** No longer affects: indicator-network (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed:
- Allow ubuntu-system-settings to set a device's firmware through the private Connectivity API + Allow ubuntu-system-settings to set a device's firmware ** Description changed: Background: To do Wi-Fi hotspots on krillin, we need to poke wifi by doing a call to wpa_supplicant's (undocumented/local) SetInterfaceFirmware method. See [1] for details. Rationale: Ubuntu System Settings needs to do the same things as aforementioned script, but via dbus [2], as phablet/current non-privileged user and unconfined. What happens: If phablet runs [2], this error message [3] is produced, which I interpret to be equivalent with "you're not welcome here". What should happen instead: - Ubuntu System Settings should be able to make a call to the Connectivity API, like Jamie suggests, SetAP(), SetSTA(), SetP2P(). + Ubuntu System Settings should be able to make the call to wpa.
