Thanks for reporting it. Could you elaborate? In particular: - please attach output from "reportbug --template linux-image-$(uname -r)", so we can get to know your configuration and hardware - what commands do you use to set up an ad hoc connection? See [1] for hints on ruling out problems from networkmanager and other higher-level tools when working on wireless bugs, and for hints on getting an event log. How do you know it failed? Any other hints or weird symptoms? - please attach full "dmesg" output from booting up and attempting to connect in ad-hoc mode. If you have time to test the attached patch[2], that might also be useful. Hope that helps, Jonathan [1] http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Documentation/Reporting_bugs [2] see http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s4.2.2 or the corresponding page in the debian-kernel-handbook package for instructions.
