NM apparently has grown support for "ap" mode style hotspots.  It should
be possible to write the NM connection file with mode="ap" instead of
mode="adhoc".

So, I took Antti's connection file and modified it to use mode="ap"
instead of "adhoc".  I don't get the same stack trace when trying to
activate such a connection on mako, however it doesn't seem to work all
that well.  I initially saw the AP in the network list of my laptop (
trusty ), and an Android phone, however when I tried to connect via
Android, it appeared the defined psk in Antti's connection file is too
short for WPA-PSK ( the PSK needs to be 8 chars minimum ) so the Android
connect button was never active.

Once I corrected this by adding a few trailing characters, I tried to
connect with both OS X ( Invalid Password error ), and Android ( tries
to connect, fails, no error displayed ).
