Some values like SSID, BSSID, keys, etc are passed as byte arrays, not
strings, because they can contain embedded NULLs or are not UTF-8;
anything that's not UTF-8 safe should be passed as a byte array.

Second, value must be Variants, but of course Variants may contain any
other type of value.  The signature for the dict is "a{sv}", so it's
likely that you're not sending the values as a variant.
