    Add polkit action for Wi-Fi scans · 243af16c
    Jonathan Kang authored and Thomas Haller's avatar Thomas Haller committed
    Previously, Wi-Fi scans uses polkit action
    "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control". This is introduced
    in commit 5e3e19d0. But in a system with restrict polkit rules, for
    example "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control" was set as
    auth_admin. When you open the network panel of GNOME Control Center, a
    polkit dialog will keep showing up asking for admin password, as GNOME
    Control Center scans the Wi-Fi list every 15 seconds.
    
    Fix that by adding a new polkit action
    "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.scan" so that distributions can
    add specific rule to allow Wi-Fi scans.
