Public bug reported:
On my Eee PC 901 with a Ralink RT2860 wireless card, I am unable to use
(create or join) ad-hoc networks. (Currently testing on Jaunty beta)
When I use NetworkManager to create one, it correctly scans the area for
the network as normal (and times out like normal). If a peer joins the
network, it shows a connected status, and then quickly changes to a
disconnected status.
The behaviour is consistent (consistently frustrating, obviously); I
have never been able to get it to work with an ad-hoc network. I have
now tried both the 1.7.1.1 driver (reportedly most feature complete) and
the 1.8.0.0 driver (the one shipping with Jaunty beta); both produce
exactly the same behaviour. Please help!
