Is there a way to configure AP mode from the NetworkManager gui yet? My card supports master AP mode but it doesn't appear in the GUI. GUI only shows Infrastructure and Ad-hoc.

This is absolutely necessary in order to share internet with most new mobile phones. To use this, you need to edit the file for your shared internet connection, located in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ and under [802-11-wireless] set mode=ap. If you created a new file and it's not getting picked up, make it root:root, and only rwx to root. Start the connection with nmcli con up id your-connection-name. To see if this is successful, check the syslog. To see if your interface supports AP mode, run iw list. If you have multiple interfaces, it might be necessary to select the right one by adding a "mac" line. Just set the mac in the nm-applet interface on some other connection, and you'll see how it's set. I tested with a TP-Link TL-WN722N as the interface for AP mode and Samsung Galaxy S4 as client.
