Hi. I have X8 with FroyoBread on it. My bootloader cant be unlocked and I have stock kernel. When I want to make WiFi hotspot it just doesnt work ( no error). I suppose its because of my kernel or something. I had same issue on Gingerbread v30. Is there any way to fix this?
Stock kernel doesn't support WiFi support. read here
try Barnacle WiFi Tether, that works. I have used it before, but it doesn't support tethering to mobile devices. it works if you connect laptop/pc.
Thanks for the reply. I tried Barnacle and like you said it doesnt work.
Barnacle does work but only allows others to connect to you via ad hoc mode. Only laptops and a limited number of mobile devices are capable of doing so. As far as I know it is not possible to set up the X8 as an infrastructure mode hot spot. Whether it's a hardware or a software limitation, I wouldn't know. Bottom line is - ad hoc is the maximum you're going to get.

I have Barnacle on my Vibrant. When enabled, it functions as a wireless router, but only in the ad-hoc mode. I use it successfuly with my Windows 7 laptop, but I found no way on the NC to enable ad-hoc mode.
Any ideas? Are there any apps that convert a phone into a regular wireless router I could use?

Barnacle works awesome! Thanks for the heads up of this app!
Wifi Tether app supports infrastructure mode for a true wireless access point (not ad-hoc) so long as your phone's chip is capable of doing it.

The better answer is to install the MobileAP on the Vibrant (if on Eclair), or go ahead and upgrade to a ROM based on a leaked Froyo. This will create an infrastructure mode WiFi network, which the nook will then be able to connect to.

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.

I'm tring to run WiFi tethering software so I can get internet access on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet. I have an original Motorola Droid phone. I rooted the phone and when I run any WiFi tethering software it's broadcasting in Ad-Hoc mode. For some reason my Tablet can't see any Ad-Hoc networks. So, this is a big problem for me.
My friend has a Droid Incredible and he has a custom ROM installed on his phone and his phone doesn't broadcast in Ad-Hoc mode, his phone broadcasts with a regular WiFi connection. Why does his work that way and mine only works in Ad-Hoc? Do I have to install a custom ROM to get mine to work in regular WiFi mode? If so, which ROM is recommended?
Another solution is to get my Tablet to recognize Ad-Hoc networks. Is there some way to do that also?
Thanks so much for all your help and time!
Which tethering app are you using?
Both Wireless Tether and the 2.2 default 3G Hotspot app are broadcasting in infrastructure mode.
I remember my Wii not being able to connect to a hotspot created via Wireless Tether - did'nt try 3G Hotspot yet...
Well, I've tried different Hot Spot Apps and they are all the same. I used the same app on both my Droid phone and my friends Incredible phone. His phone worked in Infrustructure and mine worked as Ad-Hoc. I don't know what default 3G Hostspot app you are talking about. My phone didn't come with any. From what I was reading it has to do with the hardware of the phone. Since my phone is so old it only supports Ad-Hoc and the newer phones support Infrustructure. I think that's what people are saying.
I've been reading there is a way to make Tablets see Ad-Hoc but I can't find any information on how to do it with the Toshiba Thrive Tablet. I guess there are different patches and you need to find the right version that's compatible with your Tablet.
So, the only solutions I can see is get a newer phone that supports Infrustructure or to find the patch that works with my Tablet and lets it see Ad-Hoc.
Thanks!

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.

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.

Yes, i know Already asked in that thread, but didn't receive any answer. Maybe i will flash it later, but i don't put any hope it will works.
Update: Ad-hoc wifi doesn't work...
hi guys. im new for this, i got old phone from my sister sony ericsson e15i and i wanna use for mobile hotspot. but i can find hotspot portable in menu " Wireless & Network " --> Tethering,. there only usb tether not wifi tethering.
can someone help me with this case, its use gingercruzt mod, 2.3 android. when i reboot there's clockwork cyanogend mod etc.
how can i tethering wifi from my phone? i try foxfi and barnacle its not work.
Thanks
Flash a custom Rom, GingerDx or something.
No other way really than the kind of apps you mentioned (Barnacle works for me). Try to find other similar apps and see if one works for you.
Also, keep in mind that your phone broadcasts in ad hoc mode only, and can only be "seen" by devices that support finding this connection type. Your average smartphone can't do this. Only laptops and some specific smartphone models can.
So, if you are using another mobile phone to find your X8, it's possible that your tether in fact works just fine even though you can't detect it with another phone.
If nothing works, and you really need this for some reason, try another ROM.
