Package: linux-wlan-ng
Version: 0.2.4+svn20060808-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
The Networking applet in gnome-system-tools have no option for network
mode and nothing gets specified on this in /etc/network/interfaces. Most
users are using a "infrastructure" mode network.
However, linux-wlan-ng defaults to "ad-hoc" mode if nothing is specified.
This is also not consistent with other network drivers for other cards.
The patch reverts the default to "infrastructure" instead.
This bug has been reported in Ubuntu as well:
