Solved: how to connect a laptop via wifi and share its access to internet

I've tested several build before. eg: donut, eclair, tattoo...
I remember that I've had one build (Android 2.1 probably) by which I could use wifi to connect my laptop and access the internet.
BUT only by that build. And after that I've tried several build(also include 1.6 and 2.1), but none of them can find the wifi network of my laptop.
I've searched about this problem. It seems that it's because ad-hoc tethering is not working stablely. And I found an app named "android-wifi-tether", but it looks just used to let the computer share the mobile's connection, not the opposite direction.
(link here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/)
And I still find a complex way. But I think it's not convinient. If you change a computer, u'll have to change the wpa_supplicant.conf file again, bcz the SSID might be different.
(link here: http://www.soligard.com/technology/how-to-connect-htc-hero-to-ad-hoc-wifi-network/)
Is there any patch for this?

Finally I GOT IT!!!!!!!
Thx to kallt_kaffe's post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700669
With the build RLS6, I can connect my laptop with out modifying the two files.
And I found the tiwlan.ini is almost the same as in the other build, that's odd. BUT it really works!!!!
Thx again kallt_kaffe!!

If it's not a Kaiser/Polaris/Vogue then we're not really going to be able to offer much help, sorry.

Froyo - WiFi WPA 802.1x Enterprise Issue

Hi,
I don't know yet if it's a LeeDroid 2.1c or a Froyo issue:
The Sensui-Roms got the following issue:
You can't select your ca-certificate when you want to add my 802.1x-network. The certificate is already installed. Help is very appreciated! Could someone include the Wifi-stack of the Nexus-One rom to a Sense-rom or can tell me how to get it from a Nexus Rom to a Sense rom? I attached two screenshots: One of how it should look like and one how it looks like actually in my Sense rom. I edited the wpa_supplicant.conf and added the line
Code:
ca_cert="keystore://CACERT_Telekom root CA"
after installing the cert. (yes I used the right certificate name)
It doesn't help either. So it looks like sense isn't even capable to manage ca-certificates.
Greetings

Moved to Q&A. Please don't post question threads in Development.

Sorry, that wasn't the plan.
I tried another rom without sense and another sense rom to find the reason for the problem. Actually it's a problem with the settings-part of the sense-roms. HTC forgot to implement the possibility to specify a certificate in the 802.1x Enterprise WLAN settings. Can I import the WLAN-Settings somehow from a non-sense-rom, cause I don't wanna miss sense and I don't wanna miss 802.1x too.
Greetings

Yes, bump sucks, but the bug sucks even more...

I've got the same problem. Sense doesn't allow me to select a CA-certificate. With the help of wifi-ace (code.google.com/p/android-wifi-ace/) I was able to set it manually. But this doesn't matter, the connection could not be etablished. (Connect to WLAN... SCAN... No connection)
I need enterprise with PEAP, MSCHAPv2 and the (installed) "Deutsche Telekom Root CA 2".

Same here. I solved the problem by using the newest MIUI. It's faster than sense, has also a nice music player and is working fine with the defrost-kernel.

[Q] MIUI 1.6.10 no Wifi connection

Hello,
I've problems to connect with some access points with the current MIUI version.
The SSID was found, I set the pass and then the connection was rejected. If I try with Froyo 2.2.2 it works fine.
I've tested different access point configurations:
- b/g/n
- b/g
- g only
- WPA/WPA2
- WPA TKIP only
In the Milestone section I've read, that this phone has the same problems and a ROM version from eybee will solve this. Is there a fix for the Delfy, too?

[Q] BCM ROM WiFi 802.1x EAP problems

Hello everyone!
I installed the ICS 4.0.4 BCM RC4.1U2 on my Desire (using Data++ layout)
The installation worked perfectly but unfortuanetly I am not able to connect to an 802.1x EAP WiFi (eduroam at University of Paderborn, Germany). I used the exactly same settings as before on the Froyo HTC Stock Rom, there I've never experienced any problems: EAP-TLS including root and client certificate.
Obviously the wifi configuration is not saved properly on the phone now, so that no connection is established at all. When I try a second attempt to connect, the configuration for the eduroam is still blank.
Is this problem a known issue for the ICS 4.0.4 BCM RC4.1U2? I could not find any bug reports concerning this. Connecting to other wifis (WPA or WEP encrypted) is no problem. I even tried a full wipe and re-install, but I have still the same problem.
Does anyone have an idea? I'd be very thankful for help or hints...

workaround
OK, played around a little bit... It seems to be a bug in BCM RC4.1U2. I installed BCM RC4.0U0 and could create the connection without problems. Then I flashed BCM RC4.1U2 without wiping. Now the connection (created under BCM RC4.0U0) is still available and working
I'd like to report this bug in the BCM developer thread but I don't have permissions to post there, yet... Any suggestions?

Hi,
i just encountered exactly the same problem.
Coming from CM7 with full wipe it is not possible to save any EAP wifis.
Existing ones show up on scan but it is neither possible to connect to one nor to create a profile for a non existing one. After hitting save nothing happens. WPA/WPA2 networks work just fine...
Best regards!

The problem was mentioned also in the developer thread.
As a quick and easier workaround (no downgrading) i can confirm that using
swift wifi from store (srry am not allowed to post link to app but heres the link to the post in the dev forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28537392&postcount=6580)
works fine for me!

Swift wifi widget solves this issue. Thanks!

Hi!
Now I encounterd the same problem after re-install again. Swift Wifi doesn't help because I cannot choose the certificates. The certificates are installed, I can choose them in the "native" wifi options, but here again I can't save the 802.1x profile. This time I would like to avoid downgrading as a workaround. Any suggestions?

[MIUI 3.2] Cannot connect to wifi (WPA2/PSK+AES)

Hi.
Yesterday I donwloaded MIUI 3.2 and was very much happy with it until I found out I cannot connect to my wireless. In fact my SSID is not even listed. The only ones I see are the ones with TKIP encryprion, but as much as I know/read wireless n + TKIP is a no-go. Tried to setup a connection manually with no luck.
I have no problems connecting to my wireless with CM9 alpha5, Hensemod7 and MIUI v4.
Searching forums did not give any desirable results.
My setup:
Wireless: TP-LINK 1043ND w/ stock firmware; wireless b/g/n; WPA2/PSK+AES
Phone: HTC Wildfire S A510e; S-ON; unlocked bootloader (htcdev)
Any help/info would be appreciated.
TIA

SOLVED
The problem was wifi channel.
Some time ago I've set up my router to channel #13 whitch according to Wifi Analyzer was least crowded one.
Using CM9 alpha5, Hensemod7 and MIUI v4. ROMs this was not an issue. Switching to channel #1 solved my problem.
Hope this helps someone.
