Bug Description
* Impact
One of the distro patch is incorrect and create issues when trying to query dbus properties
* Test Case
$ sudo dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=
shouldn't error out
(the /1 reflect the interface number and could be a different value, check with d-feet if needed)
* Regression potential
The fixes is in the dbus interface, check that communication with desktop clients (indicator, applet, settings) still works correctly, returning expected informations on the signal, etc
-------
dbus-send is able to read the properties of interface using GetAll. Those information include interface name, status, encryption method, etc.
The regression was introduced when someone try to have the Station attribute supported
