The network manager applet menu entry "Create new wireless network" is misleading

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • The network manager applet menu entry "Create new wireless network" is misleading - please change to "Create an adhoc wireless network" or similar.

Users who want to create a new wireless connection entry (and not a wifi hotspot) tend to click "Create new wireless network" and then notice that it does not work.

Environment
