Good news, the wpa_supplicant replacement tweak works on the Streak 7 too so the silly "neutering" by Google (to please the carriers apparently) can be circumvented. You can now connect to WiFi AdHoc networks, that's generally the type of network that a tethered smartphone creates, iPhone/iPad with MyWy, Barnacle on Android (http://szym.net/barnacle/), etc...
The Streak uses the v0.6.10 version.
Original trick is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961
Since there was some confusion with the files I am uploading the one I used to make it easier.
The way I installed is :
- RootExplorer (requires rooted device)
- Go to /system/bin/
- Tap R/W at the top so it becomes R/O
- rename existing wpa_supplicant in /system/bin/ to wpa_supplicant.old
- paste new wpa_supplicant
- start and restart wifi
If you prefer to use adb, this command should do it :
adb push wpa_supplicant /system/bin/
You'd have to rename the existing one first though.
Hope it helps !
What exactly will this do?

Good for you, but that's probably because your phone creates a REAL wireless network like a wireless station, most tethering apps don't, like MyWi on the iPhone/iPad.
i have a streak 5 and with patches i got on other sites. They let me see the ad-hoc networks (*) but don't let me connect. All it does is go to obtaining ip address and the keeps looping at that.
Would this one act differently or will it not work for my little streak 5?
Probably wouldn't be any different, but that's strange, what AdHoc networks are you trying to connect to? Try to set their WiFi channel to 11 to see if it helps.
i tried to connect to my ar.drone and also a ad-hoc network i created on my pc. My wpa_supplicant is 0.5 on my streak at the moment. could that be the problem?
I can connect my ardrone to my pc. I can connect a laptop to my pc. But i can't get the streak past the "obtaining ip address". When i use static it connects right away but it connect nowhere.
With the new version of streakdroid it can with the ad-hoc fix included. When it didn't work i tried other ones and all with the same result. So i'm expanding my search to include similar systems.
Awesome!!!

THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!! This worked perfectly on my Streak 7......I even ended up buying "Root Tools" for this but ended up really liking it!
I can finally hook up to the iphone 4 data plan I'm already paying for ;-)
works for me
Thanks for the help.
Error Message-DjSteve HoneyComb RC3
I get an error message when trying to turn on wifi on DJSteve's HoneyComb RC3 version.
Awesome
Thank you so much for this! Works great from my Hero to DS7
Finally working "Adhoc"!!
Use this method on my rooted, stock 2.2.2, T-Mobile S7, works great!! Thanks.
My S7 finally sees and can connect to the adhoc networks.
Tried the S7 on two phones using "adhoc" wifi tethering, both works!!
First one, my old but beloved Nokia 5800, using "JoikuSpot", S7 sees the adhoc network and connect to it with "wep enable" with no problem.
Second one, Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini pro, stock android 2.1, rooted, using "Barnacle". S7 can see the Adhoc network but have a hard time obtaining IP or may I say most of the time failed to connect. Then I went onto the Barnacle forum and they suggest a solution, which is first connect another device to the Barnacle first then connect your S7 after that. Somehow this method works. By the way this method also works on iPads. Barnacle aware of this problem, and is working on it. So what I do is first "jump start" the network connection by using either my laptop computer or my retired 1G iphone, both works great, after that adding addition connection to the Barnacle network is a piece of cake.
Once again, thanks "webvan" for the information and the mod. This finally make my S7 complete!!
Does this file need to be switched back for any reason or will it be ok if its left in place?
I mean will it change anything else by leaving it?
Someone please help me. I follow the steps by OP and when I try to access wifi I get a error and can't connect. Any ideas what I am doing wrong.
Worked great for me! I'm really mad at tmobile for not updating the s7 4g, I will enjoy halting my data plan.

