[Q] Issues with WIFI on Galaxy Note with ICS

Hi
I have got the stock ICS Galaxy DDLP4 (baseband version) for India installed. I had rooted the phone and then installed the Franco kernel v5.
The issue is that my WIFI does not work on the phone.
I have tried Wizdom13 kernel also but still the problem persist. Also I have updated the Franco kernel to v6 but it does not work.
Could somebody advise me on a Kernel which I could install to get the WIFI working.
Regards,
Rex

Requirements to Enable Ad-hoc on Samsung Galaxy Note:-
1. You Devices is already rooted .
2. Need Root Explorer, Purchased it from android market .
3. Download wpa_supplicant+Root Explorer from here and extract both files on a folder.
How to Enable Ad-hoc for Wireless Networks on Samsung Galaxy Note:-
The whole process is to replace the existing wpa_supplicant file to the downloaded file from steps 3. Now check in brief,
Step 1:- Send Both files (wpa_supplicant+Root Explorer) on your Device either bluetooth or USB cable. Step 2:- Now install Root Explorer.apk files and open it. Step 3:- Now Go to this path /system/bin/ and click on Mount R/O Button to change from Read Only Mode to Read Write Mode. Step 4:- Rename the wpa_supplicant to any new name and then move the new wpa_supplicant to same path(/system/bin/). Step 5:- Now adjust file permissions of new file to same Step 6:- Change the /System/bin/ mode to read only mode. Step 7:- Now Enable WiFi and connect your ad-hoc network like a normal wifi network.

Thanks for your help. I tried installing the other available kernel like abyss, wizdom13, lp6 and each time deleted the dalvik cache and now I have installed franco ver 6 and the wifi works as of now.

I am running the AT&T Galaxy Note with to official ICS update, rooted with BusyBox installed and I have tried the above method three times with no success; once the wpa_supplicant file is replaced, the wifi will not turn on (no error shown). Reverting back to the original file restores normal wifi operation.
I have hunted high and low for solutions to allow connections to Ad Hoc networks but have yet to find a solution. Even hunted down a copy of the "WiFi Ad Hoc Enabler" that was pulled from the Market (Developer is short on time these days I am guessing), and it does not work either, same results only easier to reverse.
I know the official AT&T/Samsung ICS update has only been out two days but I am still hoping someone finds the tweak/patch soon to allow connectitons to Ad Hoc networks.
Thanks for any help.

User firesg seems to have gotten ad hoc connections to work on his device (not a Note), by using the command wpa_cli. But as gnocchi_ny points out in the same thread: this command seems to be not available in the ICS update that Samsung sent out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427207
so... if anyone can tell me if (and how) I can get the wpa cli on my Note, I'd like to give it a shot....

WiFi Channel 13

I have an original Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" and am having trouble connecting to my wireless network, as my router is set (on purpose) to channel 13. Due to congestion, I am unable to select a different channel (1-11).
Is there anything I can do to enable my GT-P9000 to support Channel 13? It's rooted & running CyanogenMod + cdesai's Jelly-Bean ROM (cm-10-20120730-EXPERIMENTAL-p1-cdesai). All my other devices (iPad/iPhone) appear to support Channel 13, so I just need to get this working now.
I'm sure it's probably just a matter of setting the device to support EU WiFi standards, but am unsure how to do this....
Any ideas?

Success!!
I solved my own question, for those stumbling across this thread, simply do the following :-
1. Install SSHDroid on the device
2. Install PuTTy on your computer (SSH terminal emulator)
3. Connect to your device by entering the HOSTNAME or IP address into PuTTy
4. Login using user=root password=admin
5. Paste the following command into the terminal :-
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "INSERT INTO secure (name, value) VALUES ('wifi_country_code', 'EU');"
6. Restart wifi or Reboot device
I am now able to see my WiFi network on Channel 13 using WiFi Analyzer (a very useful app by the way).

Can't you just run terminal app rather than SSH from PC?

''Wifix manager'' can set this without using the scripts, just type in the advanced ''EU'' or whatever country code you want.

Adhoc Support

Hi,
I have the Sony Xperia SP HSPA+ M35h C5302 Model
Running 4.1.2 Build No. 12.0.A.1.257 Rooted.
I want use wifi over adhoc on android since my wifi card does not support Access point thats the only choice.
I have used this method earlier also on Livw with walkman and was able to use the adhoc without any problem.
The method was:
Code:
All i done was first turn off wifi and then open wpa_
supplicant.conf in data/misc/wifi and placed
network={
ssid="Red"
mode=1
frequency=2412
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=50
}
in end. Dilushan should replace with wifi network name. Then got ownership back to system.wifi by typing the following 2 commands in Terminal Emulator.
su
then
chown system.wifi data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
thats all. Then i opened wifi in setting and it
automatically connected adhock network named
Dilushan. I
connected successfully to nokia phone wifi
network created by joikuspot and browsed internet
and also connected to a windows laptop. my
device xperia mini 4.0.4 .431 rooted locked
bootloader.
But when i done the same thing on the SP I can see the adhoc i added but it was showing "not in range"
If someone was able to do it please share.
Of if someone has edited tha wpa_supplicant file for the adhoc support for SP please share with me.

How to change Wi-Fi MAC in Bluestacks to a Specific One?

I am using Bluestacks 0.9.7.4101 which is already rooted. I want to change its Wi-Fi MAC Address as that of my mobile. So is there any way to change Bluestacks Wi-Fi MAC to a specific one? For example, 11:22:33:44:55:66.
I installed BusyBox and Terminal Emulator, but i am unable to change the Wi-Fi MAC. Somehow i managed to change the ethernet MAC, however it is still being listed as the fake MAC in wifi mac changer application. The wifi mac is listed as the real MAC in the app, which i want to change. Any help is appreciated....

Not sure which methods you've tried so far, but I found this method, I haven't tested it, so try at your own risk:
1. As you already have busybox and terminal installed, open a root shell in terminal (run "su" and grant access) note that all the following commands MUST be run as root
2. Run "busybox iplink show eth0" which will show your current Mac address, write it down in case you want/need to revert back
3. Run "busybox ifconfig eth0 hw ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is replaced with your desired mac address
4. Run "busybox iplink show eth0" again to check if it did update

tried that...it doesn't work....moreover eth0 shows only the ethernet mac and not the wifi mac....i even verified this with device id app....wifi and ethernet MACs are different where ethernet mac is listed as fake mac and wifi mac is listed as the real mac in the wifi mac changer app.....

Anyone found solution to change wi-fi mac on rooted bluestacks?

I've already tried everything. It's impossible.

with root and expose - or with bstweak and a lot of installs you can make fake wifi to work; and type there your mac and other wifi name and fake bcid etc;
and looks like is possible to simulate all real device ids or most of them

play whole day and changes most of things; deviceid; fingerprint details;
now stack tofind free app for gsf id and hardware serial;

MAC on Kindle Fire 5th gen

is there a way to use Ethernet for Internet on slimrom using a USB/Ethernet adapter and then change the MAC address of the device so that the original Mac of the Fire is used. I want the original MAC of the fire's wifi chip to show up when I use ethernet

I've been unsuccessful using the following in terminal on the device or from an adb shell -
ip link set wlan0 address XX:XX:XX:YY:YY:YY
I get the following -
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted
I've enable root user.
I've also gotten an error referring to the "transport endpoint" (can't remember the exact error).

Why would you want to do this? Just curious as to why it is even necessary.
