If the wifi interface is connected using an adhoc connection, then it should show that in the applet just like it shows connections to a real AP. > Is there a security policy to prevent autoconnecting to wireless > ad-hoc? By default all users can create Ad-Hoc networks through the UI, but using PolicyKit an admin is able to restrict this. > If so, can anyone tell me where to edit this beahiviour from source? > I appoligise for beeing so insistent but I relly need this. Plain wifi ad-hoc connections are autoconnected if the adhoc network already exists in the scan results, but they are not automatically created (ie, this machine is the first one to join the adhoc network, ie it doesn't exist yet in scan results).

Re: Show Hidden network from connection file
Anyone? Is not possible to at least show in the apllet an ad-hoc connection crated form a connection file? Is there a security policy to prevent autoconnecting to wireless ad-hoc? If so, can anyone tell me where to edit this beahiviour from source? I appoligise for beeing so insistent but I relly need this.

Re: Show Hidden network from connection file
Thankyou for your reply. Do you know if there is any way to autoconnect to an ad-hoc wifi network even if it was never used before? I'm trying to set up a connection file to requiere the less user intervention. ps: sorry for my english... 2011/11/14 Jirka Klimes > On Tuesday 01 of November 2011 01:29:26 marcos m. wrote: > > Hello!

Timestamp doesn't affect connection visibility, it only shows if/when the connection was used last. You don't see it in nm-applet, because the items nm-applet shows are visible SSIDs. As your network is hidden, it won't be shown until you connect. You should see the configured connection profile in nm-connection-editor, though. "Last Used" column represent timestamp.

Show Hidden network from connection file
Hello! I'm trying to write a connection file that is going to be distributed on many computers. It configures a wireless ad hoc connection, everything works fine except that the connection doesn't appears on the nm-applet in gnome, it is only accessible from 'hidden networks'. I would like it to be available from the beginning so i changed the timestamp from 0 to 1 but it didn't showed up. What else or what files can I edit to make the connection looks like it has been already used? Thanks, Marcos. ___ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
