You're correct. Here's what I'd do: client = NM.Client.new(None) c = client.get_connection_by_uuid(sys.argv[1]) secrets = c.get_secrets(NM.SETTING_WIRELESS_SECURITY_SETTING_NAME) # this merges the secrets into the existing connection c.update_secrets(NM.SETTING_WIR ELESS_SECURITY_SETTING_NAME, secrets) <change the secret here with set_property()> # write the full connection back to NM c.save() Dan _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
