Same on iwl4965 1.2.0 driver. There is a problem not in linux-image but in Network manager itself. It doesn't set mode ad-hoc. While connecting iwconfig iwl0 shows managed only. After turning off network manager, and manually configuration it worked fine.
If you want please make a little test. Turn off wireless network in netowork manager. Then open shell and write as follows: sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "SSID_of_your_net" sudo iwconfig key s:plaintextpassword_5_or_13_chars sudo ifconfig wlan0 up sudo dhclient wlan0 ^ this works fine on iwl4965 so should work under 3965 too. If it works for you that means that there is no bug in wifi driver only NM. I'm running cutting edge Hardy beta (2.6.24-12-server kernel) with network-manager version 0.6.6-0ubuntu4 -- iwl3945 doesn't support ad-hoc networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201597 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
