My testing showed having IPv6 set to Ignore was working perfectly. If it
doesn't work for you, maybe there's something else having an impact.
Could you please attach the full NetworkManager log after reproducing
the issue (with ipv6 ignore of course)?

The only gotcha for this is that you need to make sure dnsmasq is killed
off before you start re-testing, because it *does* get started by NM...
The issue is caused by the fact that it gets started twice with the same
settings, the second time always fails, which triggers the connection to
be marked as failed.

Setting the bug to incomplete now, if you find that it fixes the issue
(note that we now ship network-manager-gnome 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu6 which
defaults to ipv6 disable for new ad-hoc networks; although you will
still need to apply the change manually to those already created),
please set it to Fix Released or Invalid... If not and you can attach
more information, then please set your bug back to New. :)

Title:
  [regression] sharing a network with other computers no longer works in
  oneiric

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have been using my laptop to share a wireless network with my
  desktop using a wired connection eth0. This has worked well in Natty,
  but in Oneiric, this no longer works properly. I'll provide the steps
  I followed:

  1) clean install of Oneiric 64bit from October 2nd. (I've used several others too with the same results)
  2) set up wireless. No problems.
  3) select the wired interface in nm-connection-editor, edit and Method: shared with other computers in the IPv4 page. 

  What happens is that the network is configured and works, but only for
  a few seconds. Then the network goes into a loop of
  connect/disconnect. I can use the shared connection on the desktop to
  a certain degree, but it becomes extremely slow and things like IRC
  cannot be used since the connection is dropped every two seconds or
  so.

  If I boot a Natty live session, this works perfectly using the exact
  same settings. I will attach my syslog.
