sharing an ad-hoc wireless connection only works initially

[Jack Wasey]

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.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Do you get the same with Karmic? Thanks in advance.
