Sharing Internet connection via Wi-Fi doesn't work (NetworkManager)

Hi,

I'm trying to share my Internet connection (via a direct Ethernet cable) using my laptop's wifi antenna. I'm using NetworkManager to do it (with the NetworkManager systray applet->Create New Wireless Network), trying every combination and what I have is that it creates the new network but it restarts again and again, so I can't connect to it using another device (but I see it). As I said, I have tried every combination of cipher methods, different drivers and other stuff. To discard that it was a problem with my wireless card, I tried to share the connection using a Ubuntu Live-CD and it worked.

I'm using Arch 64 bits and this is what lspci gives me:

>  lspci | grep Network
10:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)

I tried using a different USB device with an Atheros chip and I had the same problem, so I think I have a problem in my NetworkManager configuration. Where can I get some info about it, for example via logs?

Thank you in advance for your help.
