To get Internet access for my iPad using US 11.10 I now try nm. I still need help.
On Debian users mailing list ( http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/02/ ) we managed to get it "semi-working" ;) on US 11.10: -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Ralf Mardorf <ralf.mard...@alice-dsl.net> To: debian-user <debian-u...@lists.debian.org> Subject: Re: How to share the Internet with Linux and an iPad by Wi-Fi?

I edited it by using nm-connection-editor, after that the nm-applet appeared automatically and after enabling wireless, the applet showed networks from my neighborhood. After a while the Linux network was shown by the iPad, then I lost the connection. I disabled and enabled wireless, but nothing happened. I'll reboot. I still wonder, if I need to set addresses and what username and password to use. Settings now are: Connection name: Wireless connection 1 [x] Connect automatically [x] Available to all users Tab "Wireless" SSID: oz Mode: Ad-hoc Band: Automatic (Channel: default) BSSID: Device MAC address: Cloned MAC adresse: MTU: automatic Tab "IPv4 Settings" Method: Shared to other computers (Adress: Netmask: Gateway: DNS servers: Search domains: DHCP client ID:) [x] Require IPv4 addressing for this connection to complete (Nothing edited for "Routes...") Nothing edited for tab "IPv6 Settings" Tab "Wireless security" Security: WE 128-bit Passphrase Key: 1234567890 I only enabled wireless, the DSL connection isn't set up by nm, it was set up by pppoeconf and starts automatically at startup. After rebooting the nm-applet appeared automatically and a notification is displayed: "Network Disconnected - you are offline" Anyway I can surf the Internet using Firefox, but indeed, Evolution can't connect. I enabled networking. Evolution now is connected. Wireless isn't enabled, but the neighborhood's networks are shown by the applet. The iPad shows the Linux network oz. Again and again authentication is required by Linux. I'm always using "1234567890" and then always push connect. After a while, when I tried to set up the iPad, the network "oz" can't be found anymore, the USB adapter's LED indeed change it's notification flashing. Enabling wireless doesn't change anything. I still wonder what settings I have to do for the iPad, username, password, of my provider? "oz" and this "1234567890" key? I'll change it, when it's working ;). I'll backup the install now and continue later.
