peer |
string |
|
The P2P device that should be connected to. Currently, this is the only way to create or join a group. |
wfd-ies |
byte array |
|
The Wi-Fi Display (WFD) Information Elements (IEs) to set.
Wi-Fi Display requires a protocol specific information element to be set in certain Wi-Fi frames. These can be specified here for the purpose of establishing a connection. This setting is only useful when implementing a Wi-Fi Display client. |
wps-method |
uint32 |
0 |
Flags indicating which mode of WPS is to be used.
With the default setting, push-button (PBC) is used. For the PIN method there are two directions: set this to "pin" to enter the code that the peer displays (for example a display-capable Miracast sink), or to "pin-display" to instead show a code that the user enters on the peer. Either way the code is the "wps-pin" property; with "pin-display" it is also published as the "WpsPin" property of the Wi-Fi P2P device, so that it can be shown to the user. "pin-display" is not supported by the IWD backend. |
wps-pin |
string |
|
The WPS PIN used by the PIN methods of the "wps-method" property. With "pin" it is the code that the peer (for example a display-capable Miracast sink) generates and displays, and that the user then enters on this machine. With "pin-display" it is the code that the user enters on the peer instead; a secret agent is expected to make one up and show it, and NetworkManager also publishes it as the "WpsPin" property of the Wi-Fi P2P device.
When the PIN is not set, NetworkManager asks a secret agent for it; if enrollment then fails, it asks again for a new one. The code is normally used only once, in which case saving it is pointless: set the "wps-pin-flags" property to "not-saved" so that the user is asked every time. |
