Yes I confirm the bug exists even today with all updates. Sharing the
network worked well for at least the last 3 releases of ubuntu.
Basically I choose "Shared" in the dhcp server, Now the connection keeps
connecting and disconnecting rapidly. That's all.

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.
