Please read what Tony Espy has written about the differences of ad-hoc and access point networks once again.
You can't "create a network with the gnome panel applet" to connect to an access point. That doesn't work. Never. Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_LAN#Types_of_wireless_LANs for more informations. In short words: "Create network" is when you want to connect 2 computers without an access point. (connecting 2 computers with wpa does not work in ubuntu, actually but that's another bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network- manager/+bug/322902 ) Can you connect with Ubuntu 9.04 at your home to your access point? (maybe try livecd) ** Changed in: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- can't connect to a WPA encrypted network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406726 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
