Public bug reported:

With our package for wpa-supplicant a call

$ sudo gdbus call -y -d fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1 -o
/fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1/Interfaces/1 -m
org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll 'fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.Interface'

fails always with

Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: No readable
properties in this interface

The reason for this is that the internal properties getter routine will
never return any result when one internal getter fails.

The responsible property here is the "Stations" one which was added by a
patch in Ubuntu and is not available upstream. Take a look at
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-
branches/ubuntu/wily/wpa/wily/view/head:/debian/patches/dbus-available-
sta.patch

The getter method wpas_dbus_getter_stas expects the ap_iface element to
be see which isn't always the case and if that isn't true it will return
false and causes the whole Properties.GetAll call to fail.

The expected result is that the getter just returns an empty list if it
can't determine the actual value.
