Can anyone confirm Ad-hoc support? I know Honeycomb supports ad-hoc connections right out of the box (well at least I know the TF tablet does) so I was hoping that ICS supports connecting to an ad-hoc wifi connection. I'm not talking about tethering a device to the GN, I'm talking about reverse tethering. At work it's a cell black hole. Doesn't matter what provider you have, the signal is crap. I have Cyanogen on my OG Droid and it allows me to connect to the ad-hoc wifi connection I've set up on my laptop to give the droid some form of data connection while I'm at work.
I still want the phone regardless of whether or not it supports ad-hoc as I'm sure in due time it'll be easy enough to implement with a custom rom. It would just be nice to know if it'll support it when ever Verizon gets around to releasing it.
i ve flashed my SGS i9000 with ICS port rom , and i ve notice that there are no ad-joc support, thats really a big pity , i ve tried to find an application in the market to allow me to connect via ad-hoc networks , but i found nothing ... i hope there will be solousion soon time
Yeah, from what it looks like in the bug tracker, I believe the only reason why the Asus TF has Ad-Hoc support is because Asus enabled it themselves, not Google. I wish Google would take their heads out of their you know where and make this simple change. It's not like they need to research how to fix it since all the research has already been done.
Can't answer your question, but if you're running Windows 7, have you tried Connectify to make your laptop a hotspot? It's free and I hear it works pretty well.
Also, maybe there is a ROM out there that support the Bluetooth PAN profile (Android 2.3 doesn't, maybe ICS already does?), so you can just connect the phone to your laptop using that link, no wifi needed, less battery usage since it's bluetooth, and I believe that's what the PAN profile is intended to be used for anyway.
not working here
i tried editing tiwlan but did not find that config file
haven't found any other tutorials concerning adhoc on Android 4.0
btw it is issue number 82 on Android - An Open Handset Alliance Project (not allowed to post outside links for me)
Updated my phone to Android 4.0.2 and still no ad-hoc...
Is there an application that can do it?

I wish we had Win 7 at work. Sadly we're still running XP so connectify is a no go. I've also heard it works pretty well but sadly I can't even test it out.
I haven't tried Bluetooth PAN yet with the GN but I believe the bluetooth stack on my laptop is also crippled. I tried doing the same with my tablet (which I know allows bluetooth PAN) and the laptop wouldn't setup a proper PAN. Seems like we're SOL regarding Ad-hoc until someone releases a hack for it or a ROM comes out.
Any progress?
I've got the same problem... Poor reception at work, and running XP.
(Although, I've also got a Linux machine, and tried sticking an USB wifi adapter in it, but the stock driver doesn't support Master Mode on it. Maybe I should just get myself a new USB wifi adapter that's properly supported by Linux? Any recommendations?)

I haven't heard of anything yet. It doesn't look like any of the ROMs have it yet either.
I'm kinda lucky though, I was recently transferred in my company and I'm now located in a building where I get a decent 4G signal all day. Also my new laptop is Win 7. I did play around with connectify a bit. It works but not extremely well for me. I wind up losing connection quite often. I did read though that it's possibly something to do with AV or Firewall, and knowing my company, that's probably it.

I have Winxp at work also on my laptop and connectify works with my Asus transformer. But for the galaxy nexus it doesn't recognize the adhoc network during wifi scan. Need a new supplicant file installed.

Any one else having issues connecting to atheros wifi on windows 7 x64?
wifi is set to allow ad-hoc
changed ssid

tested on di18 stock dk28 stock viperrom nebula supernova
even stood on my head with left eye closed and a finger in my bum chanting "please work damn it"
using wifi tether for root users from market and barnacle
I got epic on day one and even the sprint app will not connect
I have no hair left to pull out
and google laughs at me when I search for this now
open to any ideas that dont involve spending money
TIA for any help!

EDIT: drivers are also up to date
EDIT2: Using ATHEROS AR5B91 I am also able to create ad-hoc on laptop connect phone to it and bridge connection to get better range from home wifi.
EDIT3: Sorry to keep editing but I have decided to use viperrom as my daily driver if that helps anyone help me.
Do you have intel wireless card? Try connect with a different device. My netbook connects but not my laptop.

have you tried the new Wifi Tether w/ Infustructure mode, v3.0 it works great I am running midnightv2.4 ext4 with no issues. I have a acer win7 x64 lap and it connects, also a IBM L412 connects just fine.

