Desire can't see ad-hoc wifi network!

I've just set up an ad-hoc wifi network using my laptop, but it seems that desire can't see it. My other laptop, and ipod touch are connecting just fine.
Is there any way to fix this??

Yes, wait for the Froyo update.
I 'm waiting for this to use my KS20 as a hot-spot

I have froyo rom installed...it should work...i guess ...

AFAIK no Android device can see an ad-hoc network. (not without modifications / root that is). I admit I have no idea if Froyo solves this problem.

Can u post any links with instructions? I would really like to make this work, hehe . I've also tried Connectify, and Desire can connect, but there's no internet access (maybe I did something wrong)...

You _did_ something wrong, because Connectify is the way I successfully connect my Desire to internet.

Have a look at:

Hm...don't know. There's nothing to do wrong . It's very easy to configure. I've tried it on two laptops. Desire is just hanging on obtaining ip adress, and another laptop conects just fine but with no internet access...

Your windows firewall is blocking the connection process. Either turn off the firewall or set a exception, if you have a complete antivirus solution with firewall its the same thing.
Also go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections (on win 7) > right click on your internet connection > Proprieties > Sharing > Check the "Allow other network users to connect through this computers intenet connection" > in the drop down list select the Wirless Network Connection made by Connectify

No desire does not see ad hoc connections, i think some people on here are not understanding what the OP means.
He wants to share his interner from laptop to desire so the desire can go online.
I have tired this with a nokia phone in ad hoc mode (n900) and desire would not see SSID.
Not sure if froyo will, i had froyo installed but didnt test that.

Android does not see ad-hoc networks by default, but it can be configured that way.
I did it with this guide: hxxp://modmymobile.com/forums/491-jailbreak-root-access/544146-connect-g1-ad-hoc-network-solved.html (replace xx with tt) wich is similar as the above mentioned.
I had some problems with the wpa_supplicant.conf file, but this is how it looks now:
Code:
ctrl_interface=tiwlan0
update_config=1
network={
ssid="MarcsAndroid"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=1
}
network={
ssid="Marcsnet"
scan_ssid=1
psk="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
group=CCMP TKIP
priority=1
}
I'm using wifi thethering on my Desire and have configured my old G1 so that is sees the Desire, can connect to it, and share its internet. But most importantly, I use the app WiFi-keyboard, so I can use my G1 qwerty on my Desire

ad-hoc support

Hi guys,
As the title suggest , is there an ad-hoc support for the gn?

any answer????

Openen Hotspot with Connectify
-Nokia E51 connects (with and without encryption)
-Samsung Galaxy Nexus doesn't even show the hotspot.
adding the network manually is not working either

i tired every app and method available with no luck
i think the solution is to add ad-hoc support

I think the default wpa-supplicant doesn't support adhoc. We need to replace it with one that supports. I don't know if someone has made/fixed it yet. Still waiting for it as well.

Ad.Hoc
did you manage to connect through Ad.Hoc? I cannot find Adhoc in my Galaxy Note!! Can we enable AdHoc on Note?

Also need to use adhoc but my Nexus doesn't detect any...

i will try tonight,as i has my laptop at my GF's house.and wont be there until tonight .
but yha. if nobody has posted til than.
than be sure to watch out for my post
Btw,did any one of you guys try wifi direct?
im kinda unsure what it really does.

Did some search in Google and previous NEXUS had the same problem some users were telling to change wpa_supplicant in /system/bin but I think the one they where providing its not compatible with SGN.

As someone already said, I am not even able to see the an adhoc wifi network with my Galaxy Nexus.
My device is rooted but so far I did not find an easy solution to enable adhoc wifi.
However the same adhoc network works perfectly with an EEEpad transformer, so apparently the wifi client is already modified in the Asus tablet.

Has there been any update to this? Been searching this site and others and it doesn't seem like a wpa-supplicant file that can see Ad-hoc networks has been created yet.

I use Connectify - works pefectly.

Supposedly the 4.0.2 update should bring ad-hoc support.
I'm eagerly awaiting the roll-out... (Should have happened ages ago, but somehow it's taking quite a while to propagate everywhere.)
I suppose you could always go ahead and flash your own ROM, but personally I prefer to wait for the official OTA update.

I'm using a 4.0.3 ROM and before that had stock 4.0.2 and no ad hoc support was/is available. There is Wifi Direct which acts like ad hoc but that only works with other Wifi Direct devices.

Oh, Bother!
I was betting on 4.0.2 to solve this, but as you say, it appears that it's only the wifi-direct that frequently gets billed as 'ad-hoc-like' connection.
Is there any other way to enable ad-hoc connections?
Apparently on other devices there exist modified wpa_supplicant files that enable ad-hoc, but so far I haven't seen anything for the GN.

Unfortunately I'm running XP (yeah I know ) here at the office so Connectify won't work - no access point connections on XP.

any possible solution?

Use bluetooth to connect to your computer and share your internet connection with your phone.
I've tried it on windows xp.

Unfortunately no bluetooth on my laptop either...double yeah I know ;-) It really is a POS!

I found the application Wifi Ad Hoc Enabler on the market, it require Root and it works grate for me, now i can see and connect to any ad hoc connection.

[Q] Internet pass-through

I want to surf on my Nexus using the surfstick internet connection of my pc via USB (or wifi). How can I setup this? thx

Although this has nothing specific to do with your new Nexus and your descriptions are pretty meager you should try this: http://www.connectify.me/

Of course, this is a Nexus issue. I already tried Connectify and established a Hotspot, enabled WLan on Nexus but it didn't find it. I guess I can only connect to networks from my laptop but can not be getting connected?!

Did you setup adhoc mode in Connectify? If so, the Nexus cannot see adhoc wifi at the moment.

yes, wifi adhoc. not "at the moment"? so it's gonna work someday..!?

Ad-hoc support usually isnt available out of the box, but our good friends here at XDA can hack the wifi driver to make it work.

I do hope so because I'm waiting for it as well. In Gingerbread days, you just have to replace wpa_supplicant with an adhoc-enabled one. Hopefully someone can compile wpa_supplicant from ICS source and add adhoc fix.

You really cant find anything about it on the internet to get it sorted. Strange.

Yes there is. I've been using connectify alternative called virtual router manager (assuming you use windows). More simple and stable than connectify

I've got Vista. I tried Connectify, established a hotspot, but it wasn't found by the Samsung Nexus.

When rooting my phone, I installed pdanet for the drivers. I realized it had built in tethering over USB, tried it out, and it worked!

Seems like this is for browsing only, and not for updating apps in the market.

at nexus7, you can have both wifi and wifi direct active. so you can transfer files thru wifi-direct and at same time browse web thru wifi (router). at my samsung tab2, if you turn on wifi, it shuts down wifi-direct automatically. can both be active at OneX?
thanks

now i'm running the JB OrDroid and i can't activate them together, i think you need a custom kernel for this kind of purpose
