Title:
  Allow ubuntu-system-settings to set a device's firmware through
  wpa_supplicant

Status in wpasupplicant package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Background:
  AP hotspots are currently provisioned like this [1]. I don't precisely know why we need to poke the driver, but AP hotspots on krillin fails without it.

  Rationale:
  Ubuntu System Settings needs to do the same things as aforementioned script, but via dbus [2] as phablet/current non-privileged user.

  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
