Be able to create a hot-spot in network-manager  
Written by ariel.haviv the 8 Jun 12 at 09:34. Related project: Network Manager. New
network manager enables creation of Ad-Hoc network, but many devides running Android won't recognize Ad-Hoc. To be able to work with hostapd you need to be a real pro, and it conflicts with network manager. It would be wonderful if hostapd worked out of the box (GUI) in network manager, with no conflicts.

make network-manager work with hotspot module in some way, so it would work out of the box, only through GUI.

System should auto regognize enable hotspot, and show it in list of wifi networks. Just click on visible hotpost and it asked for password and then connect.
