Well at least there is an open RFE - Network Manager
[enh] Add support for WiFi P2P (aka WiFi Direct)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734073

And in this thread I see Patrik Flykt - ConnMan.
Connman WiFi p2p API evaluation
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2015-January/msg00018.html

Let's see if NetworkMan can learn from ConnMan. :)

Thanks again for the occurrence.