I think your win7 x64 box needs to have a wifi card that supports 802.11n wifi. I have an Intel 5300 card in my system (also win7 x64, current drivers fron Intel's site) and can only connect to my Epic's network when I enable the 802.11n Mode in the network card's properties. Only issue I have is slow, sometime disconnected, VPN sessions, but non-VPN traffic works great.

you are correct, I believe the android tether from the market will broadcast in "n" ad-hoc mode, the wifi w/ Infrastructure will broadcast in "g" mode.
I just wanted to make sure and connected and yes it was broadcasting in "g" mode.
Did you create key code and is that 13 characters vs 10 conventional.

Card has b/g/n support (router is broadcasting in n) I can use my laptop to extend the range of my wifi to phone. Create ad-hoc on lappy, connect with phone, bridge connection works fine like that but thats not wifi tether.

Yes using 13 char code changing ssid and pass was the first thing I did. I even turned off my home wifi and made the phone tether settings (ssid and pass) to same as home network. Laptop tried to connect with stored info but timed out, cleared stored info on lappy and reconnected manually still timed out.

In case it helps anyone help me I have decided to use viperrom as my daily driver as noted in OP EDIT3.
I have some friends coming by today (they both have huges net at home and I am on 50Mb/50Mb fios so I handle downloads over 25MB) for some rom-ification to their phones ( 1 moment, 2 evo's , 2 epic's , 1 intercept) I have tried 4 other epics already they have same issue. Evo's and moment/intercept have not yet been rooted so havnt been able to test them as of yet, seriously who the eff is gonna pay 40 a month for a feature built into your os, thats like microshaft trying to charge you to be able to use a mouse ( dont freak there are no new charges with windows just an example ).

Ok so I am able to tether to the moment (stock CWM and root only with moment tether) but not the others. WTF is all I can think on this one. Again TIA for any ideas. I am 2 days away from my annual reinstall of windows *crosses fingers* that may do it.
Reinstalling Windows fixed the issue thanks for the help everyone!
Hey guys,
since i'm moving often, workwise, and don't have the luxury of great DATA speeds via my Phone often, and neither the Option to pair my Wifi with local hotspots or Routers in Companys.. i'd love a solution for the play.
So far i've tried
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-793102.html - Failed
I'm currently running CM7 (FXP Edition release 41 i believe) and it does NOT come with that option, though i've read that CM7 doas come with it on some devices.
Any help appreciated!
(BTW - a PORTABLE solution would be preferable, since it's Client PCs i'm sitting on mostly.)
My answer would be Yes, on whatever is possible. I guess any rooted rom could get that feature.

I have the same issue... I'm considering connecting my netbook with an ethernet cable and using the wifi to connect to my phone.
I haven't seen anyone successfully use ICS on Windows 7 to reverse tether to an Android phone through USB. (we use Windows 7 at work)
I think you need to enable RNDIS in kernel, for example to compile it as module.
Ive used connectify while i was on vacation.
You can turn your wifi adapter into a hotspot and put a password on it so you can connect your phone to your laptop while your laptop is connected to another wireless network (get it ?)
see http://www.connectify.me/
Well the thing is, I am usually connected via cable. So wifi is not an option.

Hey Guys,
I just got a Motorola Xoom Tablet and it's not allowing me to use my mobile's hotspot to connect to the internet. I use my phone for everything. It even connects my laptop and all other devices.
My device is on WinMo 6.5 (HTC Tilt 2)
Can anyone help me solve this?
The issue is on your tablet. Android devices by default cannot connect to adhoc (non-infrastructure) networks.
I think with some supplicant hacks, your Xoom would be able to connect to an adhoc network.
The only problem is that the Xoom I have is the Family Edition. The bootloader is unlockable and there is no way around it as of now.
However, the wifi hotspot provided by an Android phone connects to the tablet without a problem. I just tried it on a friend's phone and it worked like a charm.
Would there be a cab/app that can change the mode of the wifi output on my WM phone?
It would suck to upgrade my cell phone just to have this work..

