Bug Description

Binary package hint: wicd

I'm using the intel iwl3945 driver. Create a network in windows7. furthermore, connect a dsl router, or clearwire usb, etc to the windows 7 machine. turn on internet connection sharing, set a wep or wpa password. you will not be able to connect. for some reason network-manager and wicd cannot handle the ad-hoc connection. I am able to connect with no encryption using iwconfig, but this is not wireless that "Just Works"
