Title:
Can't create AP hotspots in ubuntu 13.10 / network-manager
Status in Network Manager GNOME Applet:
Invalid
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
Hi,
Today I have upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10 with the hope that network-
manager was finally able to create AP hotspots without complex
configurations. This would enable the end user to finally connect
phones and tablets to wifi hotspots created with Ubuntu.
Too bad I found out that the Network tool still creates hotspots with
ad-hoc networks.
Good news is that with a simple change I managed to create a working AP
hotspot and connect my android devices! The only change that is required is to:
1) set mode=ap to the hotspot connection file (created by the Network tool)
2) start the hotspot with the nmcli tool: nmcli con up id
your-connection-name (credits to:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpa/+bug/1209511)
It is clear then that this is not an hardware or driver issue, so why AP
hotspots are still not created by default?
Thanks for the great work.
