Hotspot creation with Network Manager and Sagem XG-703A


Hello everyone,

i'm trying to create an hotspot with my desktop pc.

I have tried with a Belkin usb adapter (rt2870) and everything works fine but unfortunatly with my usb wifi adapter ( Sagem model XG-703A , prism 54 based ) it doesn't work in wpa mode.

I'm using network manager, i choose "create new wifi", add a name for the to-be-created network, choose a wpa password, and i see it's created.

When i try to connect from another pc (lubuntu 14.04.1 too) i see the network name, i choose it, type in the password but after i while i get the message "disconnected, you are now offline". With wep it works.

I'm using Lubuntu 14.04.1 .

First to use the wireless usb key i installed linux-firmware-nonfree package, then i tried to use a newer firmware ( 2.13.25.0.lm87.arm md5sum 39be687c87544b892e7a8ffe7ffd9371 ) but nothing has changed.

I don't understand if it should work or if it isn't wpa hotspot capable... Thank you in advance.
