Well, that partially works, these settings can be indeed changed later (I can 
even change the security option to WPA2), but looks like the device is still not 
in access point mode after all that.

Actually, as other messages in this thread state, this is not yet implemented in 
nm-applet and we'll have to wait until 0.9.8.2.

So now I wonder if it's possible to tell network-manager to create an access 
point via d-bus, or by any other means.
