Have this working well and thought this info may help others...
First, your phone needs to be rooted and busybox properly installed. If you've rooted in the past few days, you're fine as the current payload-update.zip does install busybox with all of the links, but if you rooted early please confirm this before continuing.
Next, grab the tun.ko module from the OpenVPN thread.
Then follow the instructions for the Motorola Droid at the VPN Connections site, using the tun.ko you downloaded previously. The one caveat here is that you have to copy the module in recovery on the Incredible as we don't yet have rw access to the /system partition when booted normally.
Once you've restarted your phone after installing tun.ko, just install the latest VPN Connections apk and you're ready to go!
One point that confused me (for longer than I care to admit) is that once you create a VPN profile, you have to long-press on it to bring up the menu for connect/disconnect.
Enjoy!
Dave
which vpn connections. I downloaded latest from the store it opened but did not work.
then tried the latest from the site and it forces close. I'll start over tonight and try again.

I was working on this the other day, but I cannot get the phone to connect to my company's VPN - I setup the IPSEC ID/PW correctly as well as my user IP/PW, but I get an ISAKMP_N_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED. The one thing I didn't do was copy tun.ko in recovery mode - I just did a modprove /sdcard/tun.ko...it didn't complain and it seems like VPN Connections can find the device node without a problem.
On my linux box, I can run the same config options in vpnc and connect no problem...
I got it working after a couple days playing with it. My problem was that I had not installed busybox to xbin like their instructions outlined since it was already installed to sbin. once installed to xbin and proper permissions were granted, it worked like a charm.
Please someone post a complete how to. I cannot get this working. Busybox will not "--install" to xbin
Is there a secrete to getting busybox installed? I know this is weak sauce, but I need help.
Did you try installing busybox while in recovery mode?
where do I install busybox? /system/xbin or sbin?

I've got it in both places. It needs to be in xbin for the vpnc-script. I tried modifying the vpnc-script but running in to too many problems.
Those to configured their ASA
I am trying to setup the ASA for this VPN. Numerous vague (to me) unresolved errors. Phase 1 completes (easy).
Phase 2 Failure: Mismatched attribute types for class Encapsulation Mode: Rcv'd: Tunnel Cfg'd" Transport
Group = <group>, Username = <username>, IP = <IP Address>, All IPSec SA proposals found unacceptable!

I am not finding the answers to these issues. I have not been working on VPNs for long but have setup A LOT of client (Any Connect & SSL) VPNs. I tried to "match" those configurations and have failed.
Anyone know of a tut they used to set the VPN up on the Firewall side? Im sure one of these guys I work w/ can set it up in mins but learning the hard way is what "they" prefer. < a week later is enough, I concede!

I know about the comment to check the group password, but I copy and pasted it so I know it is correct. Any suggestions? Do I copy the busy box from sbin to xbin or do I need to look for another busybox, where do you recommend me getting it form? Sorry for the noob questions.
Ok So I looked and found that the Procudures I followed for Rooting didn't actually copy busybox to xbin so maybe the first post should be updated to mention to check that xbin actually has busybox. I used the same busybox that was included in the rooting guide.
Now I'm at a different error.
Error binding to source port. Try '--local-port 0'
Failed to bind to 0.0.0.0:500: Address already in use
that's fine, it means you probably have another process of vpnc running that didn't terminate. just ad --local-port 0 to the end of your command line.
So how is your ASA configured? Is it the latest software or 8.2? ???

Not sure. I just know that the Admin can connect with his Cyanogen Modded G1 and it works great for him. He has his NAND fully unlocked of coarse.
Thanks for all the help I'll post my next issue tomorrow.
Following this thread that was linked for helping to get this working on the Incredible.
I'm getting a constant "unable to connect" error... Where do I need to enable logging to find out more about where the error is happening at? On my ASA or on the Incredible?
Thanks.
I've never got it working but if you look above you'll see how I ran this thin in adb shell. That will output everything to console and tell you what is wrong.

