exop.pro/blog/2010/08/15/ad-hoc-support-for-android
szym.net/2010/12/adhoc-wifi-in-android/
when i replace wpa_supplicant, wifi seems doesnt work, i cant find any wifi network (ap or ad-hoc)
please help
I tried creating ad hoc wifi network in my laptop for my defy but failed. The phone did not detect the network. Then I installed connectify instead and it works faultlessly.
Is there any adhoc patch for defy?
*wrong post deleted*
I can connect defy with my laptop without installing any other software. But I'm not sure if it is a ad-hoc network. My laptop wifi driver provide a special ap mode and it can be used to share network.

Same here. I tried all the patches of wpa_supplicant given in this thread as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755254 but the wifi just can't search for any network and it turns off itself.
Another member "webvan" tried the above steps on his Milestone and failed(from the above thread).
Seems like Moto has a different hardware config.
FYI, I'm running 2.2.2 custom rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037076)
What a tragedy.
It seems there's no such patch for Defy.
for me it worked with 3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC rom which i used for a very long time.
the problem is, you must manually connect to an ad-hoc network.
if you don't want to do that each time, you can install cyanogenmod by quarx and it will automatically connect to your saved ad-hoc network
Maybe you should try update to 2.2/2.3 based rom.
Fyi, i'm now at MIUI rom & got no problems with ad-hoc wifi network.
Dont forget to activate Internet Connection Sharing (for windows user), just to assure your device got IP Address automatically.
P.S Sorry for my bad english
I've try the wifi tether for root user. But it seems not work on infrastructure mode. How can I tether in infrastructure mode instead of ad-hoc mode?
The same in MIUI
The same problem in MIUI.
Just ad-hoc. In Eclair and Froyo the infrastucture was possible with "thether for root users".
That isn't the same on MIUI. Just ad-hoc, even with the same software.
Any suggestion?
My Defy running uk stock 2.2 generates a hotspot in infrastructure mode and it works well with my Asus Transformer.
I have seen comments in the CM7 thread that suggest that to generate a tether spot you need to install wireless tether for root - I think others have mentioned that this is only adhoc.
Obviously I am not running CM7 so can't confirm this for you.
Have a look at the main CM7 thread.
Infact the "wifi tether for root" worked in infrastructure in Eclair and in Froyo, but just in ad-hoc in MIUI and CM.
I really can not figure why ...
i posted this in CM7 thread, just to answer your question, im pasting it here:
found it!
thanks to a thread at modaco, just copy hostapd file from /system/bin of any Defy froyo rom, and paste it in CM7 /system/bin , chmod 755, run wifi tether for root, it will now have WPA/WPA2 not only WEP, and also run as infrastructure mode!
file is attached for those who want the solution quick and dont have froyo at hand.
What's the exact name of the wifi tether app you guys are using? I couldn't find one named "wifi tether for root users" in the market. I found this one googling around though: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/. Is this the one?
Thanks

yes it is.
Hello! I used to use Wireless Tether(the released version, not the beta one) and it worked fine on my default eclair. now that i have CM7 RC0, i have some problem, but ONLY if i activate access control.
Tried the version above, the beta one, and i couldn't even be able to find the network(and don't have the hide SSID option to be enabled )
any idea of what could it be?

try version 2.07:

Hey guys... i'm sorry for what i'll say now.. but i'm not a developer =(
BUT, i can find some solutions on the web. (=
well.. here is the deal... As i said before, i used to use Wireless tether(what seems to be the non-beta version of this wifi tether, as the interface is pretty much the same)
after upgrading my cellphone to Gingerbread CM7 RC0, i tested it today and got a problem on activating access control...
Well.. i guess that i found some possible solution for this:
Why does the "access-control"-feature not work or is disabled.
If the feature "CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_MAC" is missing the "access control"-feature will not work correctly (you will see a "failed"-status in "Show log" for "Enabling access control"). To detect if all kernel-option were enabled in your current kernel the following kernel-options should be enabled: CONFIG_PROC_FS, CONFIG_IKCONFIG, and CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PRO. This dumps the current kernel-config to /proc/config.gz.

Heya. thanks for answering, but I just checked. the version i'm using and having problem, is the 2.0.7.
when i tried the beta, couldn't even broadcast the SSID, so got back to the "market" version

hay mate, how do you copy to the sys dir?
bit of a novice
You have to use some application capable of remounting the /system partition as read/write (it is read-only by default) and copy the file, and you need a way to edit permissions.
I've used root explorer to do both things above. Remember the file has to be named hostapd (all in small caps). It works for me -- now I have infrastructure tether in my CM7 defy.
I'm not having any luck with MIUI 1.10.8 with Hostapd & android-wifi-tether unfortunately.
Tether starts with an error in the log in 2.0.7, "Starting hostapd... failed" & "Activating WiFi interface... failed" but I can't see further details than this.
Tether starts without error in 3.1-beta6 but SSID does not come up.
Permissions of Hostapd (with uppercase H) are "rwx rwx rwx", using ES File Explorer, and have rebooted between attempts.
I downloaded the modified wpa_supplicant from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058319 for getting it to connect to ad-hoc networks but it isn't working. The WiFi is constantly turning on and off itself. I have tried restarting the phone but it's still doing it. What is wrong?
I've searched several threads, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Both devices definitely 100% rooted with superuser working fine, permissions granted for all apps.
I installed wifi_tether_v3_1-beta14.apk on the phone.
Device Profile: Evo 4G
Setup-Method: Initially I tried Softap (master). That's the same as infrastructure mode, correct?
Default SSID (AndroidTether)
MSS Clamping checked
Routing Fix checked
If I attempt to run it with these settings, I get a popup informing me the wifi hotspot started, but with errors. The log just says most of the wifi steps failed, I can post details if needed. I don't think it's really running - no upload/download indicator showing at the bottom of the app. My PC can't see the hotspot.
If I switch Setup-Method to Ad-hoc, it runs fine, no errors, PC can see it and connect to it. But KF can't connect to Ad-hoc... so lame.
So, I got ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher.apk for the kindle fire, to switch it to ad-hoc mode. Went to settings, told it to connect to AndroidTether. Switched to Ad-Hoc mode. It says "attempting to connect" ... after a minute it gives up and keeps retrying. The hotspot shows in the list of wifi networks, but it's hanging at "Obtaining IP address".
So, what's the issue? Infrastructure mode not working? Need to flash a custom rom? I read something about maybe needing a non-stock kernel? Upgrade or downgrade my radio?
I finally found a method that works, barely.
Wifi Tether (app listed above) failed.
Adhoc Switcher failed.
Wifi Hotspot Widget failed.
Elixir2's hotspot widget failed (connected but no surf).
The one that worked is free and doesn't even need root apparently: Foxfi.
I say it "barely" worked because even this has issues.
When I tried to create a password, it wouldn't connect.
But if I leave the password blank (no password) it does work.
http://foxfi.com/bin/
I just told it to start running, and left the SSID at the default (FoxFi98 I believe).
Hi, i am new here and have a question.
Is it possible to use the fairphone to connect to an wifi adhoc? I found some websites offering a file called wpa_supplicant, with what i should replace the original one. But with this i cannot activate wifi at all. May there be another solution? For I use a fairphone i have root rights, a terminal and busybox installed...
