Bug#834000: [Require for Feature] Should notice user when setting up wireless AP with a card that doesn't support AP mode

[Lumin]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.2.4-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I have a laptop with an intel wireless/pro 5100 AGN card installed,
and actually according to `sudo iw list` this card doesn't support
AP mode.

So if I click "set up wireless AP" from gnome panel's wireless
settings, network manager will pretend to be doing something and
finally end up with connecting to some other wifi.

​Can it say "Sorry your card doesn't support that."​?
The program behaviour I encountered is quite confusing to users.


​Please make this enhancement, thanks.​
