** Also affects: indicator-network (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Changed in: wpasupplicant (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
** Summary changed:
- Allow ubuntu-system-settings to set a device's firmware through wpa_supplicant
+ Allow ubuntu-system-settings to set a device's firmware through the private
Connectivity API
** 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 allowed to make the call
+ Ubuntu System Settings should be able to make a call to the Connectivity API,
like Jamie suggests, SetAP(), SetSTA(), SetP2P().
