It fails here too. Well, I have never tested this with ipv6, so that is not a
surprise. Probably the support for ipv6 is not implemented.

you mean "screenshot", right?

I cannot reproduce this here. Here it stays green and wpa2 encryption is still
in place. Have you recompiled wpa_supplicant with ap-mode support? If not then
it will never work with WPA2.

> - the ap has no mac address assigned .

there is no sense in showing an ap's mac address because there is none. I
explained this to you in your other's bug report.

> - the protocol used is "b/g" instead of "n"

b, g and n uses the same frequencies. Since NetworkManager does not provide
which band the wifi card is using we guess it from the frequency. "b/g" and "n"
are basically the same thing from hardware frequency point of view.

> - the throughput is not displayed

Here it works.

This log does not show anything usefull on why ipv6 does not work.

Please do not use slangs like "pb" here. You could also give a better title for
this bug report, "networkmanager, no mac address , ipv6 fail" does not describe
anything, really.
