[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#874171: network-manager-gnome: nm-connection-editor allows only 'shared' ip configuration for AP

[Vladimir Kudrya]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 1.8.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer, when wi-fi Hotspot mode is selected, nm-connection-editor does not allow
any ip configuration except 'shared' or disabled. Other options are greyed out.

This contradicts NetworkManager's abilities. Nmtui and nmcli also support other ip configurations
for hotspot connections. Therefore GUI has unnecessary restrictions.
