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.
