Subsequently I can't connect to any existing wireless network -- the notification icon just spins. Did I somehow bork the mode of the wifi device? This is on Ubuntu 10.10 with NetworkManager 0.8.1 I created a new wireless network.

I have followed your directions and I can see the shared internet connection in the list of available wireless networks from another client. But when I am trying to connect, it fails. And I cannot find any useful logs on what goes wrong. I have tried using a Ubuntu client as well as a Vista client. The network is there, but I fail to connect. On the server, I keep getting error messages saying wlan0: No active IBSS STAs - trying to scan for other IBSS networks with same SSID. There are twice such messages each minute. Any ideas?

The only time your shared connection will be available is when you tell it to connect or if there are no other wireless connections available or that you have previously configured. How do we restart it? disable the network card and then re-enable it. I dont know if there is another way to restart this or not. How do we know if it's on? The wireless network manager will tell you that you are connected to your wireless network you created. Boot info? network manager boots automatically and like I stated before, it will automatically connect to it if there are no other preferred networks. If you make the wireless network you created the only preferred network than it will always start it up first. How do we install it as a daemon?, etc.... dont know, but stated above describes how it starts automatically How do we decide what optional Wireless Security Level??? if you have older computers or older OS's then its better to use an older level of security, imo. If possible use the newest security available. WPA v1 is probably the most common these days. you should be able to see a new SSID...where? Me or they? It will say you are connected to the wireless you created, They will be able to see your new wireless network I hoped this helped, sorry to Jake for not responding in a timely fashion, summer school has kept me in a constant state of cramming. Aaron How do we know if we have the Network Manager installed and if its version 0.7?
right click on the network manager in the system tray and click about, this will have the version displayed

How do we stop the wifi server?
you can disable the network card, or connect to a available wireless network. The only time your shared connection will be available is when you tell it to connect or if there are no other wireless connections available or that you have previously configured.

How do we restart it?
disable the network card and then re-enable it. I dont know if there is another way to restart this or not.

How do we know if it's on?
The wireless network manager will tell you that you are connected to your wireless network you created.

Boot info?

How do we install it as a daemon?, etc….

I have the connection shared between my two NIC's. The only problem is that DNS masquerade does not seem to be working correctly, as I can connect to my repeater and navigate to <a href="http://72.14.205.104/" target="_blank">http://72.14.205.104/</a> in Firefox, but the same thing does not work when I attempt to navigate to <a href="http://www.google.com." target="_blank">http://www.google.com.</a> To confirm this, I edited /etc/resolv.conf and set the contents to be the same as the resolv.conf file on my repeater. After that, all hostnames resolved correctly on the computer behind the repeater. This is all on Ubuntu 9.04. Could anyone tell me what I need to do to troubleshoot this?