Hello,
I was interested in getting Hamachi to work on my newly-acquired G1. After applying Cyanogen's Mod and rooting the thing, installing Debian (yay!) and setting up all the nifty scripts to make it semi-permanent, I focused on getting Hamachi to work.
First I tried the Linux tgz but it failed ("wrong architecture, teabag!" it told me.) ..so I looked around some more, and came across a build for the Nokia N770 (Maemo something-or-other) and decided to give it a try, and holy **** if it didn't work (after some tweaking.)
NOTE: YMMV.
Make sure your phone is r00ted. Can't do it without the r00ty-juice. Also, a Debian distro is required. See here for how: http://www.saurik.com/id/10
**EDIT** I just reflashed my G1, so I had the opportunity to try again and figure out the exact steps! Here they are, as they worked for me:
01) Download the N770 Hamachi tarball: http://files.hamachi.cc/linux/nokia-770/hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-lnx-n770.tar.gz .
02) Untar/ungzip it, it will extract to hamachi-n770-0.9.9.9-20.
03) cd into there, and run sh ./install.
04) mkdir /dev/net to create the node directory in /dev.
05) mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200 to create the tunnel device.
06) apt-get install sudo if you don't already have it.
07) apt-get install libcrypto++7 if you don't already have it.
08) ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7
09) sudo tuncfg to get the tunnel driver started.
10) hamachi-init to set up the initial configuration and RSA keys.
11) hamachi start to start up Hamachi.
12) hamachi login to login to the Hamachi network.
13) hamachi set-nick nickname if desired.
14) hamachi join network password if desired.
Success!! Got my G1 online and logged into my Hamachi network! I did apply this Linux fix (to make it stay online within my Hamachi2 network -- this is Hamachi 0.9.9):
echo KeepAlive 10 >/root/.hamachi/config
Maybe overkill, as it's gonna send a ping every 10 seconds over the air, which I'm sure will eat up my battery after a while.
--Weasel5i2
nice! been waiting for something like this for quite some time ;D having some problems though... it won't compile... when i run make install, just keeps on giving me a "Nothing to do for target "install"" Tried removing tuncfg folder and hamachi executable too (which doesn't work btw, says libcrypto is missing), still didn't work... any ideas?
Oh, thanks for reminding me! I also did an apt-get install libcrypto++7 when it gave a linker error.
As far as Make goes, it doesn't really compile (it is precompiled) as much as just copy the binaries to the proper places in the path.. Try doing the install of libcrypto++7 and see if it works for you.
--W5i2
alright... so ive tried installing libcypto 0.9.8 and renamed it to 09.9.7.... however it still says i need to run hamachi-init which doesn"t work!
Edit: alright, got it... i had to do sh install
Thanks, seems to work!
tip: the libcrypto.so.0.9.8 wich you have to rename to libcrypto.so.0.9.7 is located in /usr/lib
Can any of you two (Fish & Zero) whom have gotten this to work confirm what you did, and if "Debian" is needed ?

it does work, it only works on debian at the moment, since the binaries are not designed for android. however, the network connection should work with android too, since debian and android share their connections...
all you need to do is follow the instructions, but also run
apt-get install libcrypto0.9.8 and
mv /usr/lib/libcrypto0.9.8.so /usr/lib/libcrypto0.9.7.so (something like that check ls /usr/lib)
Alright so im still breaking my neck to get this to work but i dont get it.
This guy says "4) Untar/ungzip the file, run 'make install' and it should install without errors/warnings, IIRC.. (I did this last night)". What is he talking about ? Do i download the zip file, extract the folder in it to the root of my SD ? because thats what i have done so far. And if yes after then what comes next ? I cant put his puzzle together. -.- So lost, and i really want this.
You need a working debian on your android for this to work.
and even then its helluva lot of doing magic until it so much as tells you that it's started.
My Problem for example is that when i do: "hamachi start" it tells me that it can'T access the tun device (no such device) but it's there...
Dont worry about it, i went back to Hero after getting Debian working.
Updated PP
I reflashed my phone, so I had a chance to install Hamachi and document it again. As such, I updated the parent post with the correct instructions.
Enjoy, and please let me know if anything doesn't work and I'll happily try and help with troubleshooting.
--W5i2
Hmm almost eberything works except 'hamachi start' wich throws bad response from tuncfg (/dev/net/tun no such device)
Prolly a problem with my debian installation but you got an idea without reinstalling the whole thing?
You need to make the tun device first:
# mkdir /dev/net
# mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
I have since rewritten the original post to have more detailed (and proper) instructions.
^_^
-W-
Tried that after it was posted here in a reply (i think)
But to no avail (tried sudo tuncfg too but nothing changed)
Can't wait to go try this.
Does anyone have any VNC viewers (preferably free) that they recommend for use with this? My computer is behind a NAT router so I need to use Hamachi to access it.

