## Description

## Details

### enum NMDeviceGenericError

    typedef enum {
    	NM_DEVICE_GENERIC_ERROR_UNKNOWN = 0,            /*< nick=UnknownError >*/
    	NM_DEVICE_GENERIC_ERROR_NOT_GENERIC_CONNECTION, /*< nick=NotGenericConnection >*/
    	NM_DEVICE_GENERIC_ERROR_MISSING_INTERFACE_NAME, /*< nick=MissingInterfaceName >*/
    } NMDeviceGenericError;

`NM_DEVICE_GENERIC_ERROR_UNKNOWN` | unknown or unclassified error
`NM_DEVICE_GENERIC_ERROR_NOT_GENERIC_CONNECTION` | the connection was not of generic type
`NM_DEVICE_GENERIC_ERROR_MISSING_INTERFACE_NAME` | the connection did not specify the interface name

### NM_DEVICE_GENERIC_ERROR

    #define NM_DEVICE_GENERIC_ERROR nm_device_generic_error_quark ()

### nm_device_generic_error_quark ()

    GQuark              nm_device_generic_error_quark       (void);

Registers an error quark for NMDeviceGeneric if necessary.

Returns : | the error quark used for NMDeviceGeneric errors.

Since 0.9.10

    #define NM_DEVICE_GENERIC_HW_ADDRESS       "hw-address"

### NM_DEVICE_GENERIC_TYPE_DESCRIPTION

    #define NM_DEVICE_GENERIC_TYPE_DESCRIPTION "type-description"

### NMDeviceGeneric

    typedef struct _NMDeviceGeneric NMDeviceGeneric;

### NMDeviceGenericClass

    typedef struct {
    	NMDeviceClass parent;

    	/* Padding for future expansion */
    	void (*_reserved1) (void);
    	void (*_reserved2) (void);

    } NMDeviceGenericClass;

### nm_device_generic_new ()

    GObject *           nm_device_generic_new               (DBusGConnection *connection,
                                                             const char *path);

Creates a new NMDeviceGeneric.

`connection` : | the DBusGConnection
`path` : | the DBus object path of the device
Returns : | a new device. [transfer full]

Since 0.9.10

### nm_device_generic_get_hw_address ()

    const char *        nm_device_generic_get_hw_address    (NMDeviceGeneric *device);

Gets the hardware address of the NMDeviceGeneric

`device` : | a NMDeviceGeneric
Returns : | the hardware address. This is the internal string used by the device, and must not be modified.

Since 0.9.10

## Property Details

### The `"hw-address"` property

      "hw-address"               gchar*                : Read

The hardware address of the device.

Default value: NULL

### The `"type-description"` property

      "type-description"         gchar*                : Read

A description of the specific type of device this is, or `NULL` if not known.

Default value: NULL
