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.

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.

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.
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
I have a SGS phone and a Chinese tablet, the both have CM9 4.0.4 roms with wi-fi direct features..
But, wi-fi direct file sharing NOT possible..
Acc to the below info After the both android device's wi-fi direct is enabled, configured and connected each other, a file transfer is supposed to be done share/ via wi-fi.
But when I select a file and wanted to share, it does not appear "via wi-fi" option under share despite several trys with several file managers / explorers....
Why ? Can anyone manage?
"Step VI: After the connection is successful, you should try to transfer a file through Wi-Fi Direct, for this either you go to your file manager or gallery. Choose any file and click on ‘share via’ and choose ‘Wi-Fi’. It will directly start sending the selected file to the connected device."