Or my Evo 4G?
I have ubuntu running on my Evo 4G per the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=720622
I've followed the hamachi install instructions in this thread, but when I try running "hamachi start" I receive the following:
07 04:33:56.732 [ 0] [6315] tap: connect() failed 111 (connection refused)
Does anyone out there have any idea on how to fix this and get hamachi running?
This would be AMAZING on the Evo. Just imagine the possibilities of remote administration.
I have it working however I can only mount linux shares I cant mount windows drives
and what sucks is the ubuntu image wont let you paste files to filesystem ,root, home, or anywere. only from terminal.
I just loaded my AT&T version with cyanogen 5.0.5.3, and the wireless tether app does not work.
No matter the security settings I use, it always shows unsecure network on my laptop (OSX, Ubuntu and Vista).. If I set it to unsecure in the app, it still does not connect.
I have never used it before, but I am assuming the cyanogenmod kernel has the required bits for the app to work properly.
Am I missing something stupid?
Thanks

maybe it might have something to do with atnt not able to do it throught there network. like us tmobile users can use data while on the phone? dont know alot but that could be a possibility
Nah, wpa_supplicant is not negotiating wep for some reason. I just replace the wpa_supplicant.conf file with a very generic open key WEP config and it still does not work..
I need to dig through my broadcom nda's and find this chip, and see if I can use the firmware.. I'll just load it up in AP mode and run hostapd and be done with it....
Ad-Hoc just plain sucks, almost as much as wep...

lmgtfy.com - that was awesome - my family members are gonna feel like idiots asking me questions now!
I had not heard of that site before.
Regarding wep-encryption & CM 5.0.5.x:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=292
So, wep-encryption is broken (no idea why) on the latest cyanogenmod-build. Please use CM 5.0.4.1 - it works flawlessly there.
I will take a closer look the next days ... but it's hard to tell what is causing this - I don't know which changes were made on CM.
By the way ... why was this topic moved to Q&A
This is definitely an issue which needs to be solved and should stay in development!
Thanks - I googled for quite a while, and never came across that info. Tethering is not that critical (unless I am travelling), so I will just wait for a fix sometime.
I would have figured other in this forum would have hit it though?!?!?
-G
I've installed 5.0.5.3 and downgraded the kernel which came with 5.0.4.1 - and it start working again! So, I would say that this issue is related to the latest kernel (2.6.33.1)!
I've created an issue on cyanogemod:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=1217
i have wifi tether pre 8 on latest CM mod and its working great, wep works, and no errors in log.
I am having the same problem. I have both a nexus one and motor milestone. Tethering on milestone doesn't have problems but my nexus can't seem to connect as well no Sep security. I can see the my SSID, anyone can help?
There are obviously factors that differ between devices somehow. I too can change kernels and the issue goes away. Something is "missing" somewhere. A git pulled vanilla 2.6.33 kernel works just fine when booting the zimage from fastboot..
I have not looked at the cyanogen .config or wireless module source yet to see any modifications that would effect it...
I'm more interested in the module working in AP mode now that the driver supports it, and have been working on that...
-G
Because Motorola hasn't provided the .config file for the Droid X yet, I used 'make mapphone_defconfig' and then enabled config_tun in the resulting .config file. That .config file was used to generate tun.ko - it's currently functioning and working on my droid X phone. Since it's not the .config file used by Motorola there may be some oddities, unexpected problems or your house may explode if you use it. I don't take any responsibility for anything that happens if you use this - use it at your own risk.
It hasn't bricked my phone and it's been working without a problem, but your mileage may vary.
Attached is the .config file that was used as well as the tun.ko file
Enjoy

This lets you run OpenVPN or http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/ (allows you to connect to cisco, nortel or freeswan IPSEC servers
Would I need the config file or is that just for compiling other kernel modules for the DX?
The config file would really only be used to compile other modules. All you need is the tun.ko file
I placed this in /dev/net/tun/tun.ko
then I ran chmod 777 /dev/net/tun/tun.ko
then I ran insmod /dev/net/tun/tun.ko
I then tried the Gui app (get-a-robot-vpnc) and it fails immediately when trying to connect - am I missing something?

