Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
I'm trying to use NetworkManager to create an ad-hoc network with my ipw2200. The following manual method works:
sudo iwconfig eth1 essid mynetwork channel 11 mode ad-hoc
(That is, the laptop next to me will then see the network)
However, when trying to do that with NetworkManager's "create wireless network", the laptop next to me
will not see the network. Checking iwconfig shows that the essid and mode were set properly - but unfortunately, one can't tell using iwconfig whether a channel was set. However, running
sudo iwconfig eth1 channel 11
aftwards fixes the problem. NM should do this automatically.

Very same problem here with ipw3945. Quite a disappointment for me, since I hoped I will not have to touch the command-line for network configuration in Feisty.
