Version: (using KDE 4.3.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I try connect to another computer via WiFi AdHoc on few distros (Kubuntu, openSUSE with KDE DM) but WiFi AdHoc couldn't work in KDE (KNetworkManager) environment, but in GNOME DM (Ubuntu, openSUSE with GNOME) WiFi AdHoc work fine. Specific information: network card: Atheros Ip: set manual on both computer's Security: used WEP passphrase

+1 running KDE 4.4 beta (KDE Backports PPA) clicking the ad-hoc button in knetworkmanager has no effect
I try to use the AdHoc feature of KDE 4.4 and it does not work. Like the comment from Gary Tang I clicked the ad-hoc button in Knetwork manager and it did not have any effect. It would be a great improvement if you can get this feature to work on KDE. I use an XPS M1330 with a dell wireless card. Please get it to work?

Created attachment 58578 [details] patch to enable creation of adhoc networks I have hacked together a patch which should let you create Ad-Hoc networks. As I have only one computer avalable, I could not test it properly, however after activating knemo says I'm connected and iwlist scan reports the new network, so since the networkmanager daemon is handling the hardware, I am assuming that this is functional. I only had a chance to look at the monolithic UI, I don't know if this works with the plasmoid.

Created attachment 58612 [details] now able to select band and channel in the GUI Attached patch makes the user able to select the band (a or b/g) as well as the channel if he attempts to create an adhoc connection. Tested with configshell standalone. The a band does not work, created networks are still in b/g. However, this appears to be a bug in the network manager daemon, as the gnome nm-applet is also unable to create a network in the a-band, or maybe my drivers are buggy (using intel link 5100). The setting is however saved to the config file and put on dbus (tested with qdbus).
