Re: Connection sharing with WPA/WPA2
What type of wifi card? It may be that driver issues prevent the wifi card from completing the WPA Ad-Hoc network. WPA Ad-Hoc is more complex than WEP ad-hoc and there have been kernel driver issues with that configuration in the past. What kernel version are you using, what wifi hardware, and what wifi driver?

Actually it does; you can't connect to a WPA2-only Ad-Hoc network with the current wpa_supplicant and Linux kernel drivers. So that means NM can't use those networks. But they are quite rare.

Re: Connection sharing with WPA/WPA2
Are you sure the network is even established? Can you ping the other host? You mentioned ad-hoc. I've noticed NetworkManager has problems establishing AdHoc networks using WPA. For the network doesn't establish in the first place, so sharing won't work. Maybe this is your problem as well? try pinging the other host.

Yes, but the simplest solution for me is to just use Create New Wireless Network in NetworkManager, use WEP64, and everything works. Looking in NetworkManager it tells me that it is an Adhoc network. I received an answer that WPA(2) mode in Adhoc mode is not in the specification.
