I checked the behaviour of previous releases with LiveCDs. On 11.04 creating a WPA WLAN leads to an open network. On 10.10 I saw a WEP secured net (in Wifi Analyzer, Android) but the connection information in Ubuntu said WPA.
I think it's the behaviour or Ubuntu 10.10 which led me to think it worked in a previous release, because I was asked for a password, but I wasn't aware, that it wasn't WPA but WEP. I'm sorry for the confusion. -- 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/905748 Title: Create WPA2 adhoc is Open, not encrypted Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: When I create a new network with networkmanager, select wpa2 personal and enter a password, the network that gets created is actually Open. In the connection information on Ubuntu, the network ist shown as WPA2 secured, but I can connect with other devices without entering any key. The network is discovered on windows and on Android (CM7) as OPEN! Using ubuntu 11.10, network-manager 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu5.1 I couldn't find any reference to this behaviour on the net or in the bug tracker. bug 322902 seems similar Note: With standard Android, it's not possible to connect to an adhoc wifi. With cyanogenmod or other mods it's possible.
