* Remove the BNetworkDevice::AddPersistentNetwork() again and instead introduce
BNetworkRoster::{Count|GetNext|Add|Remove}PersistentNetwork() as it fits
better (thanks Philippe for the heads up).
* Implement the backend for these functions in the net_server and also move
conversion of the wireless_network based format into the settings based format
there.
* Implement removal of a network from the settings and make adding a new network
with the same name replace the old one instead of just adding multiple ones.
Might need to change this in the future depending on how we want to handle
multiple networks with the same name (i.e. distinguish based on BSSID or
similar).
* Fix apparent oversight that caused configured networks _not_ to be used in the
auto join attempt.
* Remove auto joining open networks. I've been bitten by that more than once now
because we happen to have an open network in the neighbourhood that I now
accidentally used to transfer quite a bit of (unencrypted) stuff before
noticing... In the future, one will instead have to explicitly join an open
network once and store that config. Note that the driver will actually still
auto-associate with open networks due to how things are set up currently.
Note also that the auto join will fire join requests whenever there's a
disassociation event, so you might see spurious join dialogs when the
wpa_supplicant actually just re-establishes the connection.
* Make join requests async again. Instead of waiting for a synchronous reply of
the wpa_supplicant we instead return success when the request has been sent.
While the API call might still be made synchronous again in the future, the
net_server should really not block on an external application. In the case of
the wpa_supplicant we would otherwise deadlock when using the new
*PersistentNetwork() API after a successful join, and in other cases we might
just unacceptably delay other calls.

* Add functions for constructing a settings file from messages and settings
templates.
* Prepare saving of such generated config files. Actually writing them out isn't
yet done however.
* Minor cleanup.

Check node monitoring messages to handle them only when it make sense.
Before, the "interfaces" settings file creation/removal notification was
leading to a attempt to configure/remove an interface named
"/boot/common/settings/network/interfaces"!
Could help fixing issue #7475.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@41274 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Moved the network definitions into their own file "wireless_networks".


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@39841 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Added some authentication config stuff to the settings. Now you can override
the detected defaults with your own values.
* Implemented joining open and WEP networks - this is pretty much untested,
though.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@39794 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Work in progress of WLAN support in the net_server.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@39783 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Cleanup.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37094 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Add interface disabling support.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37091 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Made defines out of the kNetServerSignature and kMsgConfigureInterface
constants - they are used in other apps as well, and defining them as
"static const" causes undefined warnings in other source files. This also
fixes the build.
* Changed "interfaces::auto config" to auto_config, as that's more convenient
to use in the settings files.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@32321 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Added "stand_alone" setting to the services - this way you can use the
net_server to launch services that work like a daemon theirselves (like sshd).
A service like this is also killed (via SIGTERM) when the netserver stops the
service (with sshd, you have to pass the '-D' option to make this work).
* If a boolean is given without value, it now defaults to true.
* The "launch" argument now gets its arguments properly parsed, and added, too.
* Services::_Update() did accidently set fUpdate on the wrong service, causing
services that were not changed to be stopped.
* More helpful output.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@32319 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Got rid of the duality of FS_WRITE_STAT_* vs. B_STAT_* flags (removed
the former ones).
* Removed extraneous white space.
* net_server settings are now also updated when the size of the
file changed.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@24552 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Accidently left in some debug output.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@21567 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Optionally allows a different settings format; now you can write:
interface /dev/net/... { ... }
instead of:
interface {
device /dev/net/...
...
}

This will also work with service::name, and address::family.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@21556 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Now uses BPathMonitor instead of the node monitor; this fixes several issues with
changes to settings files that were ignored (for example, watching "services" did
only work if "interfaces" existed).
* On services update, Services::_Update() accidently compared the pointers of the
service objects, instead of the objects themselves.
* Implemented comparison of address changes in service objects; IOW when you change
the addresses a service should bind itself to, but leave the rest of the service
unchanged, this will now be detected as well.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@21555 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Work-in-progress on the "services" implementation: it now reads the configuration
message, parses it, and stops/starts the services as needed - it doesn't launch
any actual servers yet, though.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@19645 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Added "services" to the network settings, and refactored the settings class a bit
to be easier extendable with more classes.
* Fixed a bug in the settings that caused updated settings to be appended to the
existing ones (missing BMessage::MakeEmpty()).
* Started services system, doesn't do anything useful yet (inetd replacement).
* Fixed the bug that caused the loopback default netmask to be incorrectly chosen;
removed the temporary fix Bruno introduced before. The same bug has been in
ifconfig where I copied the code from (but wrote it there, too) :-).


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@19609 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Forgot to add the "auto config" settings parameter to the BMessage template conversion.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@19466 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Fixed the bug noticed by Philippe - we might not only be able to open the
"interfaces" file in the future :-)


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@19088 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Implemented node monitoring: if you change the interfaces settings file, the
networking stack is reconfigured automatically.
* The previous default route is now removed before installing a new one.
* "gateway" was missing in the driver settings to BMessage conversion template,
and thus, it was only set to a default value in case there was no settings
file.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@19086 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
