I just changed the Status to Invalid, as NM has the capability to leverage P2P mode for hotspots.

See bug #1426923 for details. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1371584 Title: Support wifi hotspot by adding P2P support in network manager Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: With both adhoc and AP mode not possible as options for usage by Network Manager ( which supports HotSpot via one of those two modes ), we're forced to add support to NetworkManager to enable it to use the driver's P2P to support instead.
