Hey all, I just tried out the Intrepid Ibex Alpha 6 and was able to create an ad-hoc network out of the box, but not through NetworkManager.
My setup, MacBook 2,1 Atheros Communications Inc. AR5418 802.11abgn Wireless PCI Express Adapter [168c:0024] (rev 01) card. At first I tried setting wlan0 to ad-hoc mode and creating the network through NetworkManager, but the closest I got was stage 5, where it would fail: [code]Sep 28 07:12:48 ubuntu NetworkManager: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 5 of 5 (IP Configure Commit) started...

I'm able to connect to the network from my phone.
