Enum DeviceType 

#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum DeviceType {
    Ethernet,
    Wifi,
    WifiP2P,
    Loopback,
    Bluetooth,
    Other(u32),
}

NetworkManager device types.

Represents the type of network hardware managed by NetworkManager. This enum uses a registry-based system to support adding new device types without breaking the API.

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Ethernet

Wired Ethernet device.

Wifi

Wi-Fi (802.11) wireless device.

WifiP2P

Wi-Fi P2P (peer-to-peer) device.

Loopback

Loopback device (localhost).

Bluetooth

Bluetooth

Other(u32)

Unknown or unsupported device type with raw code.

Use the methods on DeviceType to query capabilities of unknown device types, which will consult the internal device type registry.

Implementations

impl DeviceType

pub fn supports_scanning(&self) -> bool

Returns whether this device type supports network scanning.

Currently only WiFi and WiFi P2P devices support scanning. For unknown device types, consults the internal device type registry.

pub fn requires_specific_object(&self) -> bool

Returns whether this device type requires a specific object (like an access point).

WiFi devices require an access point to connect to, while Ethernet can connect without a specific target. For unknown device types, consults the internal device type registry.

pub fn has_global_enabled_state(&self) -> bool

Returns whether this device type has a global enabled/disabled state.

WiFi has a global radio killswitch that can enable/disable all WiFi devices. For unknown device types, consults the internal device type registry.

pub fn connection_type_str(&self) -> &'static str

Returns the NetworkManager connection type string for this device.

This is used when creating connection profiles for this device type. For unknown device types, consults the internal device type registry.

pub fn to_code(&self) -> u32

Returns the raw NetworkManager type code for this device.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for DeviceType

fn clone(&self) -> DeviceType

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for DeviceType

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for DeviceType

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl From<u32> for DeviceType

fn from(value: u32) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl PartialEq for DeviceType

fn eq(&self, other: &DeviceType) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
