RE: Help with adding wifi connections with python




Ok, I figured it out by myself. No keyring needed, just the right properties.

In most of the examples I have found  the password is is loaded into 'wpa-key'. This is is not correct, at least it does not work in Ubuntu 11.10.
The correct property is psk. I would love to find some more detailed documentation for this. It is a bit too hard.

Below code works. 

s_con = { 'id': 'XXX', 'uuid': '5ef2d781-1197-44eb-8744-cd78b9c07315', 'type': '802-11-wireless', 'autoconnect': False, 'name': 'connection' }

s_wifi = { 'ssid': dbus.ByteArray("XXX"), 'mode': 'infrastructure', 'security': '802-11-wireless-security', 'name': '802-11-wireless' } 

s_wsec = { 'key-mgmt': 'wpa-psk', 'psk': 'xxx', 'name': '802-11-wireless-security' } 

s_ip4 = { 'method': 'auto', 'name': 'ipv4' } 

con = { 'connection': s_con, '802-11-wireless': s_wifi, '802-11-wireless-security': s_wsec, 'ipv4': s_ip4 }