Hi,
You should place tun.ko in /sdcard/ or /system/lib/modules (if you have it mounted /system read,write)... I use the app "openvpn settings" - in that program when you go into the settings and choose "advanced" you can click the checkbox next to "load tun kernel module", then in "TUN module settings" set "load module using" to "insmod" and type in the proper path to tun.ko in the "path to tun module" area.
You may need to, as root (su) run:
mkdir /dev/net
busybox mknod /dev/net/tun char 10 100
ln -s /dev/net/tun /dev/tun
Best of luck
Do I need to set the path to the openvpn binary also? (Not sure where this gets installed)
And... what is required in the config file.
This is all I use on linux:
IPSec gateway X.X.X.X
IPSec ID mygroupid
IPSec secret mysecret

Hi Chris,
I think that would be something that the get-a-robot-vpnc folks will have to help you out with.
I got your tun.ko working with the commandline vpnc. It appears that get-a-robot-vpnc is just not quite calling vpnc how i need it to.

I have decided not to build a ROM anymore. Instead, I have been working on the "Proxy Configuration Tool for Alternate Carriers" so that you can use almost ANY ROM (including CM6) with MetroPCS AND Cricket, yes, the Proxy Configuration Tool for Alternate Carriers will also support Cricket.
As you can see, the Proxy Configuration Tool for Alternate Carriers is an open-source project and you can contribute to it.
Here's the current TODO list:
- BUG: Proxy actually not updating properly when setting it through the sqlite db.
- Find out the correct ip for the mms proxy server for both MetroPCS and Cricket.
- Find out the correct network interface used by the Motorola Droid on FroYo.
- Find out the correct eri.xml file for cricket.
- Setup screen first time it runs & check for the following on every boot.
- Automatically setup APN.
- Check build.prop and modify it if it's needed (backup too) (ask for restart if modified)
- Check /data/eri.xml and install the new one if it's needed (backup too) (ask for restart if installed)
- Check for u2nl binary, if not available install it in /system/bin/, it's in the assets folder. (ask for restart if installed)
- Check for sqlite3 binary, if not available install it in /system/xbin/, it's in the assets folder. (ask for restart if installed)
- Drop database tables and replace them with appropriate Carrier Settings in: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
- Document, organize and maybe improve configuration screen.
- It needs a better icon.
As you see, at this point is not complete, mostly due to the fact that the Proxy is not changing properly unless you reboot. It must be a stupid mistake on my part. I have been really busy lately and I have only been working on this when I get some free time, I figured somebody could contribute to this
If you'd like to test it go to the github link here and click on the Downloads tab and there should be an alpha version in there. I'll be building new versions whenever I clear out any of the items in the TODO list above.
Thank you.

WOW!! Ok I am currently running CyanogenMod 6.0RC1 on a HTC Sprint Hero and had a vendor here in town who gets ALL Verizion\Sprint CDMA phones on MetroPCS hook me up. He uses DamageControl 1.0 and everything works except the market of course..It does work on WiFi however.
My problem began when I just did NOT have consistent internet. It just was hit and miss. WiFi worked no problems. So I started messing around with different ROMS with NO luck at all. I have wiped and wiped (phone and SD card)everything you could do..Still notta!!! So I am super curious if this would work? I really just need my dam internet to work..It would be awesome if it was on this CyanogenMod 6 ROM...It's smoking and appears to be the best ROM I have found for a Hero..Man if anyone could help me get this baby on the net...I would be willing to pay.

It will work for you, but you must be sure to take one very important step before you attempt this, or you will end up with a bricked phone.

Using this rom, or any other rom for the incredible on a device that is not an incredible will result in an unusable phone, if not bricked forever!

