To explain the issue: wpa_supplicant is not compiled with AP support, networkmanager tells it in your log:
NetworkManager[12539]: <warn> Supplicant may not support AP mode; connection may time out. The solution above is to recompile it with this support. -- 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
