Bug Description
Using vivid on krillin
Background:
From the spec on networking [1]:
A hotspot requires Wi-Fi to work. To warn you that turning off Wi-Fi will turn off the hotspot, whenever Hotspot is on, the “Wi-Fi” switch wherever it appears (in the quick-access area, in the “Wi-Fi” screen, and in the network menu) should instead be “Wi-Fi used for hotspot”. In addition, turning on Flight Mode should warn that it will turn off Hotspot.
Reproduce:
Start an AP hotspot using [2]
What happens:
1. The network indicator gives no indication that turning off Wi-Fi will disable the hotspot
2. Flight mode silently disables hotspot and does not restore it after being turned off
3. The AP looks like any 'normal', connected network
What should happen:
1. The Wi-Fi switch should have a different label (see [1])
2. Going into flight mode should yield a warning
3. The AP should probably be visually separated from 'normal' networks

Added to UX since I think 3. needs to be reconsidered or clarified. Is the AP really to be completely similar to all other networks? Thanks
