Public bug reported:

Step to reproduce :
go to settings > Network
click on "Use as hotspot"

Expected result:
It displays the connexion information and the network can be seen by other devices.

Actual :
Connexion informations are displayed, but no wifi network seems to have been created.

I'm actually not sure  network-manager is the right package, but in
/var/log/syslog I have:
