PPP Connection type

[Regela]

Hello! I need to add PPP Connection type to ‎sdbus_async/networkmanager/enums.py
It is a pptp vpn by network-manager-pptp

Type:    Ppp
Name:    ppp0
Address: 10.0.0.11/32
DNS:     10.0.0.10
DNS:     8.8.8.8
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/pycharm_project_872/network_manager_device_info.py", line 110, in <module>
    asyncio.run(list_networkdevice_details_async())

    raise AttributeError(name) from None
AttributeError: PPP

Thank you for excellent library!

Hello,

I think there is a PPPOE device type defined, however, it is probably the wrong name:

python-sdbus-networkmanager/sdbus_async/networkmanager/enums.py

Line 550 in f1fcc1d

PPPOE = "pppoe"

Can you try renaming it to PPP = "ppp"?

[Regela]

No, PPOE and PPP it is a different things. I add PPP = "ppp" to ConnectionType enum and it solved my problem. Please, add it in repo )

[igo95862]

Hmmm...

Looking at the NetworkManager source code it looks like the PPP device connection setting type should be "pppoe"?

https://github.com/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/blob/02371a18b0bd1f30ae9d093646d49048d4944dc9/src/core/devices/nm-device-ppp.c#L327C25-L327C25

The NM_SETTING_PPP_SETTING_NAME seems to be almost unused anywhere in the source code.

Ok I think I get it.

So the Device D-Bus interface returns the 23 which in the DeviceType enum has a name PPP.

However, the PPP Device requires the Connection Settings type field set to "pppoe" so the correct value should be PPP = "pppoe".

However, the ConnectionType enum should probably be a map named REQUIRED_CONNECTION_SETTING_TYPE and it won't cover all device types as it seems that certain device types can support multiple connection settings.

For example, VETH:
