Description Volkan 2013-10-19 17:39:00 UTC

Creating a shared wireless network is problematic. Sometimes the network may not be reachable and it is not being listed on devices.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a shared wireless network from wired
2. Make it available on other devices
3. Disconnect from the same computer that the connection has been created
4. Create another connection
Actual Results:  
New created network cannot be seen in either of the devices.

Expected Results:  
Nmanager and other device should list the connection with its SSID.

Which plasma networkmanagement applet do you use? The old one or the new one called plasma-nm? If you use the latest Kubuntu 13.10, then you use the new one.

Comment 2 Volkan 2013-10-20 11:21:16 UTC

Yes, it is the new one. I am using Kubuntu 13.10 and removed the old applet.

Allow to have same connections under different names

i.e you can have two connections for some AP with different IPv4 configuration, before there was only one of them

Comment 4 Jan Grulich 2013-10-30 15:02:29 UTC

The issue when you disconnect a shared connection and this connection is removed is already fixed in master. The fix above probably fixes the second part of your issue when you create a shared connection with ssid which already exists.

Comment 5 Volkan 2013-11-11 11:20:10 UTC

Should this patch have affected version 4.11.3? Because I'm having the same problem.

Comment 6 Jan Grulich 2013-11-11 11:48:17 UTC

It doesn't depend on version of KDE, plasma-nm is distributed separately.
