Good evening,

I have tried to start a ad-hoc network over the D-Bus. I have used this command:

dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.setActiveDevice  objpath:'/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/#{sName}' string:'#{sESSID}'
dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.createWirelessNetwork objpath:'/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/eth2' string:'bah' uint32: 0x1  (IW_AUTH_CIPHER_NONE)

But it doesn't work.
I imagine, that the last parameter (> cipher (u)) is wrong. But I don't know, how I have to use it.


Please help

Thanks
Marco Franke
