Public bug reported:
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.
