It's somewhat expected. After all, 'GNOME network settings' is simply a
front-end to Network Manager. And the Network Manager's ability to, um,
manage the network settings is questionable in such cases.

Since the Network Manager does not do what you're expecting from it in
the first place - it's no wonder that hotspotd fails on you.

But why? Using hostapd directly is much cleaner and easier solution.
Still, if you're really wish to go that road - file the wnpp bug report
against this hostspotd and don't forget to find a maintainer for such
package. Sending e-mails to Debian *User* maillist won't help acception
of hotspotd at all.
