is a service provider API [1], with which e.g. hotspot service provider plugins can identify/tag certain WLAN connections. UI is then able to read these "tags" and show the tagged WLANs as branded for a certain hotspot service provider. In practice this means showing some custom icon and label for these networks. Is there similar tagging/identify functionality provided or planned to be provided in Connman? Or is this something left completely for the UI to handle? * Is there any possibility to rename a service? Currently Service "Name" property has been marked as [readonly] in the API documentation. In this case I would expect to find e.g. "Alias" property (like in Bluez Device API), but I was unable to find one. I know at least some cases when the end user can receive a WLAN AP from ISP having semi-random SSID. In this cases it IMHO would be nice to provide way for the user to rename or assign an alias for the WLAN service.