i followed the instructions precisely, but when i turn on the wifi, it says "obtaining IP address...." then it turns itself off.... i returned to the old wpa_supplicant file (the original)
any idea about how to fix this?
I have a similar problem with my dell streak 7 honeycomb 3.2.
I can connect to Ad-hoc network created with my Android 2.1 phone. Every thing seems to work ok but after using internet browser for few secounds wifi is going down. Also if I connect to another, infrastructure network after that, problem repeats until reboot.
I used adb to push patched wpa_supplicant. To make it executable i used command:
adb shell chmod 777 system/bin/wpa_supplicant
I'm having the same problem. After applying the patched wpa_supplicant file using adb I can no longer stay connected to infrastructure networks. Ad-hoc networks stay connected fine. I've tried deleting the connections and re-adding them to no avail. A reboot or disabling/re-enabling the wireless works for about a minute and then it disconnects.
At this point I'm ready to go back to the stock wpa_supplicant file, if I could find a copy of it somewhere.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi I have a G1 running the TheOfficial TMO DRC83 - US v2.2.1 + Expansion Pack and I can connect to the phone via WIFI tether, but I cannot get to the internet on the laptop that I am connecting from. I tried enabling Access Control and Authorizing the laptop, and I have tried disabling Access Control all together. I have tried connecting to an XP laptop, a Vista laptop, and an Ubuntu laptop. No glory... Help?
Sounds like you aren't using any software, which would be required for tethering.

I don't understand what you mean, I am using Wireless Tether for Root Users (my G1 is properly rooted), and I am trying to browse from Firefox on the laptop... I have also tried pinging a number of addresses. I have a good IP on the laptop, but it seems that the G1 is not forwarding the connection properly.

I was having problem connecting to my Wi-Fi using CM7 RC1 & nightly's 1-3. I have a D-Link 655 using WPA/WPA2 PSK encryption. It would get stuck in a loop: scanning... connecting... disconnecting.... However, it would tether to my HTC Hero using WEP encryption and to open networks.
I googled and saw that others had similar issues with CM7 and tried some of their solutions (reboot router, set Nook Color Wi-Fi to never sleep) but it didn't work for me.
I went back to Cicada's Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 after each CM7 install because Wi-Fi was working great for me. I did some digging into 0.6.8 zip file and noticed that it has a "scripts" folder in "/system/etc/wifi/softap/" that is not in CM7 also there is an extra file called "tiwlan_drv.ko" in "/system/etc/wifi/" that is not in CM7.
I pushed the entire "wifi" folder from 0.6.8 to CM7 Nightly 3, did a chmod 644 on the individual files rebooted and I was able to connect to my wireless network. I am not really sure what worked specifically but I thought that I would share in case someone was having similar issues or could possibly explain what is going on.
I am really enjoying CM7 and I am grateful to everyone on XDA and to the CM guys for their hard work.

Can you post a copy of that folder here so others can try it with out having to find rom to pull it from.
Same, please - would like to give it a try. Had only two fields to fill in on a EAP/MSCHAPv2 university network on stock rooted (username and pass), but lots more options and not working on CM7.
Well I've had no problem at all on multipel networks configurations, with CM7, and actually find it to be much more reliable than other installs. I have literally tried every possible config and they all work.
It doesn't make much sense for encryption to be responsible for the behavior your report (making and dropping connections).
1. Have you checked the network itself - e.g. use wifi analyzer, and look at the signal strength. You may be using a network that is in a crowded band, and adjacent devices may be trying to shout over each other (though the NC seems to generally be able to shout over my celphone). For instance, in my neighborhood almost everybody is on the default channels 1 and 6, which really cuts the range and signal strength of my wifi. Honestly you won't believe the improvement by switching to an empty channel.
2. Is you work network broadcasting over multiple channels? This is typical but it does mean that as you move around the building you will drop briefly as you switch from one router to another with the same SSID on different channels.
3. Have you installed any additional software that might be fighting with the system. For instance set CPU is now redundant - as the same functionality is built into CM7 and it will fight with the system if you install it. So you haven't installed any unecessary wpa_supplicant fixes, right? Or a profile manager? And you are not using a task killer, right?
I used a task killer last night and for the first time had problems with file explert connecting. After reinstall it started to work again. This was the only time I have had any problems with wifi.

I've tried several different builds of Nook Froyo (SD/EMMC), Stock Nook Color 1.01/1.1.0 & deeper-blue's Honeycomb v01 and they all worked with my wireless connection. Laptop also works.
I will do a fresh install of a CM7 build (wiping system, cache, data), reboot and the first thing I try to do is connect to Wi-Fi and It would get stuck in at: scanning... connecting... disconnecting.... I've tried to login numerous times making sure the password is correct and nothing.
After giving up I would do a fresh install of Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 and try to access my Wi-Fi and it connects on the first try. As I said, I am not sure why coping the wifi folder works but it works.
Disregard my post, moving to another area of campus made it connect smooth as butter.
I have installed phiremod nook V3 to my nc, everything is ok,
except for the wifi connection.
My nc can't connect to any hotspot even my iphone 4
but it can connect to my router (linksys 54-TM the setting is G not mix mode).
I want to try it but I don't know how to copy the wifi folder you provided to my nook.
Is it the script like that:
adb push ??? /system/etc/
How about the script for chmod 644?
thx a lot!
I have neither Wi-Fi, not USB working now
I have exactly the same issue with the nightly build 8 (2011-02-27) when connecting to my D-Link DIR-655 with WPA2 encryption. My Nook with CM7 would not connect in a meter from a router. I have other wireless devices, like PSP, Cruz Reader, Acer netbook, etc. and all of them work just fine, likewise the same Nook with the original firmware. On the top of that now Nook does not connect via USB to neither XP nor Window 7, which was also working fine with the stock firmware. I followed the instructions from the wiki.
Add one more nook to the wifi problem list. I've tried every encryption method and can't get my nook to connect. The only way I could connect was in "Open" and thats not an option.
Add me to the list as well. I just installed CM7 nightly 12 and I can not connect to my network. It worked prior to installing CM7, ie. rooted stock on the Nook.
I am also running the Dlink DIR-655 and WPA2 encryption as my main router. I also have an Asus working as a repeater using the same SSID but with all other settings the same.
I rebooted the router and repeater and the nook and I wiped and reinstalled CM7. Nothing worked and that didn't work. I get the scanning, connecting, disconnected loop. Without a connection, I really can't do much so I'm going to have to find another rom.
Thanks for this thread. I was trying to figure out why Nookie Froyo and HCv4 worked for me, but not Phiremod...then I realized that Phiremod is CM7 based. I really liked the look of it, but I never REALLY got to try it out because of the stupid wi-fi issue.
The odd part is at my school, the network is "open." I'll have to try this out and post my results...At first I thought it was the WPA_supplicant file that was all messed up and I was gonna push a different one from Nookie but I got too frustrated.
Switching to tkip-only encryption worked. There seems to be an issue with aes encryption and cm7 (on build 13 now).
-via Nook Color.
Pushing all the files worked for me. Don't push softap...you don't need to...
Just push the tiwlan_drv.ko, tiwlan.ini, and wpa_supplicant.conf files. You should be golden.

Are you still having trouble connecting to your iPhone? I am using mywi on it and trying to tether using mywi kills my NC 's wifi completely for all wifi networks.
I am not sure what it was on my DIR-655 but i set it to B & G only and it solved the connection issues for me. I am not sure if it is the encryption our CM7 NC's are having issue with or the Wireless N.
Was on CM7 12 and now on CM7 13. Been having problems with wifi all along. Thanks for this post. Will try when I get back today
Having same issue with Wireless N
I too was having issues with CM7 and not connecting to my D-Link DIR-615 Wireless N network (WP2 with AES).
I have already gone back to stock then autonooter 3.0... but that left me with very low usb transfer speeds (0.5 or less kb).
I will have to try this fix out.
Thanks for the post!

