Once we've sent a method call over DBus requesting that the modem be

The DBus signatures registered (via dbus_g_proxy_add_signal) for the
fi.w1.wpa_supplicant.Interface.{BSSAdded,ScanDone} signals were
incorrect. That prevented us from receiving wifi ap scan results, at
least in the case where wpa_supplicant has DBus introspection disabled.
