[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1426923@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

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 the call to wpa.
