Unable to connect to some wifi networks #41

The wifi setup client does not work with wifi networks that require a username/password or those that have captive portals.

It might be worthwhile considering moving to NetworkManager rather than using netifaces/wifi/pyroute2 python libraries as NM already deals with the vast majority of those use cases plus a lot more.

I wonder if the network-manager libraries could handle our p2p group as well (in legacy ap mode)? We needed to use wifi direct in order to use two different channels on the pi3.

So P2P support isn't there but it's on the tracker for the next release so it should be something that could be used RSN.

The upstream bug for P2P is this one and it references a discussion on it on a ML, you might want to review the functionality and make sure there's nothing missed. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734073
