Recently when looking for wlan a new connectio is available:
devel_adhoc
Instead of looking like the normal wlan connections .))) it looks like this: .))).

So that's my device finding itself since I wasn't able to find it with other devices.

I suspected it might be related with:
Open SSH - removed it, nothing happened.
Freeciv server - same
Vncviewer - same

Any help and explanations are warmly welcome.
Thanks

The maemo-pc-connectivity package adds it. I think it's a substitute for a dummy connection, but since I've never actually installed it myself, I can't confirm this.

You may be able to remove it with: gconftool --recursive-unset /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/devel_adhoc
The usual option in the Control Panel should work fine to remove it.

It shows that icon when another WiFi device is offering you a connection in Ad-Hoc mode (peer to peer WiFi), as opposed to Master mode which base stations offer.

My house doesn't have WiFi, so I use this mode when my laptop is on wired ethernet, so that my laptop can provide WiFi internet access to the N900

So most likely you are seeing this icon because of a device in the vicinity, not because of any software updates.

Funny thing is that it was already disabled in the control pannel applet...
I also tried the commandline and uninstalling, + rebooting after each one with no success.

Anything else I could try?

I noticed that this appeared after I installed the PC-Connectivity 2nd Edition from the extras-devel repo. Not sure if this install is the cause. Did you happen to install any apps from any of the development repos?

Only transmission from the extras-devel but I'm positive that has nothing to do with it; isn't it in the extras-testing already?

All I installed recently was Freeciv server and the PC-Connectivity applet.
I checked PC-Connectivity and it does start a "network" connection with that name.
However it does not turn it off, not even when speciffied in the settings to do so and even it it does, the devel_adhoc still shows up in network connections.

Check out section 4.3 Wlan ad-hoc to see if that helps in explaining where it came from.

Notice the second bullet point under section 4.3.1. The ESSID that's created is devel_adhoc.
