Mageia forum

Hello,

Some month ago, I was going crasy to set up a Ad Hoc connection.

Today, It's the same symptom, but to remove it from my laptop.
The main issue is that my computer "think" it is connected, so "forget" to connect to my real wifi network.

I tried to remove the wifi connection at all, but when I install it back, I get the adhoc network back too.

Thanks
Pierre

Take a look in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/wireless.d I think you will find your Ad-Hoc network in there. Delete the file.

Thanks

I think it works.

Finally, the file is not here anymore, but the network is still present in the list.

Which file is not there anymore?

On a related note, has the problem been completely solved so far?

in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/wireless.d/ there was a file "portable_pierre" which is the ad hoc network.

I removed it.

But, after many reboot, the network is still in the network manager list when I'm not connected anywhere.

The directory you referred to is AFAIK only used by drakxtools.
Don't know where networkmanager saves its known networks.

Is it possibly some left-over in:
/etc/netprofile/profiles/default/

AFAIK NM stores connections in "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections".

I have no folder system-connection.

I removed all "any" files in /etc/netprofile/profiles/default/ and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/wireless.d/

For now I don't have anymore the adhoc connection, but let see later... Network detection doesn't work always in the same way.

I will let you know.

Yeah, You could be right, this folder exists only if any connection is marked in NM as system-connection. I just veryfied this, but have no clue whereelse it could be stored.

Was there a "portable_pierre"-file among those "any"-files in /etc/netprofile/profiles/default/?

I removed it 1 week ago.

The anyt file was another one with some config text and a line with : network mode = ad hoc(or something like that

Maybe You'll find NM controlled connections in ~/.kde4/share/apps/networkmanagement/connections, if You use KDE.

no such folder.
I use the default mageia wifi applet for all my network connection.

I can change it if you say there is another one better on KDE.. this one is crap, so it would not be a problem to change it.
