At the moment, neither nm-applet or the connection editor support
setting real AP mode from the GUI; that's work-in-progress because it

here's a sample "keyfile" connection
for /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections; you can start it with "nmcli
con up id Hotspot":

[connection]
id=Hotspot
uuid=3e13073d-6d7a-440d-ab2b-4f42c9fdacaf
type=802-11-wireless
autoconnect=false

[802-11-wireless]
ssid=my Hotspot
mode=ap
security=802-11-wireless-security

[802-11-wireless-security]
key-mgmt=wpa-psk
psk=really secure password

[ipv6]

Thanks, but it not really works.

Ok, then how does it not really work, and can you grab some logs from
wherever syslog dumps information on your distro, which is
usually /var/log/messages or /var/log/daemon.log or /var/log/syslog
or /var/log/NetworkManager.log (depending on your distro)?

Oh, you also need your wpa_supplicant built with the CONFIG_AP=y option.
