Wifi Supplicant that works with both ad-hoc and WPA Enterprise? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So on my 7'' tab when running the stock AT&T firmware and also the Overcome 2.3.3 rom WPA Enterprise works and ad-hoc doesn't.
After changing the wifi supplicant file to a ad-hoc compatible one ad-hoc works and WPA Enterprise doesn't. Does anyone have any ideas?

Which AD HOC file did you use?
I used several of them, and all seem to no avail,
Thank you

This is the only thread that came up when I searched the Galaxy Tab forums (all) for "supplicant"
I USED to have one that worked great, but like a nitwit lost it when I upgraded to Overcome 2.4 or whatever because it was on the internal SD card and not the external. I thought it was posted here on XDA but I guess not.
I'll post it when I find it.

which leads to

Which does not work on the Tab Though I'm pretty sure the one that worked on 2.2 was also a modified Galaxy S supplicant file.

Actually, I take it back, after updating to Jupiter now it just restarts when I try to use the supplicant I was using before.
So back to square one.

[Q] Wifi tether with WPA2

I swear at one point in time I had a version of Android Wifi Tether that allowed me to use WPA2. Can I still find the apk for this or am I just thinking crazy thoughts?
i have such in CM6 on Desire. would like to get in on TAB...
i've installed WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.0-pre11 which is experimental and includes WPA2, but it doesn't have TAB on the list of devices profiles.
so tethering starts with errors and it doesn't show up in the networks list, i think something's wrong or missing for TAB
the link for the tool is

[Q] Does WiFi Ad Hoc Mode work with 1.2?

I was wondering if anyone had tested the new update (1.2) with Wifi in the Ad Hoc Mode as is commonly used with WiFi Tethering apps? Version 1.1 could not see a ad hoc WiFi network without some file modifications.
answer from a newb
No it still does not see adhoc networks, what modifications do you speak of, for that is what i would like my nook to do, see and connect to adhoc networks. i assume i will have to root it, and if so is there a clear easy way to root the 1.2 update? or even better have the stock system and rooted system side by side (i think i read that you can use the sd card to hold the root info on. i a newb to all this rooting stuff, but want to expand and learn.

I am rooted on the stock 1.1. I use the ad hoc switcher (search these forums) when I need ad hoc to connect to my rooted Moto Droid with WiFi teather. If ad hoc is still not working with 1.2 then I will probably continue to use the switcher for the few times when I need it.
Still waiting on an auto-neuter for 1.2. When it is available, I will flash back to stock, upgrade to 1.2 and then auto-neuter 1.2. I used it for 1.1 and it was flawless.
If you are on stock, unrooted 1.2 then you might want to wait for the auto-neuter as well.
Ad Hoc is still broken. I had trouble also trying to use connectify (win 7 wi-fi sharing app)...my NC couldn't pick up the WPA2-PSK network. So no luck there either.
Ad-Hoc works for me without any modifications under 1.2 and sleep works without having to turn on and off the nook to get wifi to work again. I am in love!
Ad hoc now works fine with 1.2 -- just tried with with Wireless Tether and my Droid X.
Has anyone tried with the myWi from any iphone version?
Yes that's how I tether...it's working wonderfully with 1.2 no hack needed

Are you sure it is stock 1.2 and you are on a ad hoc network? It is still an android system that will not see ad hoc. I tested it today with windows wifi router on ad hoc and the nook would not see it.
My personal experience ... the ad hoc patched wpa_supplicant file on nookdevs.com and some xda forums works on all versions of nook color, stock mods or even honeycomb preview. But does not work on stock or rooted update 1.2. Apparently this is because the working os versions are using version 5 of wpa_supplicant and the patched verson is also version 5 ... nook color update1.2 however uses supplicant version 6 and no one has recompiled an ad hoc patched version 6 wpa_supplicant yet for the nook color as has been done for other phones and tablets on xda forums. While some people think they are connecting with phones via ad hoc, using version 1.2 of the nook, there phones are most likely generating aps in infrastructure modes and not ad hoc mode.
New, rooted 1.2 needs WPA supplicant fix for adhoc
At least in my experience. I bought my nc with the 1.2 already pre-installed. It would only recognize the infrastructure wifi. I have the droid 1. It does not have the option to become a WiFi hotspot as newer phones do (30$ through Verizon). With wireless tether/barnacle I've been able to connect through the droid as an adhoc network, but only after the wpa_supplicant fix. I use it every day this way, as there's no WiFi at my office.
BTW, it does go between my home wifi and my droid adhoc without having to make any additional hacks beyond the most basic one. It seems to recognize both easily, back & forth every day.
Rsptexas, just wanted to (respectfully!) be clear that the droid 1 is definitely adhoc, no question whatsoever. Though I'm aware people are getting confused about what their phone puts out. I can't recall which version of the supplicant fix finally worked, as I tried several. Don't give up on it folks, you can really get adhoc to work on 1.2
Final thing then I'll shut up: 'toolbelt' says the wpa supplicant fix in post 872521 on this forum has the version of the fix that works for the rooted 1.2 ( junior member, can't do links yet, sorry).
Just type the number of the post in the search box at the top of the page
I can verify that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872521 does work for Manual nootered 1.2. I did not even need to apply the change back to infrastructure.
There is a lot of false info. out there. Many people think their phones are running AdHoc when in fact they are running infrastructure. Many modern modern phones can do infrastructure, and some roots provide it for free.
My lil old Eris, definitely does not support it.
Now my Nook can connect through AdHoc.

