Adhoc: IPV4 setting 'link-local'

[Simon Schampijer <simon schampijer de>]

Hi,

creating a wireless adhoc network setting the property 'method' of the 
setting 'ipv4' to 'link-local' does give me the following error: 
"nm_device_wifi_set_mode(): error setting card wlan0 to mode 2: Device 
or resource busy".

Using the property 'shared' does work fine. I have tested with nm-applet 
(you can edit the properties of the network in the edits menu as 
nm-applet set the property to 'shared' by default) and tried it from 
sugar over the dbus interface, too.

I see this behavior on one machine with the iwl3945 driver and on the 
other machine using the libertas_sdio driver it does work fine, both 
running the latest NM F11 release 
NetworkManager-0.7.2.997-2.git20100609. So, the issue might be on the 
driver side? What do others think?

Regards,
   Simon
