Yeah, we simply ran out of time on this for 0.9.8; but it will be
cherry-picked to 0.9.8.2.  I have a branch for it, but we need some

before this is all handled correctly.

Checked the sources - it does not support hotspot-mode yet.

If yes: I am working with Yocto environment and see only options for ad-hoc/WEP. I am afraid I have to take care for the tweaks (e.g configure option) required myself. Anybody with a helping hints?
