Auto registering connections

[Joseph Gunn <gunnjo curlycloud com>]

Hello

I have been trying to work thru some issues. and have exhausted all resources.

I am trying to script auto-registering to open wireless interfaces. 

In short i'd like to connect to open wifi networks before i have a chance to "click" on the
nm-applet in my tray, as i usually just need "any" net connection and i find myself in a "new" environment fairly often.

So far i am able to create, thru the DBus API, connections that represent open wireless networks. These only show up
if i reload NetworkManager. Until the reload the connections show on disk, but not using the DBus interface. As soon as NM is restarted the connections show, and are usable.

The python examples, add-system-wifi-connection.py and list-connections.py, show this behavior.

I am using NM 0.8.1 as distributed in Debian Squeeze (0.8.1-6+squeeze1).

Anyone have a clue what i am missing?

TIA
Joe
