Hi everybody. Now that I have rooted my mini I could install Barnacle wifi tethering for connecting to my laptop. But after long trials I am still not able to connect my phone with my laptop.
Can anybody with prior experience help me in this regard
For wired tethering I use Easytether which works great.
I havent tryed yet, but try setting the WLAN interface to "tiwlan0" and/or try skipping wpa_supplicant

Wonderful. It is connected with your suggestions. Many thanks.
Partha
Thanks, I also got this to work. What I wonder now is if it is possible to have security for this tether. When we choose skip wpa_supplicant then the security is disabled and it is an open network. When traveling and visiting public places I would be somewhat uncomfortable to have this open network. Barnacle does provide the WEP security option, but in order for this app to work with the x10 mini we need to choose skip wpa_supplicant which opens up the network to all. Any ideas?
I had to change WAN-setting & disable security too to even find the WiFi network.
However, when I connect it doesn't work. I see the in Barnacle "traffic"-pane that my computer sends requests when I try to load a webpage in the browser. But the down-traffic won't increase. Anyone know the next step in troubleshooting?
i left all the settings stock except turned on skip wpa supplicant. mine works great i ran ping- t all night and only lost 15 packs 0% loss, which is less loss than my friends cable internet.
when i first got it working i was using a mix of settings and i had to hit associate every 5 min or my laptop would stop having access to the internet but still remain connected to the network. so i just reinstalled it and it works great now.
This feature is one of the main reason why i bought an android device.
Edit:
after a few more days of pissing about with barnacle i realized that it cuts out when ever the phone is not being charged and falls a sleep and as long as i keep the phone awake its fine. the solution i came to was to open music player and play a song with the volume off and that keeps the phone from going into sleep mode. i know there's supposed to be a setting to stop wifi from turning off while in sleep but i have a branded rom and it doesn't appear i have the option. hope this helps someone.
There are two versions out there, 0.4.2 and 0.5.0. What version do you guys run?
anyone share the settings for barnacle wifi tethering. Its not working in my rooted x10 mini.

You can disable wifi sleeping on Settings -> Wireless controls -> Wi-fi settings. Push menu button and choose 'Advance'

I have the exact same problem and have tried everything listed here Anyone find a solution??
It works for me now using Barnacle Wifi Tether 0.6.7 and a SE X10 mini 2.1. Had the same problem before. Now my settings are:
Wireless Encryption: Wep Enabled (with hex password code)
Channel: 6
"Skip wpa_supplicant" - unchecked
Wan: tiwlan0
Hi all.
BarnacleWifi worked fine for two weeks but until I setup new android vertion 2.1.1.A.0.6 he doesn't.
Anyone try it with this one ?
Regards,
Devilo.
Edit: I can see the network on windows7 but when I try to connect, it freeze on "Identification" and I never have ip adress
DHCP doesn't work.
Same here :-(.
It finaly works on my mini with 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware.
On MiniCM-1.0.0-Alpha2, Froyo Cyanogen 6.1 port for the mini "Rom"
Dont forget skip WPA supplicant.
Regards
Devilo.
On X10 mini Barnacle works without skip wpa suplicant! After a few trys and som Observation I found the Problem. Every baconinginterval the adhoc Network have a other MAC. I try to set a fix BSSID in Barnacle but now i can't find the Network so i undo it.
After some Trys i found a workaround:
1. Start Barnacle
2. Press Associate
3. Try to connect with your Computer
4. After entering password, your Computer try to connect, press 1 time again Associate
My Settings are:
WEP Encyrpting: Enabled
Skip wpa_supplicant: Disabled
Auto Associate: Disabled
WAN: rmnet0
still not conneting
It's still not working on my x10mp 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware. My PC (Debian or Win7 have the same problem) still doesn't connect.
Barnacle on phone is showing no errors. PC is finding the wireless network but can't connect. Looks like it does not get an answer from phone (no IP address assigned).
I surely have tried all the advices from this forum and any google search gave me.
Same problem here guys - this was the reason for rooting my x10 mini

same here..
And I haven't found any solutions yet ... thankful for any suggestions ...

This isn't exactly an answer to your question but they found a way to activate the native hotspot feature without rooting or adding a tethering plan. I included the link to the thread and the instructions found within it.

Once you verified internet is working, power off phone, then power on. Phone should still have active internet connection, if it does, you are done!
I prefer to use barnacle, because you can do MAC based filtering (default deny, with questions for allow every time). Has anybody tried Barnacle on the Atrix with root?

What is the benefit of using the native ATT tether feature over barnacle? It seems to me that ATT would be more likely to discover your use of tethering if you use their native client and access points.

Not to mention that I got faster speeds when using Barnacle than I did the blank AT&T APN - 4.26 Down / 0.33 Up using Barnacle - 2.70 Down / 0.29 Up on the APN tethering....
For those wondering how to get Barnacle since the stupid Android Market says "this item is not available for your carrier," a big F-U to AT&T on that one, just root your device and allow side loaded apps, then from your computer, go to:
http://szym.net/barnacle/
and download the direct link.... You'll have to manually update it though (if necessary, works great as is on the current 0.6.7 version), because even with using Appbrain, it shows up in the apps sync'd, but will not open the market app to update, when necessary.

I don't have my Atrix yet (get paid on Monday), but on my current Streak, there are 2 ways to get Barnacle: Settings->Wireless & Networks->Mobile Network Settings -- Uncheck "Data enabled", then turn on wifi and download from the market.
The other (unconfirmed) option is to just use the Android web market: market.android.com . Search for Barnacle, install it there. It worked on my phone, but I had it installed previously. I don't think AT&T can block those installations, but I am sure they would if they could, so YMMV.
Barnacle not working for me.
For some reason, Barnacle Wifi won't even let my computer connect to it. It says it's sending out the signal, and my laptop is trying to connect but it just won't. My other smart phone won't even find the signal B.Wifi is sending out. The only thing that seems to work is using the native hotspot after following the instructions listed above. Just curious if anyone else is having an issue?

Since the app doesn't need an update just yet, I can't confirm the first way you suggested. But I can definitely UNconfirm the second - that's where I got the text from that says it cannot be installed on our carrier. I almost always use the computer to search for apps as opposed to the actual Market app on the phone.
Was sitting in the passenger seat of a car going 80mph down the highway earlier and was getting a great connection with Barnacle the whole 3 hour trip. Love it, didn't even bother with the APN tether!
what kind of computer are you using. i have the Chrome CR-48 and it doesn't work because they can't connect to ADHOC networks. Tethering sets up an ADHOC network, not infrastructural like your Home Wireless Routers

An easy way to bypass the Market check is to download MarketEnabler from the market and temporarily change the settings to another carrier (e.g. I tried Telstra). This will allow you install Barnacle directly from the Market.
I also find that Barnacle works flawlessly. The Native Hotspot feature also works with no problem. I have found however that the native hotspot requires high speed or it will not even start. Barnacle on the other hand will work when still within the Edge network if need be.

Pretty cool, I'll have to try that, thanks for the suggestion!
Another satisfied Barnacle user here.
I am new to Android and when I got my Atrix the first thing I did was root it with SuperOneClick. I tried tethering it using the XDA's forum instructions for APN but couldn't get it to work. A friend of mine suggested Barnacle and I've been rolling ever since.
I was a little confused when my laptop showed the ad-hoc connection and symbol rather than a 'traditional' wifi network, but my connection is solid.
Now to wait on AT&T to do their thing and turn the psudo-4G switch on.

This works PERFECTLY.... Just used T-Mobile (a little closer to home than Telstra is in Australia ) and updated Barnacle - will be doing this for any other "issues" AT&T throws our way......
I was able to install Barnacle as well as PDANET by
***WARNING*** Make sure you know your Moblur login information before proceeding. It was the account you created when you first got your phone.
1) Turn off the phone.
2) Remove the AT&T SIM card
3) Turn the phone back on(It will make you login to your Moblur account again)
4) Connect to your WIFI
5) Install Barnacle and PDANET from the Android store.
6) Turn off the Atrix
7) Re-install your SIM chip
8) Enjoy the applications
I have found that this will work with alot of apps that you cant DL from the store because of AT&T's policy's.
I was unable to manually update Barnacle after side-loaded, could you include the steps you used to manually update?
Thanks!

Hello XDA devlopers,
I'm trying to connect to a WPA EAP network in my school, or a 802.1x EAP network as my mini pro regocnizes it.
when trying to connect it asks me for a password/password consisting of 8 letters/numbers.
i have tried using the same methood we do for our laptops we use at our school wich is a Unique SchoolID and a password. but that doesn't work since it want whatever i write to match the first line of password.
However, when just writing something random like 8 number 1 digits it goes on and asks for a connection type were i can choose from EAP, WPA and etc where i chose EAP because thats what im guessing our school uses (i'm no network technichan so i dont know anything about wireless networks at all, otherwise i probably wouldn't post here for help lol.)
But when i have choosed the connection type it tries to connect for like half a second and then stops and goes back to sleeping mode or searching for new potentional wi-fi/wireless networks.
Please note that my phone is a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro device with default 2.1 sony ericsson stock rom and no root, aswell as the standard app to connect to wi-fi / wireless networks. (Settings > Wifi & Mobile networks > Wi-Fi)
If i have written this in the wrong thread or have written something not understandable please PM me and i will try to correct the text.
Regards,
Joel

I would suggest looking up on your school's website to see if there are instructions for setting up the internet on your mobile device. I would assume they have instructions for different platforms.
I struggled to get it working at my school in which i had to get a certificate installed and blah blah blah. I can't remember if i got it working or not, it's been a while. I remember hitting a problem with WPA2 authentication on the mini pro. Hopefully you can get it working.

But I've talked with our computer technichan team, but they said that they dont care and wont give support to anything else than our laptops, i also checked our schools website page and there were no instructions on how to connect, not even with our computers. only found a page telling us to visist the computer technichans if we experienced trouble.
So sadly, they wont support or help me with this. Any other suggestions?
Edit: i went there again and had a talk with a diffrent person, who seemed to have an android phone aswell, but he said that a certificate is needed to connect, atleast for the laptops in our school, but sadly he couldn't give it out because it was aginst their rules to do so. He said that he used a non-protected guest wi-fi that is aviable for our school, but to connect that you need a username and password aswell, and he couldn't give me one unless i was a guest at the school. And what iv'e heard about the guest one is that its suckey anyway so if there is any other solution i would be very happy.
Edit 2:
I have been using ubuntu on my school laptop before and got the wi-fi working without installing any certificate, but then i just selected to use EAP-PK2 something when editing settings on how to connect to the wifi with the ubuntu laptop and then filling the boxes with my schoolID login credentials and got it working.
And Android is based on linux so there should be some workaround for this?
Very Thankful for any answers about this.

I dont think it is possible for me to set up and proxy for the schools network.
They only have blocked one port and i think thats port 22 or something for security reasons, no other pages are blocked afaik.
Im starting to need the wi-fi access at school badly, i think i could pay whoever came up with a workaround or solution that works lol.
i'll post a fix tommorrow, i am currently trying it myself and it seems to work quite good!
please make a backup before you try.
it worked fine on mine though

Even is an old thread I see no point in opening a new one.
So, I bought android (4.2.2) mini pc and created a pc out of it, but I am having trouble with connecting to students network cause it has 802.1x authentication, and you login with faculty username and password.
On windows we use Securew2 software and that solves problems, but when connecting on android I cant find any options to select EAP or TTLS authentication, anyone has a clue?

Hi, I need a way to tether my Mini Pro (Slade's CM6), and USB tethering doesn't work, it gives 'usb tethering error'. Barnacle Wifi Tether doesn't work either, and the rom doesn't have iptables support for other wifi tethering.
Is there a working tether that will let me use my Mini's 3g connection with my notebook?
I assumed this would be something alot of people would use, but I can't find much info on it, besides something about modding wpa-supplicant (which I'm not keen on) , so I thought I would start a thread just for this issue.
Hopefully this won't just be ignored; if i'm missing something obvious, please be kind and point it out to me. Thx

Barnacle does work on CM6
Yes dude. Barnacle doesn't work because the port is already used. Don't know what app is using it... USB tethering seems not working. Based on my question at CM6 thread, unless the kernel has netfilter enabled, there won't be any native tethering.
So I go back to stock ROM, which very pleasant to use for regular smart phone user like me who apreciate great UX.
Barnacle works on cm6
Try this:
Baranacle Wifi Settings:
1. Change SSID - [User Preference]
2. Change Channel - 6
3. Custom Wifi Ad-hoc - NONE
4. Skip wpa_supplicant - CHECK
5. Restart Phone As Desired
That was what I did, and then it worked
If it was helpfull give me a thumbs up

Try PdaNet. Works great for me, never had a single problem. Just make sure you kill ADB before connecting the modem.

My settings are different

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (Mini) with Jelly Bean 4.1.2. I recently bought iPad 4 (Wifi only) and decided to try to do some tethering with my phone. I entered the "Tethering and portable hotspots" submenu and paired up successfully with the iPad. However, I couldn't access the Internet with the iPad even though the connection to my S3 was okey. Everything just seemed to be loading and loading, and Chrome said something about DNS servers. I gave up and tried to Bluetooth-route. Again I was successful in connecting the two devices with the link symbol appearing in the upper left of the iPad's screen. Yet again the Internet did not work.
I should mention that I live in a country where there's no tethering regulation so I can just use the default tethering settings. I did think about if using Avast, power saving mode or anything other affected the tethering process, but after turning Avast and power saving mode off, nothing happened. I also double-checked that I could access Internet via my phone. I also double checked that I had my mobile data on.
There isn't any setting in S3's "Tethering and portable hotspots" submenu that I could try to change (I've tried tethering with and without a password). I can do something about hotspot Wifi-connection from the iPad (according to the manual):
Adjust the settings for connecting to a Wi-Fi network: Tap next to a network. You can set an HTTP proxy, define static network settings, turn on BootP, or renew the settings provided by a DHCP server.

However, I cannot do anything if I try to create a hotspot using Bluetooth.

On the tethering section, and since you only doing it for an ipad, go to configure the access point and tap advanced settings. Try changing the broadcast channels from auto to 10.
I work on a technical support desk and it seems that Ipads are very very fussy on lower channels, i am unable to test this as i don't own an Ipad but it may be worth a shot.

Thank you for this suggestion. Unfortunately it did not work. I also tried channels 4 and 11 instead of Auto without success.

I asked on my friends to test this he has an s3 and an ipad mini, he doesnt use the stock tether. But he said clockwork mod tether works perfectly well on his. I believe it is free from the play store. Perhaps give that a try.
Sorry I couldnt be more helpful

I just wanted to let you guys know that I have solved the issue. The trick was to add my provider's internet information (server, port) to iPad's settings. This is weird as with my old phone, Samsung Bada, I just had to create a Wifi hotspot with a few clicks and that's it.

Hi Tigerman82.
Could you please be more precise regrading the solution you found : What configuration did you make in you iPad, which information, in which configuration menu ?
Thank you for your help.

I first created the Wifi hotspot connection between SG3Mini and the iPad. In SG3Mini, I entered Settings -> More Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names (APNs) -> *chose my provider's Internet/Wap settings* -> wrote down Proxy, Port, (User Name, Password)
Then in iPad, I entered the Wifi-settings, Tapped the > next to the SG3Mini's Hotspot connection and added the APN info in the HTTP Proxy settings. I originally tried to use the User Name and Password but it didn't work so I just used Proxy and Port. Then I tapped the "Renew" option.
After this, I could tether without problems.

How was he able to test clockwork mod tether with an ipad mini as this is a usb tether and my ipad mini doesn't have a usb port?
