Confirmed still happening. I have 4 NICs. 2 Wireless cards (Ralink and Broadcom) and 2 Wired cards (Intel and Realtek). In the beginning the problem was with ALL NICs that I use to share a connection. After a couple of days the problem was solved for the Wireless cards in some update. At least the problem was solved for them but the problem is still present when I try to use a wired connection as shared. If I try to share with it it starts the endless loop of connecting and disconnecting.
Does not matter which of the 2 cards I use to share (Neither Intel or Realtek will work if I start a share method with them). I have to literally stop them and remove the sharing connection. -- 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/865001 Title: [regression] sharing a network with other computers no longer works in oneiric Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have been using my laptop to share a wireless network with my desktop using a wired connection eth0. This has worked well in Natty, but in Oneiric, this no longer works properly. I'll provide the steps I followed: 1) clean install of Oneiric 64bit from October 2nd. (I've used several others too with the same results) 2) set up wireless. No problems. 3) select the wired interface in nm-connection-editor, edit and Method: shared with other computers in the IPv4 page. What happens is that the network is configured and works, but only for a few seconds. Then the network goes into a loop of connect/disconnect. I can use the shared connection on the desktop to a certain degree, but it becomes extremely slow and things like IRC cannot be used since the connection is dropped every two seconds or so. If I boot a Natty live session, this works perfectly using the exact same settings. I will attach my syslog.
