[Linux-wlan-ng-devel] Bug#403470: linux-wlan-ng: always tries to configure "infrastructure" although "independent" was specified

[Daniel Sobe]

Package: linux-wlan-ng
Version: 0.2.5-2
Severity: important

Although the correct wlanctl-name_of_ssid file exists,
an ad-hoc network is never created correctly. The script
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/linux-wlan-ng-pre-up
has these lines disabled:

if [ -z "$IF_WIRELESS_MODE" ]; then
	IF_WIRELESS_MODE="ad_hoc"
fi

Enabling them solves the problem.
