Has anyone been able to connect to a file share on a pc running Windows 7 RC1?
Been wasting hours trying to connect my Milestone to my iPad running MyWi but it looks like the fix is to patch the wpa_supplicant as was done here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961 - unfortunately none of the wpa_supplicant's over there (05 and 06) work on the Milestone (it stops scanning for networks).
Has anyone compiled it for a Milestone running 2.1update1 ? If not can anyone point me to tools that would let me try to do it?
Also I had a problem with the backup of my original 2.1update1 wpa_supplicant so if anyone can share theirs that would be great, would save me having to reflash.
Thanks !
Still no Milestone AdHoc patch, but the backup is here in case anyone needs it : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/904989/wpa_supplicant - courtesy of dtonator from androidforums.com
I am also interested in this, so I will be watching this
The Barnable WiFi Tether app there is a option to share the 3G over WiFi with wpa_supplicant turned off. After enabled this setting and allow root to the app, everything worked fine here.
hum...will load that app to see what happens (ok it's Barnacle, not Barnable http://szym.net/barnacle/), but we are trying to connect to an existing AdHoc network, not to use the Milestone as a wireless 3G modem.

Hey there,
Since Android isnt compatible with Adhoc, I was searching for a way to Make it work.
My NExus one, was up and running with Adhoc! (And Flying my Ardrone!) So..
I found a way to make it work!
Follow the following instructions and Enjoy!!
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/
Download the 'wpa_supplicant' file from this Threat!

Adhoc means connect to your computer in peer to peer mode. Use your computer / laptop as the bridge to access internet.
Thank u!

keep on disconnect, not working
Ad Hoc sucks, if you just want to surf use a VIRTUAL ROUTER
SOLUTION:
___________________________________________________________________
Try freeware software Virtual Router,
or if you want to do it old school via command prompt in Win 7 try see this link:

Surfing on Optimus without any hassle, very happy!!
More wpa_supplicant files
Hey there,
Ive tried 3 types of the wpa_supplicant files.
The one I linked is the One which worked for me, but its possible that another one is working for you!
You can all find them on the XDAforum.
Good luck!

Wow! It would be AWESOME if someone would try this out on the LG Optimus One P500.
this error is because of the permissions... check the permissions of wpa_supplicant. it's a program, beside permission to read and write, its necessary permission to execute... use 777, that is, rwx-rwx-rwx

Can someone edit wpa_supplicant for ParanoidAndroid v2.6 ?
many thanks
sorry for my english.
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.
