Description Marius Vollmer 2014-05-08 18:02:27 UTC 
As of version 0.9.9 it is lacking the PropertiesChanged signal.

Instead, individual interfaces such as org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device.Wired have their own PropertiesChanged signal.  This does work, but it is 'non standard'.

In addition, the org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device interface does not currently have a PropertiesChanged signal.  Instead, changes to its properties are notified via a secondary interface, such as o.fdo.NM.Device.Wired.  This works as long as there isn't any overlap in property names between the interfaces, but it is non standard and awkward (IMO).

(We have code to deal with this in Cockpit, and this bug report exists mostly to help us track when we can remove that code.)

this will happen with the port to GDBus, which probably means NM 1.0
