André, I think you are not the only one disappointed ...

But there was a (wired) tethering solution,  that I confirmed 2 months ago (haven't tried on newer OTA versions):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus-property-service/+bug/1427697 more specifically:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus-property-service/+bug/1427697/comments/5

Has anyone succeeded with this work-around on current OTA versions?
If so, it would be easy to polish this work-around with some scripts or similar and put the resulting description at some more prominent place (where?).

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.
