Are both machines running Ubuntu, and are they using the same version? Can you provide the debug logs for wpasupplicant? This would likely shed more light on the problem.
Furthermore, I'd be very interested on output such as what the Android "Wifi Analyzer" app is saying about the created network, if that output is feasible to obtain. It's usually pretty good at saying exactly how the scanned/detected network is configured, and if it was correctly created as WEP-128 with a passphrase rather than using the passphrase as a hex key or something. -- 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/1032433 Title: Using WEP 128-bit Passphrase, Ad-hoc connection cannot be established Status in OEM Priority Project: In Progress Status in OEM Priority Project precise series: In Progress Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: When setting up an ad-hoc wifi connection, if choose "WEP 128-bit Passphrase", the connection cannot be established.
