Not at this time, but there are notes about how to do it in the TODO file in NM git if anyone wants to write up a patch for it. It's not too hard. It's been discussed a bunch before but there wasn't any available time to do it. > How about WiFi Direct(P2P) support..is it there yet ? ...

WiFi direct isn't implemented yet either because the wpa_supplicant pieces are only just getting stable, and there aren't many kernel drivers yet that support Direct. That's going to change in the next year or so though, so we should start thinking about this. Unfortunately Direct implies that we need to think hard about the user interface too; if you want to connect to a printer but you're already connected to an AP, and the printer is using a different WiFi channel, you either need to fail that request or alert the user that their current connection will break. That sort of thing. But that's solvable, just needs somebody to do it.
