A couple of comments... Currently Ubuntu uses "adhoc" for it's Hotspot functionality. This seems at odds with what other OSes do. Both OSX and Android use mode=Master which is what's used by Access Points.
When our Hotspot is run in adhoc mode, it: 1. Is invisible to Android, as Android implements Wi-Fi direct. The Wi- Fi scan list filters out all adhoc networks, and the Wi-Fi Direct settings page doesn't show any present adhoc network either. 2. iOS and OSX both show Adhoc networks as "Devices" ( a separate sub- menu item in the WiFi menu ) vs. just being listed with the other available Wi-Fi networks. 3. Some iOS or OSX devices may display a warning about the hotspot not being connected to the Internet, although once connected, Internet connectivity is provided. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1337753 Title: [mako] can not create an ad-hoc network To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-mako/+bug/1337753/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
