Description Frederik Niedernolte (reporter) 2010-05-10 14:27:34 UTC

SOFTWARE VERSION:
PR1.1.1 (3.2010.02-8)

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 
1. Offer an Ad-hoc connection from another PC with WiFi
2. Connect to this connection with Maemo (will be stored as a connection point)
3. Open the connection dialog later in another place

EXPECTED OUTCOME:

Only the current possible connections are listed

ACTUAL OUTCOME:

All possible connections are listed PLUS the Ad-hoc connection

REPRODUCIBILITY:
always

EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED: Not important

OTHER COMMENTS: The stored Ad-hoc connection is sown everywhere even if it is
not available.

This isn't a bug, an ad-hoc connection is by definition always possible (the
Maemo device may be the first station on the wlan for instance).

Exactly. It is available as soon as you turn on the Wifi.