That's completely right.
The beauty of what I'm doing here, is that, just like I did for the Droid Incredible and the Droid, it could also be done for the Hero and the EVO, since CM supports all of these devices. As long as the source is completely open of course.
Once I fix these issues with the u2nl binary not working properly, I'll update my winzip and build the "roms" for the Droid, EVO and Hero.
For now, this build above only works for the Droid Incredible.
Nice would this work for my flash metropcs hero? Please let me know.
Thanks

I have forked and prepared a vendor repo to build CM6 for MetroPCS on the Dinc.
DO NOT FLASH THIS UNLESS YOUR PHONE IS ON METROPCS AND YOU KNOW WHAT METROPCS IS.
Reason why I did this was so that anyone that wanted to "flash" a Dinc/Droid to MetroPCS didn't have so much of a hard time doing it, and also so that everything worked out of the box (including internet on apps, connected to wifi or not).
I also managed to build a little service "app" that runs on the background and detects changes on the state of wifi connections, and it activates/deactivates proxy (and u2nl) depending on that.
Wifi Disconnected = Proxy/U2NL activated
Wifi On = Proxy/U2NL deactivated
When proxy/u2nl is active, all data goes through MetroPCS's proxy server, otherwise use wifi's internet connection.
At this point, it works great, but it's unfinished.
- Calls and SMS work perfectly with no issues at all.
- MMS can be sent and received with no issues either.
- On wifi, everything works perfectly.
- On MetroPCS data, only browser works, for some reason the u2nl binary it still not working properly.
This is meant to be free and open sourced. Not a paid solution.
The "proxy switcher" also has a configuration screen which allows to change the configuration. You can use a custom proxy, activate/deactivate proxy/u2nl, etc.
If you have the time and know about this, please figure out a way to make the u2nl binary work properly, or contact me, my twitter is in my signature, or you can PM me and we can gchat or email. I have had limited time to work on this these past few days.
Everything is open sourced,
vendor config is here http://goo.gl/ISk6
"wifi switcher" (for proxy) is here: http://goo.gl/2wwM
Also,
If you are interested on doing this on the Motorola Droid, here's the vendor config:
http://goo.gl/kuX3
Here's a built rom, if you'd like to test it
http://bit.ly/aBa5Qr
As soon as you install it, let it boot, and open APN configuration (use AnyCut or BetterCut).
Edit the one that says "metropcs" and on on the username, make replace "MDN" with your phone number, press menu, save, and then click on the radio button for that entry. After that, MMS will work.
This is based off CyanogenMod-6.0.0 and it hasn't been modified at all. All credits go to the CyanogenMod team

I'll tell you what work for me.
You need to the u2nl.zip from whiterabbit.org
In that file you will find the autostart.sh file for htc hero eris under metropcs folder.
I have to edit the autostart.sh file in order to work getting rid off some lines.
This is the file I'm using. autostart.sh
export PATH="$PATH:/system/bin"
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -X
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o rmnet0 -p 6 ! -d 10.223.2.4 -j REDIRECT --to-port 1025
u2nl 10.223.2.4 3128 127.0.0.1 1025 >/dev/null 2>&1 &
exit 0
and that's all
I've pushed the files via adb in Clockwork recovery console mounting system and data
adb shell su
cd /data/
mkdir opt
chmod 0777 /data/opt/
chmod 0777 /system/bin/
exit
adb push autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh
adb push u2nl /system/bin/u2nl
adb shell
chmod 0777 /data/opt/autostart.sh
chmod 0777 /system/bin/u2nl
reboot
Result is working

Yeah, if you take a good look at the vendor source I posted on the OP, this is basically what I'm doing (especifically this file). At first I tried building u2nl from scratch that didn't work, then, just to try it, I tried the u2nl binary found in whiterabbit.org and that didn't work either.
There's still something wrong with this setup I'm using, but I haven't been able to track it down yet, I did this about 2 weeks ago but lately I haven't had the time to troubleshoot it all
Link to your ROM is dead.
Been trying to get the new Skyraider 3.0 to work on Metropcs

Sorry, I was messing with some files and screwed up the links.
I'm currently rebuilding it again with a few changes I made and also sync'd everything with CyanogenMod's source.
Will post new link tonight and also have builds for the Motorola Droid and HTC EVO.
Updated OP with latest build. This is based on latest CM6.

Thanks! I couldn't sleep so I finally figured it out
I mounted the Skyraider 3.0 RC2 release, everything works except hulu on data without wifi which is ok cause metro is slow data anyhow.
I read past instructions to get data to work I just used whiterabbit u2nl File but it seems he has a "new" folder with an edited autostart which when I pushed it on works fine...
No need to edit anything, I can switch on and off wifi no problems...

