Make it possible to list connected stations in AP mode over D-Bus,
along
with some of their properties: rx/tx packets, bytes, capabilities,
etc.
It looks like this patch changes the signal signature of
StaAuthorized/StaDeauthorized, is that correct?  That won't be
backwards compatible with existing D-Bus clients and we should probably
choose new signal names to allow old clients to continue working.
Hmm, indeed it does, and it probably shouldn’t. What would you call a
new signal with the new signature?

Mathieu, what applications rely on the proposed new signature of this
signal?

Sorry for the spam, I accidentally hit the send button.

I don't think that Mathieu (or anyone else) knows the full list of applications relying on the current signature of this particular D-Bus signal. Here is an example of code which I'm sure Mathieu wasn't aware of:

https://git.merproject.org/mer-core/libgsupplicant/blob/master/src/gsupplicant_interface.c#L1987

Please don't break backward compatibility. It's not cool.

Cheers,
