Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
"Create wireless network" correctly allows another computer to share an internet connection over a wireless interface. (If dnsmasq-base is installed) However if a client disconnects, e.g. my mac laptop goes to stand-by, it is unable to reconnect, and the wireless network must be recreated.
Once a wireless network is created for sharing, it should remain active through multiple disconnections and through rebooting. At the moment (Jaunty alpha 5), the encryption details of the connection are saved, but not the shared wireless network itself.
