[Bug 857294] Re: Creating hotspot leads to endless connect/disconnect loop

[tankdriver]

I found a workaround to this issue:
- kill any running dnsmasq process. (or restart computer afterwards)
- Disable IPv6 in the Hotspot settings. (IPv6: Ignore)
- restart the Hotspot

---

The default settings of the Hotspot in Oneiric are:
- IPv4: Shared with other Computers
- IPv6: Automatic

When selecting "IPv6: Ignore" everything works as expected.
Suggesting to change the default settings of the Hotspot-feature, because I think IPv6 is not really necessary for Ad-Hoc Networks in order to work around this bug.
