the file must also be marked as EXTRA_DIST in Makefile.am and marked for installation. Similar, in data/meson.build.

I think this should be nm_device_get_ip_ifindex (self).

I hope I got the whitespaces correct. I tested it locally with F27 <-> Windows and successfully got a link-local address that was ping-able from windows. |
Load the thunderbolt-net module if we see a host-to-host connection and configure the resulting ethernet connection automatically to be a link-local only one. The latter is done by setting a new udev property "NM_AUTO_DEFAULT_LINK_LOCAL_ONLY" which is picked up when we configure the connection for the device. NetworkManager#97
First attempt to implement thunderbolt networking. Comments welcome.