That is strange, nothing works for me except the browser, as in, only the proxy is working and not the u2nl... I'll work on this tomorrow again

+1 This worked for me on Skyraider 3.0 RC2.
Thanks!!!
Will try it on CM6 now.
Edit: Won't work on CM6 NIGHTLY 08/24.
Works on IncredibleDoes AOSP - FRF91.
I got it working on CM6 RC3.
Now we just need Skyraider with the Froyo Final
Why did you guys have to use the edited autostart though?
Wondering why mine works and its so different...
Hi all,
trying to get my feet wet with some android hacking and thought getting my AR.Drone to work with my legend would be a good start. It requires connecting to the ad-hoc network created by the drone. The normal way is to edit /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini as described e.g. here: projects.ardrone.org/boards/1/topics/show/1098 but /system doesn't seem writable even though I have root. I then found this app for the desire: code.google.com/p/desire-adhoc/ but the legend has a different wifi chip, so it didn't work. Attempting to reproduce what that app does I did
$ adb shell
# su -c 'insmod /system/lib/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko'
insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko' failed (No such file or directory)
even though that file definitely exists. Am I missing something here, or is that part of the annoying restrictions still present even on the rooted legend? Ad-hoc wifi must be possible somehow, the wifi-tether guys managed to get it to work. Unfortunately their code is a bit over my head. Any pointers?
thanks
-felix
Do it from recovery mode. We don't have access to /system in normal usage of phone (you get used to it).
okay, I guess I have to learn how to bake my own update.zip.
still curious though, why am I getting "no such file or directory" if it's clearly there (and a similar method seems to work on the desire)?
I also tried this:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961&highlight=legend
Which is a quite cleverly hacked wpa_supplicant, but that resulted in no wifi at all any more, even though the patched supplicant is officially the same version. strange.
any clue how the wifi-tether guys do it?
No, those command work. Boot your phone to recovery mode, then mount the /system partition from the ClockworkMOD menu. then you can execute your commands, they should do it.
Also, questions like this shouldn't really be in the development section. Just so you know.
You got it all wrong guys... first you dont need to su -c as you already are root. Second... you need to load sdio.ko prior to tiwlan_drv.ko. And no we do not perform these in recovery mode
I thought he was editing files... Oh well, I'll read more carefully in future. Sorry guys.
EDIT:
Yeah, look:

So he could edit from recovery mode. But, I was still an idiot, I said to do the insmod things from recovery. I am very sorry for wasting time here, I'll learn to read carefully and give proper answers.
Sorry

hmm, okay. I figured since I'm _trying_ to develop something...
well, next time.

aaaahhh, that got me a bit further thanks! very confusing error message...
so module loading works now, but the phone just reboots a few seconds after I set
"iwconfig tiwlan0 mode ad-hoc"
any further advice?
Also I guess the confusion was my own fault since I rolled three different ways of doing one thing into the same post...
Oh man, I've said all the wrong things today. I'm so sorry. I'll just leave this thread now.

Yes. Loading modules just isn't enough in our case. You need to load firmware too before you bring interface up otherwise your system will reboot
Check Gratiend ROM thread or look into init.legend.rc for hints on firmware loading...
thanks. found this
/system/bin/tiwlan_loader \
-f /system/etc/wifi/Fw1273_CHIP.bin -e /proc/calibration \
-i /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini
after googling init.legend.rc. doesn't seem to make a difference though. also tried using tiwlan.ini from the wifi tether guys, but no luck. device still reboots after setting ad-hoc mode. I guess I give up, there's no-one answering to my question on the wifi-tether google group either. i guess just because it's open source doesn't mean it's for the uninitiated...
Try sleep for 1 or 2 seconds after you load firmware, then bring interface up or start wpa_supplicant.
I you are using patched wpa_supplicant I guess you will have one more obstacle. It supports only wext aware devices and I guess our driver is not wext aware...
I solved the problem by installing Cyanogenmod (all other tries failed)

I enter the commands by hand, so there's already a delay in between. And I'm doing this by hand precisely because the patched supplicant didn't work on the legend. I guess now I know why. Thanks for all the advice though.

I had a CM6 nightly installed and toyed around with it a bit, but I actually use my FM radio (I know, barely anyone else does...) so I need to use a HTC ROM. liked the CM6 in a lot of other respects though. still out of the question for now.
Also I would eventually like to contribute whatever comes out of this to a proper AR.drone app that requires root and nothing else.
