so far so good, but I did notice some issues.

1) BSS are now wrongly identified as ad-hoc. Seems there is a mixup.

2) The Signal property of a BSS needs to be int16_t (n) since the dBm
values can be negative.

3) For some reason the new debug properties don't work in d-feet.

4) The extra dict properties got added to InterfaceRemoved signal.

Regards

Marcel
