Using nm-applet, one is able to create an ad-hoc wireless network connection that is shared to other computers and is only available to the current user. But if one selects 'available to all users' and saves the settings, the method in the IPv4 settings tab is saved as 'Automatic (DHCP)' instead of the intended 'shared to other computers'. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Using nm-applet, select 'Edit Connections...' and add a new wireless connection. 2. In the 'Wireless' tab, input any SSID and select 'Mode' as 'Ad-hoc'. 3. In the 'IPv4 Settings' tab, select 'Method' as 'Shared to other computers. 4. In the 'Wireless Security' tab, select 'Security' as 'WEP 40/128-bit Key' and assign any key. 5. Select 'Available to all users' checkbox at the bottom and save. 6. Re-edit the connection to verify the saved details. Actual Results: On saving, 'Method' is set to 'Automatic (DHCP) in the 'IPv4 Settings' tab and the connection does not get shared to other computers. Expected Results: In IPv4 settings, 'Method' should be saved as 'Shared to other computers' as intended. gnome-extra/nm-applet-0.8.2 was used.

Hi, I guess there's something wrong with the ifnet plug-in. For now You have to remove it from /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf or just not to create system-wide connection. I'll see what exactly happened to ifnet plug-in.

Could you please add my overlay 'qiaomuf' and see if networkmanager-0.8.2-r100.ebuild works for you. Actually ifnet plug-in should support adhoc network but it's not been tested yet. So your feedback is a great help. If you need any help, please let me know.
Just wanted to add that NetworkManager has been a great help and add-hoc networking is working once X starts up. Of course would be great if it was system-wide. I tried networkmanager-0.8.2-r100 from your overlay and it exits with signal 11 for some reason.

net-misc/networkmanager-0.8.2-r101 is not crashing. Ad-hoc networking is available on stopping X. But the created connection disappears on restarting NetworkManager.

I made another revision bump which should fix the disappearance problem.
yes, the system-wide ad-hoc connection works properly until NetworkManager is restarted.
(In reply to comment #14) > yes, the system-wide ad-hoc connection works properly until NetworkManager is > restarted. > Did you tried networkmanager-0.8.2-r102? If it's still not working, could you please paste your log here? I have difficulties in testing ad-hoc network but I think the connection won't disappear for 0.8.2-r102. Note that after restarting, you have to reconnect to your AP manually via nm-applet if you haven't made it automatically connect. If everything is OK, I will close the bug and make the patch available in portage. Thanks.
To help make the log more useful, I add a revision bump networkmanager-0.8.2-r103. It may also solve the problem. Before trying anything, merge it please. Thanks
I've sync'ed the qiaomuf overlay but am not able to see any ebuilds for networkmanager-0.8.2-r102 or networkmanager-0.8.2-r103...

i tried networkmanager-0.8.2-r103, but the created connection disappears in nm-applet on restarting NetworkManager and it doesn't connect automatically. the connection is still present in wpa_supplicant.conf and /etc/conf.d/net

I guess your connection lost wpa psk in wpa_supplicant.conf after restarting NM. I made another revision bump r104 which will not delete old psk anymore. Hope this time it will work.
Fixed in CVS. If there's still anything wrong, please feel free to reopen.
Not been able to update as have been busy. Shared System Ad-hoc works fine now and connection is persisted fine. Only one small issue that it doesn't start the connection automatically when networkmanager is started the first time after boot. It connects and works fine after restarting networkmanager. If needed this bug can be reopened.
