The best way is actually through python using dbus, because python makes talking to dbus-enabled services insanely easy. Otherwise you can use straight C if you like, but that's much more complicated. Both the applet and nm-tool use D-Bus to talk to NetworkManager, so the same interfaces they use are available from anywhere. You may also want to look at dbus-send, which allows you to do things like: dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.getDevices Dan _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