Problem w/wifi tethering after install Gingerbread

Hi Forum,
I cannot get my Sprint tab to see my phone after installing Gingerbread. My computer can see the phone and connect it, but the tab won't. Before Gingerbread, I was able to scan and connect to my phone and tether just fine. I tried diff. wifi tethering app. Currently use Barnacle. My tab is not rooted, but that should not be a problem.

I was in a hurry! Fixing the wife issue is going to be a lots more difficult.

which version of GB do you have installed? Is it the stock sprint update? Have you tried the WPA supplicant fix for it yet?
I using Sprint OTA Gingerbread, 2.3.4. Build number EF17. I have not tried the WPA supplicant fix. I did not have problem with this issue on Froyo. I will research on this. I would like some tips if you got them. Thank you !
I found a link on the issue, but require root. I am reluctant to take this step. It is not that I don't know how to use Odin, but removing root is a pain.
Here is the link to WPA supplicant if any interested.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=854913&highlight=adhoc
from everything i've read, you won't be able to connect to ad-hoc mode wireless (most wifi tether apps) without the wpa supplicant patch. you might look into a wifi tether app that will do infrastructure mode to get that working again.
@ pvtjoker42,
Thank you for the tip. I did some further research and the Wifi Tether app works in infrastructure mode too. If any one interested, here is how you do it. Choose device profile- I chose Samsung Galaxy S. I also tested Samsung Galaxy Indulge. Under Setup-Method, choose Softap ( master). Now your Samsung Tab will see the phone. This app drains battery like no tomorrow, much more than Barnacle.

Mobile AP network changed in gingerbread update?

I noticed that after I updated my i9000m from froyo to gingerbread the Mobile AP settings page seemed to have change, so i was currious if the way it tethers chaged as well to the standard android ad-hoc structured network.
reason i ask is because i have an hp touchpad and noticed that it can not recognize my wireless hotspot and reading up on the reasons of why that might happen is because the hp touchpad doesn't support ad-hoc networks.
correct me if i'm wrong but in froyo the stock Mobile AP wasn't a ad-hoc network structure.
anyone else with a touchpad manage to get it to tether with with their i9000

[Q] ad-hoc wifi on Galaxy Note

Hi,
I'd like to share my 3G access on Nokia E71 to my Galaxy Note.
On the E71, there is a software to share the network over ad-hoc wifi connection. (Joikuspot)
But as far as I know , wpa_supplicant on Galaxy Note does not support ad-hoc.
Is there a modified wpa_supplicant which supports ad-hoc for Galaxy Note ?
p.s: this method is working on my previous phone Dell Streak
Thanks.
hi,
I've found one wpa_supplicant on another forum. but that doesn't work. (wifi can't go enabled)
is there no wpa_supplicant suitable for Galaxy Note ?
any interest in this ?
Have u try barnacle wifi tether?
I exactly dont remember but it was barnacle or wireless tether that i hav used on sgs, that i think support ad hoc
I'd like to use default system settings, not a 3rd party app.
So a wpa_supplicant would be lovely.
where can we find one ?
maybe something for SGS II would do...
ok; I got it from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115610
works fine...
attaching here if anyone needs.
just have to manually configure DNS (or put a /etc/resolv.conf with nameservers)
but I already did that to support VPN connections.
I tried this method and copied the file you gave but did not work. The wifi is still working fine but not ad hoc. Do u have any idea why?
disregard that, it worked perfectly. Thanks

hey.. with your file i was able to detect my wifi hotspot (connectify) that i made on my laptop (win 7). but its is not connecting. it just shows searching for ip address. i dont know the configuration for ip settings (in wifi settings/advanced in phone). i dont think i have static ip either for my internet. im trying to share a wireless data card connection (mts mblaze). what should i do? what settings should i put in ip settings in the Note (ip address, dns1,dns2 etc..)
I found the application Wifi Ad Hoc enabler on the market and it worked grate for me, now i can see any ad hoc and connect normally
I'd like to know about this as well.
it seems I can see my adhoc connections but I CAN'T Connect to them. Any help would be nice.
w w w .hackillusion.com/ how-to-enable-ad-hoc-wireless-networks-on-samsung-galaxy-note/

Can anibody founded a solution for adhoc wifi connection?
is the above links solution not working for u?

No, above solution is for GB ROM only, on newer ROMs (ICS&JB) it's not working. I know in Windows 7 there is a solution with virtual (or soft) AP, but in Windows XP it's not a solution, because XP has no support for softAP, only ad-hoc networks (so programs like Connectify or mhotspot, VirtualRouter, etc. NOT works.) At my office i have only Windows XP & ad-hoc network, and this is why i need working ad-hoc mode on my Note.
So, up to now, i tried at least 10 modded wpa_supplicant file on my Note, and none of them worked. Some of them had blocked WIFI on Note, others had worked, but don't seen the ad-hoc networks (like the original wpa_supplicant), so i think maybe the problem it's not only wpa_supplicant related. I found an ICS ROM (ICS_Stunner) which claims that has support for ad-hoc connections, but i didn't tried out, because its outdated (i only extracted the wpa_supplicant file from ROM and tried on my current JB rom, but didn't works).
So i think we need a good developer who can resolve this...
now there is a cream & cookies JB rom from the sam developer of ICS Stunner. If stunner had it.. it should be in this rom as well. worth a try i would say.
