Now that I looked at this, the latest version of the new dbus code is
also using get_keys=0. As such, I don't think WPS would work with this
version. Am I missing something?

I did end up applying the patch to introduce wpa_config_get_all() at
least for now. However, I may consider a change on this in the future to
limit the access to only the keys provisioned with WPS (the current
version seems to limit this anyway with get_keys=0, but it can be
changed).

Are there any other missing patches that I would have missed? Is there
any good way for me to test the new interface?
