Package: gnome-system-tools
Version: 1.2.0-2
Severity: wishlist
If used in an environment where there is ad-hoc wifi network, the essid
of the ad-hoc network will be reported as available by network-admin,
which will then try to use it as a managed network (which fails : delays
on DHCP, etc).
Auto-detection of the ad-hoc nature or possibility to explicitely
declare the network type would be great (if it's not possible to
auto-detect ad-hoc).
Best regards
