[Q] gingerbread 2.3.3 ad-hoc support

Hi everybody!
so i have a rooted device running xwjv3 -latest official 2.3.3- and i really need to share my laptop internet with my sgs, cuz thats the only way to get internet on the phone.
so how do i get ad-hoc enabled in 2.3.3?
OR is there any sharing ways but ad-hoc so the phone can detect the access point?
by the way, computer's running windows 7
Ps. i already checked the wpa file and stuff, dont seem to be working on gingerbread.

Does this thread help ?

yea, thanks, it actually was my answer- kinda late though, but that's what i was looking for thanks

Glad it worked for you, I had to revert to wpa_supplicant v0.5.11 from the original thread to get it working..

man i have the same problem ,
if u find the solution plz help me

No need to modify wpa_supplicant binary
I changed data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf instead of wpa_supplicant. I added ap_scan=2, then set the adhoc network to
priority=1
mode=1
then pushed back the modified file. chown ownership back to system.wifi.
I had root access through adb. So root wasn't necessary for me.
Advantage: Safer than modifying system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant binary. Saves you the trouble of compiling modified wpa_supplicant or finding a compiled one for your platform.
Drawback: This is just a temporary solution.You'll have to repeat this process for every new adhoc network as it doesn't enable adhoc forever. It is good for connecting to your home network or other know networks, but if you want to connect to any adhoc network you scan,then this is not your method. Because, wpa_supplicant.conf will be overwritten every time you scan a new network.

Here is an easier alternative to the android to pc adhoc connections without doing anything on the device, only with a PC application ...

Access Point vs Adhoc
Thanks for the suggestion jota. But, the program suggested by you works in a different way. It creates an Access Point mode Hotspot( a virtual router ) to which Android can directly connect. An application called Connectify can create Access Point mode Hotspot for Windows 7 and above.
What we're discussing here is about another type of Hotspot- adhoc mode. AP mode hotspots are better and newer Hotspot standard, but Windows versions prior to Windows 7 and Nokia Symbian phones with wifi(using softwares like Joikuspot) cant create AP mode hotspots. It's possible to create AP in linux, but not easy for beginers as there's no simple program like Connectify available to do this. You'll have to do some command line works. For those who're stuck wid adhoc networks, this thread is a possible solution.

[RELEASE] OpenVPN for Nexus S

This belongs in Development, but I'm not allowed to post it there because I have fewer than 10 posts.
Anyway, I have compiled together a nice package for putting OpenVPN on the Nexus S. It includes all the files necessary to use OpenVPN, including the tun kernel module, the OpenVPN binary, a dependency of it (liblzo.so), and a nice GUI to configure it. This should work on any rom that uses the stock 2.3.4 kernel.
Instructions:
1. Install the attached package via clockwork recovery.
2. Go to the OpenVPN Settings, and under Advanced Settings, check the box that says "Load tun kernel module".
3. Under "TUN module settings", set it up so that it loads with "insmod", and the path to the tun module is "/system/modules/tun.ko".
That's it! I tried to make this as simple as I could.
Thanks to the following people:
*NielDK for the tun.ko kernel module
*cyanogen for the openvpn binary and liblzo.so file
*Friedrich Schaeuffelhut for the GUI

So this would let me connect to an OpenVPN server like a WRT54GL running Tomato?

Trying it right now.. Just found this after trying to install / set it up myself.... Will let you know.

Hi SomePerson - I just installed your openvpn client and it works great!!
I've been meaning to get my openvpn server up and running and this was just the excuse I needed.
I installed, followed the instructions you posted above and dropped the keys and configuration in the appropriate folder and everything worked - first time CONNECTED.
Any plans to add a widget for the homescreen or "notification power widget" to make it easier to turn on/off?? That is my only critique for the moment - REALLY nice work - and Thanks!!
I'm running a Nexus S (i9020a) on the ZeRoXs Custom ROM (based on 2.3.4) on AT&T and connecting to an openvpn server hosted on a Linksys 610N running DD-WRT.
Oh - also needed is a notification bar icon to show when you are connected...I connected this afternoon and forgot about it all afternoon and wondered why my internet was so confused when I got home and on WiFi (and on my vpn network directly).
Thanks for the great app...works WAY better than the bundled VPN solutions in android...

Thank you so much, I wasn't able to get openvpn working until now but this works perfectly.

i have the nexus s 4g.. on 2.3.5.
is having 2.3.4 and stock kernel a requirement? im running stock 2.3.5 and the matr1x kernel. im a VPN n00b and this looks like just what i needed.. everyone had good results

Works for me too but the only problem... this version of the OpenVPN client keeps saying in the notification bar
"Username/Password required for configuration vpnname"
so I can't tell if it's connect or not...
I also noticed this version is 0.4.8test1 where as the one on the market is 0.4.7
did you modify this? because I also looked on the official site and only version I can see there is 0.4.7
thanks

Hi! This is my first message, sorry for my English
I have got a problem with this file.
I have Nexus S with ClockWork mod by Superatmel and ROM SuperOSR Gingerbread:
Android version is 2.3.5
I have flashed succesfully this OpenVPN .ZIP, the instalation was succesfully, the configuration is correct.
OpenVPN correctly connects to my OpenVPN server but I have not internet, DNS doesn't work.
Anyone have this problem??
THANKS!!
Solution:
Click on client.CONF, PREFERENCES, USE VPN DNS and on DNS Server put: 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS).
Enjoy!!

tks, very useful!

Thanks for the VPN.

openvpn
can't connect to server it says username password required but i already made a txt file to route automatically with my openvpn account.

OpenVPN
Great job!
However, do you think it should work on Galaxy S2 with CM9?
Thx

[Q] Net Problem

Hi All
I was trying to enable adhoc wifi connections on my tab, so I downloaded a modified supplicant file but it didn't work. So I restored the old wpa_supplicant file.
But now the although I am able to connect to a wifi, and get a ip, I am not able to access net. Any suggestions?
Also could someone post a working wpa_supplicant file for Froyo.DDjK3 please.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Did you switch off/on the router?

I tried with a lot of different routers. None of them work.

[Answer?] GingerDX Wi-Fi disconnect problem

Hi, I think that the wifi disconnect problem of GingerDX is that the file /data/misc/dhcp/dhcpcd-wlan0.lease has no "User" permission..
Someone having that problem can confirm it? just have to install a file explorer (I thinks it has to be Root Explorer), go to that file and set User permissions for Read, Write and Execute..

wifi probs is fixed! u just have to forget the network and and connect it again newly!

I tried that so many times with no luck, but when I did that the problems seems to be gone.. So I want to confirm that.. I have seen that other user have that problem too, but I can't post in development forum yet.. u.u

i looked for the file but the dhcp folder is empty. maybe thats why my wifi is not working.

My wifi also sometimes disconnects but it quickly re-connects and everything is ok. Wifi on stock 2.1 was much worse. When it disconnected i even had to restart my home router. I think it is problem with my home wifi device. Maybe yours is broken, either?

get the wifi files from freexperia project.

that file is supposed to be created automatically when you are connected to a wifi network, I deleted it and was auto-created again..

Cant connect to wifi getting stuck @obtaining ip address then x8 reboots
