* Get rid of the internal IP address listsDavid Sommerseth2013-12-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | With the new structure, these pointers are of no use. Kick them out. The result of this is that get_etherinfo_address() now returns a Python object which contains a list of IP address objects. Signed-off-by: David Sommerseth <davids@redhat.com>
* Clean-up get_etherinfo() and move it to get_etherinfo_address()David Sommerseth2013-12-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | This follows the previous commit. Just cleaning up and making things a bit more clearer. Signed-off-by: David Sommerseth <davids@redhat.com>
* Split out the link info from get_etherinfo()David Sommerseth2013-12-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | This is a needed step for the next move, where we'll query the interfaces for IP address at as late as possible. Signed-off-by: David Sommerseth <davids@redhat.com>
* Reduce the NETLINK pointer complexityDavid Sommerseth2013-12-171-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | Make the NETLINK connection pointer and user counter local global variables inside netlink.c only. Where NETLINK calls via libnl is required, rather use get_nlc() to get a NETLINK connection. This also prepares the next step, to get rid of the struct etherinfo_obj_data wrapper.

* Splitting up get_etherinfo() callsDavid Sommerseth2013-12-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | Make the calls to retrieve IPv4 and IPv6 addresses individual. This is the the beginning of the rewrite of the whole etherinfo main class. Signed-off-by: David Sommerseth <davids@redhat.com>
* Rip out the old IPv6 implementation completelyDavid Sommerseth2013-09-131-3/+0
| | | | | | | The whole IPv6 support will be re-implemented using a simliar strategy as the newer IPv4 support uses. Signed-off-by: David Sommerseth <davids@redhat.com>
* Migrated from libnl-1 to libnl-3David Sommerseth2013-09-121-7/+0
| | | | | | | | This ports the current functionality from libnl-1 to libnl-3.0. At the current stage, it should be functional but more patches cleaning up the code will come. Signed-off-by: David Sommerseth <davids@redhat.com>
* Only open the NETLINK interface when neededDavid Sommerseth2011-04-111-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | Do not open a NETLINK connection when loading the module, but rahter open it when needed. In a case where multiple users needs the connection, it will be shared and only closed when the last active user is done. Signed-off-by: David Sommerseth <davids@redhat.com>
* Get rid of not needed struct wrappingDavid Sommerseth2010-08-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The struct nl_handle was wrapped inside struct _nlconnection. This is really not needed if open_netlink() and close_netlink() functions uses "pointer's pointer" (struct nl_handle **) instead. Removes also the need to declare a static struct _nlconnection, as the global nlconnection variable can now be a pointer as well. Signed-off-by: David Sommerseth <davids@redhat.com>
* Added missing copyright notifications and updated where neededDavid Sommerseth2010-08-031-1/+1

* Improved IPv6 supportDavid Sommerseth2010-07-301-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As the IPv6 protocol allows a single device to have more than one IPv6 address, the previous implementation did not provide all IPv6 information. It would reject all except the last parsed IPv6 address. NOTE: This implementation will break the previous API. This change removes the ethtool.etherinfo.ipv6_address and ethtool.etherinfo.ipv6_netmask members. A new member is added, ethtool.etherinfo.ipv6_addresses (in plural). This contains a tupple list containing of ethtool.etherinfo_ipv6addr objects, one object for each configured IPv6 address on the device. These objects have the following members available: .address - The IPv6 address .netmask - The IPv6 netmask (in bit notation) .scope - A string with the IPv6 address scope Example code: import ethtool devs = ethtool.get_interfaces_info('eth0') for ip6 in devs[0].ipv6_addresses: print "[%s] %s/%i" % (ip6.scope, ip6.address, ip6.netmask) Signed-off-by: David Sommerseth <davids@redhat.com>
* Updated to fetch the interface information when the "getter" function triggersDavid Sommerseth2010-04-281-11/+9

* Rewritten ethtool to make use of libnl instead of accessing NETLINK directlyDavid Sommerseth2010-04-261-3/+1

* First cut at a python etherinfo class in C. Does nothing useful yet.David Sommerseth2009-09-041-0/+1
