Description Claudio Saavedra 2011-04-20 17:29:54 UTC

Description of problem:

With Fedora 14, I could connect without problems to a ad-hoc network. Now I can't anymore.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

All updates installed on Fedora 15 Beta.

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an ad-hoc network with WEP security in a different laptop.
2. Try to connect using network manager.
3. It always fails.
  
Actual results:

The connection is not established. wpa_supplicant.log shows:

Trying to associate with SSID 'sopapiglobo'
Association request to the driver failed
Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out.

Expected results:

That the connection is established properly.

Additional info:

This is an intel card in a lenovo x201 using the iwlagn driver. This was working fine in Fedora 14.

I can confirm this bug on my Realtek card. Works in F14 but no longer in F15. I also can't find a GUI to create a new Ad-Hoc network, and even if I create one in nm-connection-editor, it fails to connect.

Comment 2 Michael Colligan 2011-04-21 19:19:41 UTC

Same here.  I'm guessing it is N-M related.  Worked fine in F14.  I don't believe WPA2 Ent, ad-hoc, or mobile broadband are working.
