I'm using NetworkManager 0.9.1.90 (just installed yesterday; I've been using 0.9.0 for a while) and KNetworkManager from git. I have never been able to get a working ad-hoc network between two Linux machines - only when I create it with Windows and connect to it with a Linux machine.
Here's my setup in KNetworkManager: SSID: 1337 Mode: Ad-Hoc Band: b/g Channel: 3 BSSID: <blank> Restrict to Interface: Any Cloned MAC Address: <blank> MTU: Automatic IPv4 Address: Link-Local IPv6 Address: disabled results of route from command line of desktop computer Kerne IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 2 0 0 wlan0 224.0.0.0 * 240.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0 Settings are the same on desktop and laptop computers. Link-Local is the only setting that will work at all under IPv4 settings. DHCP results: attempts to connect but fails. I have dhcpcd set to fallback to zeroconf, but that doesn't work with NM. I haven't had any luck with static IPs either. When using Link-Local, however, I can connect to the network easily. Then I can walk over to my laptop, use KNetworkManager's scan feature and identify the essid I created on the desktop. I have to change IPv4 settings to Link-Local, but everything else is usually identified correctly. Then I save and can connect - apparently. If I look at the network usage statistics of KNetworkManager, the graph indicates network activity for a few moments at the time I attempt to join the network, but then it goes back to zero never to do anything else. I cannot ping either machine from the other. I have tried this with no encryption at all for troubleshooting and with WPA Personal just to see what would happen - both with the exact same results (when I tried encryption, it even asked for my passphrase before connecting, so that seemed to work). Once I get this solved, I want to be able to share internet connection over wifi. Any ideas what's wrong? -- Patrick McMunn - Learn more about the Catholic Faith: http://www.catholic.com/ - Pray with the Church: http://www.universalis.com/ _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
