Hello all, I have a T61 with Kubuntu Hardy freshly installed and fully upgraded and I want to connect it to an XP host with Internet Connection Sharing enabled. I have been able to do so successfully with an XP and a Vista with intel 4965, but with Hardy it is not working. Driver version: 1.2.25 The commands I use are: sudo ifconfig wlan0 down sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid blabla sudo ifconfig wlan0 up sudo dhclient wlan0 (no key is set) After this, the dhclient does never discover an IP through the dhcp server on the XP host. It gives wlan0:avahi an ip, but it's not 192.168.0.x. Configuring the IP manually does not work either. It looks as if there is not even communication between the devices. Ifconfig gives wlan0 with an associated cell, essid and ad-hoc mode, but signal level is 0. I have tried disabling ipv6 with no result. I have downloaded and tried compat-wireless from 2 days ago and it did not work either. However, it connected intermitently with an average of 91% of lost packets. Is this a bug? I opened a thread in ubuntuforums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=838775) and nobody replied. I searched in the mail list archives and the posts I found suggest that ad-hoc should be working fine.
