nm-applet has not been updated to support AP mode. (gnome-control-center
has been.) Can you file a bug?

Just noticed this.

I've filed a ticket with a patch that might be relevant a short while
ago: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738441



Thanks, 

$ rpm -q libnm-gtk network-manager-applet nm-connection-editor

nm-connection-editor-0.9.11.0-18.git20141009.fc21.x86_64

1. The option of creating the 'AP'(master) mode via 'nm-applet' missing in "Create New Wi-Fi Network..."
2. Created 'AP' profile via 'nm-connection-editor' missing the following items to start automatically & 
establish WPA2 based connection:

[connection]
autoconnect=true

[wifi]
security=802-11-wireless-security

[wifi-security]
proto=rsn
pairwise=ccmp


It is also important not to erase the existing valid keys/values ​​after editing and saving existing 
profile.

BTW take a look at working config here,

Who would say AP is so complex to set in GUI. :)
