Description

```
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Turn on wifi sharing
2. Try to connect with a laptop
3. Connection times out

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to connect and get an IP address. Windows reports the process takes
longer than it should. Does not make a connection even though it sees the
network available and asks for the P/W.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.5.7 - android

Please provide any additional information below.
I cannot determine which features need to be enabled to allow wifi sharing to
work.

Research direction

Reproduce the timeout by enabling Wi-Fi sharing on Android 1.5.7 and connecting from a Windows laptop. Investigate which features or permissions are required for sharing; done means the laptop connects to the network and receives an IP address.
