I knew that NM had AP mode on an older Ubuntu (12.04 like) but only with WEP/WPA, now it has more cypher modes like WPA2?

So at least for the control center some new features might be possible. Regarding UI-exposed stuff it might come from an applet in shell.

Only request new WiFi secrets during the initial association or when the secrets are known to be wrong, not every time the connection randomly fails
This was an important reason why I would install Mint (wicd) instead of Ubuntu when people asked to revive an old bloated windows machine.

*Core NetworkManager supports these features. The GTK and Qt systrays for NetworkManager may not expose them quite yet.

(the KDE applet is developed seperately from main NetworkManager, not sure if the GTK applet is "in-house" or done by the Gnome guys seperately. If its in-house, then the GTK client should expose these options for bridging right off the bat since the GUI options would've been done at the same time as the features they were frontends for.)

Originally posted by Ericg View PostBecause NM is still pre-1.0. 1.0 will hit when you basically do anything and everything you SHOULD be able to do with a Linux (keyword, as in compared to Windows or OS X) Network management system. One of the big missing features until today was Bridging, which was a biiiiiiiiiiig deal for Virtualization.

AP-Mode Hotspot
Does this mean, I will be actually able to broadcast internet using wifi (like hostapd)? My only problem with current solution is, I keep losing the connection. It is almost unusable.
