Bug#858870: gnome-control-center: Can't turn on hotspot

[Fran Glais]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.22.2-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I can no longer use the built-in wireless Hotspot feature. When I click "Use as
Hotspot" in the Settings->Network->Wi-Fi section, and then "Turn on", nothing
happens.

* What led up to the situation?
I updated gnome-control-center to 3.22.2-1.

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
To fix the issue, I downgraded gnome-control-center to 3.22.1-2.

* What was the outcome of this action?
The Hostpot works as expected.

* Other info:
sudo journalctl -f /usr/bin/gnome-control-center

to disk: 802-11-wireless.ssid: property is missing
