Description Marco Chiappetta 2013-11-09 23:52:16 UTC 
Cannot enable AP mode if there are other saved networks. There is no way to "connect" to it (maybe a problem related to the UI?). No messages in the kernel's log.

See the screenshot here: http://i43.tinypic.com/rcoi2r.png

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a "Wireless (shared)" connection (AP mode)
2. Enable it -> It works, e.g. phone can connect to laptop
3. Connect to a new wireless network
4. There is no way to re-enable the previously created AP mode connection, no "connect" option in the "Connection editor" and the network doesn't show up in the applet
Actual Results:  
No way to re-enable AP mode.

Expected Results:  
The user should be able to re-enable AP mode with one of the saved "shared" connection profiles.

Kubuntu 13.10

It's probably duplicate of this bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326274. Can you try to compile the latest version from git? Otherwise you will have to wait for 0.9.3.2 version.

Thank you Jan, I couldn't find that one. I won't be able to use KDE for this week but I'll upgrade/compile as soon as I can.
