Bug Description

From http://askubuntu.com/questions/180733/how-to-setup-an-access-point-mode-wi-fi-hotspot
"Ubuntu 14.04LTS "Trusty Tahr"'s default Network Manager (network-manager v9.8.8) already has the ability to start Access Point mode WiFi hotspot. But the problem is that, support for AP mode hotspot haven't yet been implemented in Network Manager's Gnome frontend. This means that you can't create an AP mode Hotspot directly from the GUI, atleast for now. But, Network Manager's KDE frontend has already implemented support for AP mode hotspots. This is why Kubuntu and other KDE based distro users can directly start AP mode hotspots, even though they're having the same version of Network Manager backend."

So, it looks this front-just need to implement this feature.
