[Bug 1434591] Re: [mako] Cannot connect to a secure, shared "ap" hotspot

 

@awe : sure it was not supposed to have been enabled and it will be
fixed in the next OTA apparently. But where's the problem preventing it
from working? Is it planned to fix this? Hotspot functionality is pretty
useful and was requested for a long time (it is available on the same
hardware in Android too)...

Title:
  [mako] Cannot connect to a secure, shared "ap" hotspot

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  $ system-image-cli -i
  current build number: 138
  device name: mako
  channel: ubuntu-touch/devel-proposed
  alias: ubuntu-touch/vivid-proposed
  last update: 2015-03-17 15:04:46
  version version: 138
  version ubuntu: 20150317.1
  version device: 20150210
  version custom: 20150317.1

  I have tried most types of security, but the spec [2] says for maximum
  compatibility, most of the options should be left blank. Blank
  settings failed on both a and bg bands.

  How to reproduce:
  1. Create a secure hotspot (I am using this [1] script)
  2. Confirm that the hotspot is active and appears secured for other devices

  What happens:
  Connecting to it fails.

  What should have happened:
  Connecting to it should not fail.

  Excerpt from syslog
  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10627959/

  Insecure hotspots should work using this [3] script.
