Getting connection info by id fails

[cemeyer]

Example:

$ cnetworkmanager --actcon
State     | Name        | AP | Devices | Default route
----------+-------------+----+---------+--------------
ACTIVATED | System eth0 |    | eth0    | *            
$ cnetworkmanager --con-info="System eth0"
Connection 'System eth0' not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/cnetworkmanager", line 250, in 
    cs = c.GetSettings()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'GetSettings'

This is with cnetworkmanager 0.21.1.

Ok, if I specify KIND manually, I still get an exception:

$ cnetworkmanager "--con-info=system,System eth0"

KeyError: 'security'

I am using NetworkManager 0.7.1-8.git20090708 on Fedora 11.

Yes, KIND defaults to "user" so you have to say "system" explicitly. That should probably try both in order.
I need to fix that "KeyError: 'security'"

[cemeyer]

Ah, ok. I didn't expect that behaviour from --help.

Also, looks like mac-address isn't getting printed correctly?

For the --terse behaviour, it would be a lot easier for scripts to parse if instead of the current format, it was something like this:

802-3-ethernet|mac-address|00:11:22:33:44:55
connection|type|802-3-ethernet
connection|uuid|foo
connection|id|System eth0
ipv4|routes|
ipv4|addresses|
...
