[Bug 905748] Re: Create WPA2 adhoc is Open, not encrypted

 

Yes, please do. Either we fix it to properly set up WPA, or we remove
WPA from the list, but having it display WPA and actually set up
unencrypted is evil.

Title:
  Create WPA2 adhoc is Open, not encrypted

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

Bug description:
  When I create a new network with networkmanager, select wpa2 personal
  and enter a password, the network that gets created is actually Open.
  In the connection information on Ubuntu, the network ist shown as WPA2
  secured, but I can connect with other devices without entering any
  key. The network is discovered on windows and on Android (CM7) as
  OPEN!

  Using ubuntu 11.10, network-manager 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu5.1

  I couldn't find any reference to this behaviour on the net or in the bug tracker.
  bug 322902 seems similar

  Note: With standard Android, it's not possible to connect to an adhoc
  wifi. With cyanogenmod or other mods it's possible.
