           Summary: Fix Adhoc Connections
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.6
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: catcatmu at gmail.com


Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

Using Knetwork manager or the plasmoid kde will fail to connect to a created
Adhoc uness it is alreay activated  on another pc since 'undetected'
connections are not listed.

A workaround which tricks the plasmoid/manager into activating the connection
(already created):
1) Menu -> Manage connections -> Wireless -> Edit <Adhoc Connection> -> Scan ->
pick any existing SSID
2) Menu -> disable wireless
3) Menu -> enable wireless
Magically the 'Adhoc' connection appears in the list
4) Menu -> Manage Connections -> Wireless -> Edit -> Set SSID to Adhoc
connections SSID 
5) Menu -> Select the Adhoc connection.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create an 'Adhoc' connection and try to find it.

Actual Results:  
The adhoc connection isn't in the list of networks.

Expected Results:  
The adhoc connection IS in the list of networks even if no other PC is
available and using that SSID.

Workaround works for both Plasmoid and applet.
