Hi - I have a NUC w/ Haswell i5-4250 & 7260-AC wireless adapter. OS is Ubuntu desktop 13.10

I am not able to create an "Ad Hoc" network. The following error is displayed in the GUI -

(32) Ad-Hoc mode is not supported by this device.

Connecting to wi-fi networks works well.

Linux kernel is 3.11.0-22-generic

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Graham
