I had a adhoc wifi network setup fine but now with Network Manager I can't seem to get it working. I've followed all the tutorials in google (related to new Network Manager) and the GUI even caters for it but no luck. Anyone else succeeded and willing to share their network file? This is my current attempt - doesn't work.



Network is visible in nm-applet and I can try to connect but always fails. syslog says:

I've also tried with/without security, static IP, and band selection.

  • Did you edit the network settings using nm-connection editor? If you use nm-connection-editor in Ubuntu 18.04 to change the hotspot password and you use the default WPA & WPA2 Personal security, devices may not be able to connect to your hotspot, displaying an authentication / incorrect password error. At least this is how it worked in my case, using Ubuntu 18.04 to create the hotspot and an Android phone to connect to it. If that's the case, try starting over and only edit the file manually.
