Hello,

I have been having some network/wireless issues lately and have been investigating today.
My journalctl is full of :
"wpa_supplicant[372]: dbus: wpas_dbus_bss_signal_prop_changed: Unknown Property value 7"

Searching on the net, I found this patch on the official mailing list that fixes it:
http://w1.fi/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=hostap.git;a=commitdiff;h=a24a5ccb28c2bc7af466e47b84dc346e6c54f062

I don't understand why they have not done a release for this fix, as it can be pretty annoying and the fix is trivial... but I think it should be useful to add that to the arch package.
I have already patched it on all my computers and will report in a couple days for any behavior change I see.

I have attached my modified PKGBUILD and my local patch.

Thanks
