Comment 8 for bug 201597

I solved more or less my problem by putting the target ad-hoc wifi card in access point emulation mode (its my gateway, and has to run Windows so I had to use the proprietary module instead of the standard windows control which has no option for this mode). However, Network Manager still has trouble setting the key and/or getting an IP; definitely, this piece of software seems totally useless for me with at least 3 different setups & wifi cards. In command-line mode everything is OK.