Another one with the DIR-655/WPA2 issue running with CM7. Anytime I enable N then I loose the wireless connection. Setting the DIR-655 to G makes everything connect.
On another network I run WPA2 on a Cisco e2000 and that connects without issue on N. The combination of DIR-655-WPA2-Wireless N seems to be the issue

I got a new Samsung Galaxy tab recently. In the first place, it could not see the adhoc network shared from my laptop. (Another device can connect to it.)
Then, I did lots of research and rooted it then changed wpa_supplicant file as discussed in the forum.
Now, I can see my adhoc network. BUT, when I tap it and try to connect to it, it fails on "Authenticating XXXX(adhoc)..." and Disconnected.
Can anybody help? The adhoc is really important to me, as I do not have a big capped Mobile Internet Plan. Without the network, the Samsung Galaxy Tab turns to a big size PSP.
Many thanks in advance.
BTW, it works on normal wireless network without any issue (At home).
It's your first post, so I'll cut you a little slack, but next time, use search first before asking!
If you had, you'd have found threads like this which should help you.
Remember - search is your friend!

Thanks for your quick response.
I have searched and tried for nearly 2 weeks and followed the exact percedures mentioned in that thread, but no luck.
I believe it is a seperate issue and may need a little bit more tweak to solve it.

My apologies! I didn't read your post fully, and didn't notice that you'd already tried wpa_supplicant.
Are you running Windows 7? If so, I suggest trying Connectify or Virtual Router which turns your laptop into an infrastructure hotspot.
Regards,
Dave
Yes, I am running WIN7 and I have tried to used both Connectify and Virtual Router. But, I have an "OLD" (2 years) Lenovo T61 and the wifi card (Intel 4695AGN) is not supported by ether Connectify or Virtual Router. (Please see following message.)
C:\Windows\system32>netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=vodafone_one key=Galaxy_P1000!
The hosted network mode has been set to allow.
The SSID of the hosted network has been successfully changed.
The user key passphrase of the hosted network has been successfully changed.
C:\Windows\system32>netsh wlan start hostednetwork
The hosted network couldn't be started.
The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.
C:\Windows\system32>
I have nearly the same Problem:
- Windows 7 (64 bit) on my Laptop (Dell Studio XPS 1640) and installed Connetify.
- Connetctify says it is not able to run as AccessPoint but AdHoc works fine, i.e. with my phone (Experia X1).
- My Galaxy Tab can see Connectify (after applyingthe suggested wpa_supplicant) but hungs with something like “Getting IP-Adress from…” and then switches the Connectify-Link to “Disabled”.
I tried it also with disabled Firewall, just to be sure: same result. Has someone a nice idea to this? Would really make me happy!
Cheers,
Thomas
please post your exact model of the galaxy tab and the software version

The following thread contains a discussion about adhoc wifi tethering.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082&page=48
Try using Wifi Analyzer to see if the channel you are using is congested. I too was having problems getting my Galaxy Tab to connect to an adhoc wifi connection, but was able to successfully connect after changing the default channel 11 to a less congested channel.
Thanks for your input! The Glaxay is GT-P1000 FROYO.XWJJ3.
Have tried with different channels. Default was 1. Changed to 3, than even the Experia X1 did no more work. With channel 5,6 and 7 the Experia works, but the Galaxy does not: tries to get IP Adress and then disables the Connectify-Link.

