@sokai: Has this bug been fixed in Ubuntu 12.04? ** Summary changed:
- Can't connect to a Ad-hoc network on Oneiric + Can't connect to (unencrypted) ad-hoc network -- Ralink RT2860 rt2800pci ** Summary changed: - Can't connect to (unencrypted) ad-hoc network -- Ralink RT2860 rt2800pci + Can't connect to (unencrypted) ad-hoc network; iwconfig+dhclient works -- Ralink RT2860 rt2800pci ** Summary changed: - Can't connect to (unencrypted) ad-hoc network; iwconfig+dhclient works -- Ralink RT2860 rt2800pci + Can't connect to (unencrypted) ad-hoc network; iwconfig+dhclient works; manually setting ESSID (which wasn't set by NM) fixes it -- Ralink RT2860 rt2800pci -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876350 Title: Can't connect to (unencrypted) ad-hoc network; iwconfig+dhclient works; manually setting ESSID (which wasn't set by NM) fixes it -- Ralink RT2860 rt2800pci Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Since my upgrade to Oneiric I can't connect to the unencrypted Ad-hoc network of my Freifunk community anymore. :( If I use the (Unity) network-indicator the connection can't be established. I have an ASUS EeePC 1000 with the Ralink RT2860 chip. With Oneiric my system uses the rt2800pci kernel module. (I did no changes to the modules or the GRUB command line etc..) After digging around I found out the following. 1. During the connection process to the ad-hoc network with the ESSID "www.freifunk-potsdam.de" I can see this three lines in my /var/log/syslog: wpa_supplicant[2650]: Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out. wpa_supplicant[2650]: Trying to associate with SSID 'www.freifunk-potsdam.de' wpa_supplicant[2650]: Association request to the driver failed 2. I can establish a connection if I do it manually by: $> iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc $> iwconfig wlan0 essid "www.freifunk-potsdam.de" $> dhclient wlan0 3. During the connection process - initiated by clicking on my network in the network-indicator - I can see that my wlan0 device hasn't set an ESSID. - So for me its clear why I can't connect. Without a assigned ESSID I cen't get an IP address. "iwconfig wlan0" during the connection process is: wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any Mode:Ad-Hoc Frequency:2.412 GHz Cell: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off 4. If I set the ESSID manually during the connection process - initiated by clicking on my network in the network-indicator - by "iwconfig wlan0 essid 'www.freifunk-potsdam.de'" the connection becomes established and I get an IP address at the end. To sum it up: During the connection process for an ad-hoc network during the network-indicator the ESSID is not set and so no connection can be established. I would be happy if you can give me an hint for fixing this. :) Thanks and best regards!