Just use Android then.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171052
AFAIK there's no way in WinMo to put up an infrastructure network. On Android all the third party wifi tethering solutions are adhoc as well, only the built-in wifi tethering app works as an infrastructure network.
Just be warned, the built-in wifi hotspot feature has a tendency to suck wind when you try to disable it. IIRC it works great up until that point.
I'll try this now and see what happens..
Thanks..

I am running a TP2 with NRG and I have same issue trying to connect
an EVO View to the TP2.
Before I go changing phones (I like the TP2 for most of my biz stuff), I thought
I would try to find out if maybe you got an easy solution??
Thanks

Just use Android as I suggested as well. It will allow you to put up a native infrastructure AP, which you should be able to connect to on your Evo View.
Or, you can fix the Evo View to access ad-hoc networks. Either way.
Has anyone had USB reverse tethering success with the GNex and windows xp sp3?
I've done a good bit of research but I'm stuck.
This would be easier and straight forward if you had a 2nd wifi dongle, assuming you use your wifi for internet. If you use a network cable and an unused wifi onboard (or USB or PCI etc), then it's an immediate option for you.
XP's wifi is kinda so-so though so expect a little struggle.
Actually, I'm in a cell dead zone and there's no wifi... so reverse USB tether is the best option for me.

Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
I think what he meant was to set up the computer to start an ad-hoc network. That should be easier than usb.

Sure, but android don't support ad hoc networks. The Bluetooth method I got to work don't need root either.
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
That requires having Bluetooth on the PC though!!
I've been using http://www.connectify.me (with Windows 7, but supposed to work with XP) just fine
Bluetooth adapter is very cheap though. And you can use it for other things too

I have an old Windows Mobile 6.5 phone (Touch Pro 2). I have an app that allows it to run as a wifi hotspot (install file is called mobilewifirouter.cab).
Other devices connect to the hotspot fine, but the kindle just doesn't see it... even when they're right next to each other. Otherwise the kindle wifi works ok.
Is there any way I can get this going? It's tedious having to constantly consider wifi availability when I'm travelling with it. Maybe the KF doesn't see anything using a very old 802.11 standard?
ad-hoc vs infrastructure
I think the issue is the phone itself. Or rather, the chip/radio only being able to broadcast on ad-hoc which the KF (and other new 'droid devices) doesn't support. I used the same wifi manager you did, same results...
I have a ATT Tilt 2, btw
I guess I have the same problem:
I'm trying to have my lg p500 (android 2.2.1) working as a wifi hotspot and access it from my galaxy tab (3.2) but I can't never "see" my network from it.
Other devices (laptop, nokia E71) can connect, but not the galaxy tab.
Galaxy tab can connect to other wifi networks, but not the one I create in my phone with "Wifi Thether" app.
Any workaround to fix this?
Thanks,
João
I think WM6.5 wifi router software uses Adhoc mode for wifi rather than infrastructure mode. Android cannot connect to adhoc wifi network unless you have a modified WPA supplicant file (which can make your android device unstable).
Kindle Fire and many smartphones/tables cannot connect to the internet via ad-hoc.
Use Connectify software to create a access point from your laptop.
It's a problem that is corrected easily, all you need is ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher. It works, VERY well.

If you are on Stock ROM and rooted, this is perfect
But, if you are on a CM9 ROM(unsure about others), there is no ad-hoc support yet...

He didn't really say if he was using stock or not. I just posted what I know works. If it is wrong for him/her, then I am wrong!
I tried the app on CM9 ROM's, it doesn't play friendly...
For anyone else who searched this thread and they're trying to connect to an android phone... just wanted to recommend FoxFi. I tried several other apps and they all failed (probably due to some quirk of the Kindle Fire's, everyone's recommending these apps). But FoxFi got the job done. But only if you run it without a password. If you're fed up trying to make the kindle connect to your phone, try it.

the problem here is that KF running CM9 or CM10 cant connect to an adhoc wifi yet, not the problem of the phone.
