ConnMan (still) supports wext drivers as much as possible, i.e. as much
as wpa_supplicant does. Either your WiFi device really does not support
AP mode, or then the wext API is not capable of setting AP mode in the
first place.
Wext is so obsolete that the best option is to use a modern nl80211
driver, or lacking that, get a new WiFi device altogether.
