Personally, I'm more inclined to a checkbox. Why is "turn wifi on/off" not an
action? Right now, I don't see the big difference.
(I assume "hotspot" and "shared wifi" are equivalent.)
1. If you have configured several hotspots in the KCM, you probably need to
choose a default one or a specific one when activating the hotspot.
2. What do you think about adding a small configure button for the default
hotspot directly on the plasma-nm frontend next to the hotspot checkbox/button?
- That would make it much easier for newcomers to use and configure their
hotspot without first digging in the KCM.
3. I also think that a hotspot (shared wifi) connection should be better
separated from the other wifi connections in the KCM. If I create a new hotspot
in the KCM now, it hides in the long list of known connections.
4. That's somehow also true for the plasma-nm list of available networks:
It's not really clear that a hotspot in the list is a indeed hotspot but not
another access point.

> @apol You are right, it is not possible to create a hotspot if one is
already connected to a WiFi network. Currently enabling hotspot disables your
previous connection (WiFi) and hides available WiFi networks.
Is this also true if one has two wifi network cards? IIRC I could run both
with an additional usb netwok card simultaneously.

@jgrulich do you intend to create another patch to display all connected
clients, similiar to the list of active connections? :)
