I remember in past I used ad-hoc wireless connections with WPA security (not 100% sure, but I have vague memories)
At a certain point, Fedora KDE started having problems with the security of ad-hoc connections: if you create a new ad-hoc connection, when you select WPA security everything seems okay, the KDE network manager shows you that your "new ad-hoc connection" is secure (you see the green shield). But if you check with another device, the ad-hoc connection is not secure at all.
I created a bugreport, I don't remember if I opened it in Fedora bugzilla or KDE bugzilla, but I have been told that it is a Gnome networkmanager fault, so I had to open a bugreport in Gnome bugzilla.
Today, various months later that bugreport, I was ordering my ideas to make a Gnome bugreport. To do that, I looked for my past bugreport, without success, but I found a strange bugreport submitted by Vladimir Benes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=787733 He says this it is a kernel problem, because it cannot create ad-hoc connection secured with WPA encryption.
To this point I do not know any more what to think.
What do kernel developers say about? Having the possibility of creating ad-hoc wireless connection is quiet important in some situations.
