Thanks Dan, that gets it. Now I'm struggling to *modify* the password.... :S I see that I can do a settings.set_property(NM.SETTING_GSM_PASSWORD, "NewPw") but unsure how to complete the updating. I found NM.Connection.replace_settings(), and update_secrets(), but both of those put me back into GVariant territory. What would be the route to get the new password fed back through (presumably prior to finishing with a NM.RemoteConnection.save()/commit()?) _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
