My aim is to make my Ubuntu machine be a wireless accesspoint using wifi. Of course I found two AskUbuntu questions already treating that; this one and that one.
Nevertheless, as far as I am concerned I would like to set up such a network in the Graphical User Interface (GUI) way. Please avoid solutions with the command line. So a solution suggesting to use Network Manager would be really welcomed.
Please name and describe very precisely each step, so I can easily find the equivalent in my own language.
Thank you for your answers!
If useful for any, here is the output of sudo lshw -c network
