I found a workaround to this issue: - kill any running dnsmasq process. (or restart computer afterwards) - Disable IPv6 in the Hotspot settings. (IPv6: Ignore) - restart the Hotspot
--- The default settings of the Hotspot in Oneiric are: - IPv4: Shared with other Computers - IPv6: Automatic When selecting "IPv6: Ignore" everything works as expected. Suggesting to change the default settings of the Hotspot-feature, because I think IPv6 is not really necessary for Ad-Hoc Networks in order to work around this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/857294 Title: Creating hotspot leads to endless connect/disconnect loop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/857294/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
