Yeah, that method call was what I was missing.

Thanks a lot for all your help.

I have attached a similar code that I have written for some other purpose. It is in java. You can have a look at the method UpdateInitStatus. You can follow the same approach and finally do a Disconnect() on your required device.

Greg,

When you login to your system, the NetworkManager is connecting to your WIFI network automatically. What I meant is that the same thing is happening when you disconnect too. In your case, I would suggest you to query the ActiveConnections property, find the appropriate device associated with it and then do a Disconnect() in the org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device. Since there is only one Active WIFI Connection, which is associated with a device, this should work fine.

The problem with this function call is that it is at the NetworkManager level and the state change happens at the NetworkManager software level. Instead you do a disconnect at the device level. So I would suggest you to look at the documentation of org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device and do from there.

Jos Collin

Hi,

What I'm seeing in my application is when I command NM to disconnect from an AP (via DBUS) NM disconnects but then reconnects right away.
AM I missing a step that needs to be done first?

I'm using the method org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.DeactivateConnection

Thanks,

Greg
