This is still happening with a fully patched version of Karmic (9.10). When trying to connect to an ad-hoc network (with WPA2 hosted on a Windows 7 machine), nm-applet exits with:
ERROR:applet.c:334:applet_menu_item_activate_helper_part2: assertion failed: (connection) Aborted I can also confirm (as Ximatz wrote) that it does not happen with WEP enabled or in no-encryption (open) mode. However, WEP is completely inappropriate for this task... sharing an internet connection wirelessly requires good encryption. I noticed this bug has been categorized as new/undecided since November. Are there any plans to address this? -- network-manager-applet crashes on connecting to Vista hosted ad-hoc wireless subnet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479085 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
