The NetworkManager devs must have had then 11 months from this message

support built-in [2]*

*Is anyone even thinking about these issues? why not?*

*My Windows 8.1 tablet handles Miracast displays seamlessly, I just go
to the windows settings -> display and an option appears dubbed
"connect to wireless display". 10 seconds later mi main display is
mirrored on the big screen TV. Lovely.*
