Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I'm trying to use NetworkManager to create an ad-hoc network with my
ipw2200. The following manual method works:
sudo iwconfig eth1 essid mynetwork channel 11 mode ad-hoc
(That is, the laptop next to me will then see the network)
However, when trying to do that with NetworkManager's "create wireless
network", the laptop next to me
will not see the network. Checking iwconfig shows that the essid and mode were
set properly - but unfortunately, one can't tell using iwconfig whether a
channel was set. However, running
sudo iwconfig eth1 channel 11
aftwards fixes the problem. NM should do this automatically.
** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu)
