Question on using NM to connect to wifi AP

[Michael Uman <cc-michaelu cana com>]

Hello,

This is my 1st post to the list so please be forgiving if I am not asking the question correctly. I am trying to use NM to connect to a wifi SSID and I have the SSID and password, but I cannot figure out which interfaces and which objects need to be accessed.

My application is using Qt QtDbus to access NM, and I am already using it to detect whether we are connected to the net, and am listening to the state change signal. So I understand how to interface with the Dbus component. But I have not found a clear example of how to connect to an AP using the interface. I am currently forced to manually set the wifi on our target device using the nmcli command (which is using NM to do the connection anyway).

Any suggestions on where to find some example of how to do this? If no example then maybe a clear explanation of the steps needed to be taken to support this. I need this to allow the device to connect to the network. I appreciate any and all comments.

Thank you,

Michael Uman
