Title:
  Creating hotspot leads to endless connect/disconnect loop

Status in “dnsmasq” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  - Create Hotspot via "System Settings > Network > Wireless > Hotspot" or manually in the network-manager
  - What I expected:
  * Hotspot is created, clients can use internet connection
  - What happened instead:
  * The new connection connects and disconnects after a second, when "autoconnect" is enabled, this happens very fast in a endless loop.

  I think this error message in the log causes the failure:
  > dnsmasq[5213]: failed to create listening socket for 10.42.43.1: Address already in use
  > dnsmasq[5213]: FAILED to start up
