Bug Description
According to the WiFi AP Configuration document for our Ubuntu Core 16 wifi-ap snap, WPA2-PSK [AES] is the only type of security supported.
As the default for the wifi-ap snap is open (ie. no security), it seems to me that not allowing for WPA-PSK(TKIP) is being a bit smug when we've already left the door open by default. Most commercially available access points allow the following security choices:
* None
* WEP
* WPA-PSK [TKIP]
* WPA2-PSK [AES]
* WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]
I'm not advocating WEP support, but I think the last three on my list should be allowed for the widest range of interoperability.
