[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#781187: Cannot create wired hotspot (Ethernet connection with "Shared to other computers")

[Josh Triplett]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.9.10.0-2
Severity: important

With nm-connection-editor, it's possible to create an Ethernet
connection with IPv4 set to "Shared to other computers", which launches
dnsmasq and shares the connectivity obtained via wireless/modem/etc to
the wired connection.  However, the GNOME UI for Network Manager does
not offer the same option; it only offers a wireless hotspot option, and
when editing a connection, it does not understand the "Shared to other
computers" option (showing it as blank if opening such a connection
created in nm-connection-editor).
