Re: Programmatically adding a wireless connection to network manager configuration?

[Daniel McCue <dmccue128 gmail com>]

Thanks Pavel.  If I create a new configuration keyfile in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections, any idea how long it will take NetworkManager to notice or is there something I can do to notify it to attempt a connection to the new AP?

I'll leave the proper API answer to others (as I think it's not supported)... but what you *can* do is to let your app create the configuration files (e.g. in the built-in keyfile format) and use that.
