Hi!
When activating the Hotspot function of Network Manager, I get this
message in the dmesg output:

[ 103.984693] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
However, the hotspot function does seem to work, because I can connect
my Android telephone to the resulting network. The internet is connected
through eth0 on the laptop. I do seem to have some network problems
(stopping of downloads) from my Android phone for large downloads, so
perhaps that is related to this dmesg output. But I have not used the
Android + Hotspot + Laptop enough to say for sure yet. But I guess the
above error message should be fixed anyway.
I'm on a Lenovo T530 laptop running an updated Debian Sid, but using
networkmanager (0.9.8.8-1) from the experimental distribution, and the
most recent Debian subversion repository version of wpasupplicant
(v.1.1-1). I had to update network-manager and wpasupplicant due to some
other problems. The kernel comes from the Debian
packagelinux-image-3.11-2-amd64:
$ uname -a
Linux lenovo 3.11-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.11.10-1 (2013-12-04) x86_64
GNU/Linux
and this is the lspci output for the wireless card:
