Ability to create open wifi hotspot
As far as I can tell nmcli and NetworkManager do not have the ability to create an open hotspot without implementing WPA or WEP. I have scoured the internet and tried every 802-11-wireless-security setting in the NetworkManager documentation attempting to disable wireless security in ap mode. Setting 802-11-wireless-security.key-mgmt=none just enables WEP and I can't find any setting to disable WEP or wireless security in general. I understand and respect security minded development however there are still valid reasons for configuring an access point unencumbered by passwords and keys. I believe NetworkManager's intent is "one stop shopping" for all of your network configuration so I am kindly requesting the ability to disable wifi security protocols using nmcli and NetworkManager. Thank you for your consideration.
