[SOLVED]Unable to create hotspot Gnome network manager

I'm unable to create hotspot using network-manager of Gnome.
By click on 'use as hotspot'-> 'Turn on', nothing is happening.No config files are being created either.I have installed almost all optional dependencies of networkmanager except for bluez and ppp.
The device i'm using is TP link TL-WW722N.

Re: [SOLVED]Unable to create hotspot Gnome network manager

I used create_ap(https://github.com/oblique/create_ap).

pacman -S create_ap

sudo create_ap -m bridge wifi_interface ethernet_interface test_arch vinod123

Note:You wont be able to browse internet on the host. Use NAT rather than bridge.I

Re: [SOLVED]Unable to create hotspot Gnome network manager

Hi, I also have this error. Nothing happens when setting up a hotspot in NetworkManager.

I managed to create a hotspot with create_ap without issues, but anyone knows what's the problem with NetworkManager?
