First, hotspot was *not* supposed to have been enabled for mako in OTA6 due to this bug. See bug #1487157.
Re-verified using rc-proposed / #228 ): A hotspot can be created/started, it's not usable. It can be seen by other devices ( iPhone, Nexus5 ), but neither the device aren't able to properly authenticate to the hotspot: I also see the following kernel and wpa_supplicant errors on mako when a client attempts to associate. 15:18:19 kernel: [ 1010.424629] wlan: [1484:E :PE ] limProcessAssocReqFrame: 654: AP supports RSN enabled authentication 15:18:22 wpa_supplicant[1945]: handle_probe_req: send failed 15:18:23 wpa_supplicant[1945]: WPA: wpa_sm_step() called recursively 15:18:23 kernel: [ 1014.448283] wlan: [1945:E :HDD] hdd_softap_sta_deauth:(c1117f20, false) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1434591 Title: [mako] Cannot connect to a secure, shared "ap" hotspot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1434591/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
