I confirm this bug. Upstream report (debian) http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=690536
You can work this out like this : # howto use Access Point with networkManager in Ubuntu 13.04 $ sudo apt-get install build-essential dpkg-dev fakeroot $ mkdir sources $ cd sources/ $ apt-get source wpasupplicant $ sudo apt-get build-dep wpasupplicant $ gedit wpa-1.0/debian/config/wpasupplicant/linux #add those lines at the end of the file # AP mode CONFIG_AP=y $ cd wpa-1.0/ $ fakeroot debian/rules binary $ cd .. $ sudo dpkg -i hostapd_1.0-3ubuntu1_i386.deb wpagui_1.0-3ubuntu1_i386.deb wpasupplicant_1.0-3ubuntu1_i386.deb "At the moment, neither nm-applet or the connection editor support setting real AP mode from the GUI; that's work-in-progress because it requires some rather extensive changes to the way that the editor validates its UI so that you don't end up with incompatible options. here's a sample "keyfile" connection for /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections; name it "Hotspot". you can start it with "nmcli con up id Hotspot": [connection] id=Hotspot uuid=3e13073d-6d7a-440d-ab2b-4f42c9fdacaf type=802-11-wireless autoconnect=false [802-11-wireless] ssid=my Hotspot mode=ap security=802-11-wireless-security [802-11-wireless-security] key-mgmt=wpa-psk psk=really secure password [ipv4] method=shared [ipv6] method=auto cf. https://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2013-April/msg00100.html You need to chmod 600 the keyfile to make network manager to use it. Unfortunately, even if I get the hotspot running and an android phone connect to it, it seems I can't reach the internet (well maybe an issue with my usb wifi stick) If you try this, please let me know if it works for you. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #690536 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=690536 ** Also affects: wpa (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=690536 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1186688 Title: AP-Mode doesn't work with network-manager To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1186688/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
