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

Title:
  [mako] Cannot connect to a secure, shared "ap" hotspot

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  $ system-image-cli -i
  current build number: 138
  device name: mako
  channel: ubuntu-touch/devel-proposed
  alias: ubuntu-touch/vivid-proposed
  last update: 2015-03-17 15:04:46
  version version: 138
  version ubuntu: 20150317.1
  version device: 20150210
  version custom: 20150317.1

  I have tried most types of security, but the spec [2] says for maximum
  compatibility, most of the options should be left blank. Blank
  settings failed on both a and bg bands.

  How to reproduce:
  1. Create a secure hotspot (I am using this [1] script)
  2. Confirm that the hotspot is active and appears secured for other devices

  What happens:
  Connecting to it fails.

  What should have happened:
  Connecting to it should not fail.

  Excerpt from syslog
  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10627959/

  Insecure hotspots should work using this [3] script.
