I set up my laptop to work as a hotspot for my iPhone in 13.04, which worked just fine.
Today, after upgrading to 13.10, it no longer works.
I set it up for a manual connection, because I didn't want it on all the time. I'd click the connection in Network Manager, enter my password for the KDE Password Manager, and it would come up with no problem.
That doesn't happen now. It tries to enable the connection, but instead gives me the message "Wireless interface (wlan0) - Failed to activate" and "No secrets were provided"
A cat of /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state reports:
[main]
NetworkingEnabled = true
WirelessEnabled = true
WWANEnabled = true
WimaxEnabled = true
iwconfig says
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID: off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=15 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr: off Fragment thr: off
Power Management: off
The iwconfig reading is weird, since it used to be set to the name I'd given it.
nload shows no activity.
I've tried to edit the configuration in the new Network Manager, but the OK but is always greyed out.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
actual
