[Bug 201597] Re: iwl3945 doesn't support ad-hoc networks [change package hint to nework-manager]

[Barteq]

Same on iwl4965 1.2.0 driver. There is a problem not in linux-image but
in Network manager itself. It doesn't set mode ad-hoc. While connecting
iwconfig iwl0 shows managed only. After turning off network manager, and
manually configuration it worked fine.

If you want please make a little test.

Turn off wireless network in netowork manager. Then open shell and write
as follows:

sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "SSID_of_your_net"
sudo iwconfig key s:plaintextpassword_5_or_13_chars
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
sudo dhclient wlan0

^ this works fine on iwl4965 so should work under 3965 too. If it works
for you that means that there is no bug in wifi driver only NM.

I'm running cutting edge Hardy beta (2.6.24-12-server kernel) with
network-manager version 0.6.6-0ubuntu4