Hi, I had the same problem with my ace,but i could manage to connect to my ad-hoc network. but the problem now is i only connect, i still cant browse in internet with my phone,
what i did was to make an ad-hoc network-->turned internet sharing on.
and then in my phone-->wireless network-->wireless setting-->advance-->(then i have putted a tick for use static IP and then putted the Ipv4 address in gateway and for IP address the same thing as Gateway but with the change at the end of it and 255.255.255.0 for netmask and 8.8.8.8 for DNS1 and 8.8.4.4 for DNS2 and saved it,so i could connect to ad-hoc but still no internet connection
Hi,
I am having a problem using WM6.5 (EnergyRom Titanium) together with the Wifi Router in the Rom or WMWifiRouter for providing internet access to my MID816 Android Froyo Tablet.
First of all and for completeness, I had to make a little change to the WPA_supplicant.conf file in the tablet:
Code:
Ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/system/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wifi
eapol_version=2
update_config=1
[B]ap_scan=2[/B]
network={
ssid="droidhoc"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
group=WEP104
auth_alg=OPEN SHARED
[B]priority=99[/B]
mode=1
}
The bold lines are the ones I needed to change.
After that I tried using the wifi Router and WMWifirouter with wep enabled (and the extra line in wpa_supplicant.conf), but that didn't seem to work, for some reason my tablet wouldn't connect.
Next I tried without wep and well it did connect (both WMWifiRouter and the tablet confirmed this)... but I couldn't access the internet for some reason.
I tried the same using the TP and my laptop and my laptop didn't have any problem connecting to the internet using wmwifirouter on the TP.
Next I tried installing XDANDROID on the TP and after some initial problems I got Gingerbread running on it.
I installed Barnacle Wifi Tether on the TP (the build in only gave errors), got it running without wep and connected to it with my tablet on the first try.
It even gave internet access to my tablet.
SUCCESS... well not completely.
XDANDROID, although a wonderfull development, seriously drains the battery of my TP (RAPH100)... so it is not the best alternative when traveling. It gives a temporary solution, but still.
So, after all this, I'm thinking, if xdandroid can connect and pass through the internet to my tablet, WM6.5 should be able to also.
Just, I have no idea what the big difference is here.
So, if anyone could help me figure out how to get wmwifirouter working with my tablet, that would be incredibly helpfull. Maybe someone does know what the big difference is between using wmwifirouter and barnacle wifi tether ...
TIA
Probably best to ask that question (since it is related to a specific project) HERE
I see, but the thing is, that I don't have a problem when using xdandroid...
The only thing that is giving met trouble is wmwifirouter :s
The reason it won't connect is the same reason why my wife's tablet or my PSP won't either. They connect in infrastructure mode only. The wifi router creates an adhoc connection. I hope this helps. I really, really wanted my PSP to be able to use the wifi router.
It's solved!
I stumbled across this post today: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/385...-to-look-here/page__view__findpost__p__125320
the adhoc switching app doesn't work, but the line I have to use in the terminal does
This is the line I have to use in the terminal to be able to connect to the internet:
Code:
setprop net.dns1 192.168.3.1
Now, If only I could get that modeswitching program to work or even better use simple scripts to copy the correct wpa_supplicant.conf file and immediatly execute the above line...
And this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486486) did the trick
I made 2 scripts:
adhoc
Code:
cat /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc > /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
setprop net.dns1 192.168.3.1
This one I have to use before turning on wifi and after the connection is made (could also have made 2 scripts but this works just as well
And returning to the normal connection mode
normal
Code:
cat /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf.normal > /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Anyone got anything working for this ?
I've tried wifi tether for root users
and lots of others.
Nothing allows for infrastructure. Even tried 3GHotspot.zip and Black Hat zip .
Any help ? Anyone got this working ?
Check themes and apps threads.. if you want to tether to Windows or Linux or another android device only way is wifi tether v3 beta 4 or higher enable mss clamping in settings and you can tether using ad-hoc but that is about it. Is this what you are trying to do??

If I can fix on my phone ie add infrastructure, then I'll be ok. Otherwise I'll need to root and mess with the files on my tablet

You might have better luck finding a thread for your tablet and finding out how to change the wpa_supplicant so the tablet will detect an ad-hoc network. I used to have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" and had to find a patch and replace the wpa_supplicant (after rooting) so it could detect and connect to my android phone. What kind of tablet?
Only other thing I can think of is install the Verizon Hotspot app and pay for tethering.. that is infrastructure as far as I know.
