Over the past few weeks, I too had felt the need to have my machine serve up a wireless hotspot. Unless I am horribly mistaken, the GNOME frontend to NetworkManager as offered in Debian 8 only supports WEP from the GUI. This is also the case with nm-applet. But, the KDE frontend to NetworkManager, i.e., plasma-nm _does_ offer a way using the GUI to create a WPA hotspot. I bit the bullet, installed just plasma-nm, set up the hotspot, and then got rid of plasma-nm and its dependencies. Hope this helps somewhat. -- Udyant Wig p.s. The GNOME version of Fedora, now termed Workstation, can create a hotspot.
