Hello, I've been working all day with ad hoc fixes for the thunderbolt after taking the time to manually root. I've tried wpa_supplicant.zip update and that didn't work on account of edify and i pushed wpa_supplicant to /system/bin and still no ad hoc connection.
The biggest reason is because I bought the AR Drone used and there are all kinds of apps for it to be controlled on the droid. I can't pair it through my router since its DD-WRT and the application to pair the two is windows and I only have a Macbook that has wifi.
Someone please help me fix the thunderbolt so it can find Ad hoc. Thank you!
What if your Thunderbolt was working in infrastructure mode, will the AR Drone work that way?

How do I get infrastructure mode on my thunderbolt?

I have had no problems with running wifi tether on my stock rooted TB.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Generic
wireless_tether_2_0_8-pre1.apk
I did not try encryption, but it worked fine as an AP/infrastructure mode with two computers and the TB.
Sure I have no problem with that either. It's finding ad hoc devices like the Parrot AR Drone is the problem.

I see, so the device has no other means of connecting accept in ad hoc mode.
It's interesting to think that as users we tried to get away from ad hoc. It seemed to be such a limitation with our rooted phones. We all wanted AP/infrastructure mode to connected to wifi only devices that did NOT support ad hoc. Bummer, you would think there would be an easy way to toggle that within wifi tether.
Now of all things, it would not be a very popular option, ad hoc. So... it might not get the attention is deserves
Anyone know which wireless tether app works with the temp root? I've tried a few and a no go.
I've seen claims of barnacle working, but have yet to try it myself.

Barnacle works perfect. Thank you, and I hit your Ty button.
It can't stay connected though, since root is temp, correct?

I have Barnacle wifi tether running on my 3D with temp root. Works great, but yes it is temporary for now.
If the wireless part isn't necessary, pdanet works just fine without root.

I can temp root with no problems using my MacBook Pro and Fre3vo but no wireless tethering joy for me. Wireless Tether doesn't work at all. Barnacle gives no errors with the ad hoc connection, everything looks fine, even Snow Leopard's network diagnostics say that my internet is working fine, but no data is transmitted or received. I even tried all the tips/tricks in this thread, still no joy. Any suggestions?
PdaNet works ok with USB but is very unstable with Bluetooth.
BTW I had no problems at all with the EVO 4G either in ad hoc mode (early versions of Wireless Tether) or non ad hoc (whatever that's called, recent versions of WT).
I've tried most of the methods out there and the one in this thread has the highest success rate IMO. One important thing: check your apps and if you have "Super User" installed as an app, uninstall it first before trying the method in that thread.
Barnacle works perfectly for me under that setup.
Mike
I have the same issue. I also have a mac so it might be a mac issue. I get tether to work on my wifes shift so I know my computer works.

Thanks, the version of wireless tether mentioned in the linked post worked for me and I'm posting using it! I had tried every other version of WT on the google site, and every version of Barnacle I could find, none worked.
BTW I didn't have any error messages or have to change any settings as that page suggests, it just worked the first time.
This is the only version of WT that starts without errors for me, and I have to us WT as it can set up the softap network (Asus Transformer doesn't see ad-hoc). It sees it and connects, but can never get an IP Address.
Anyone else experience a similar issue?
How I got it running......
1. Get temp root by one of the methods in the forum
2. Download the wifi tether apk from the root/FAQ thread.
3. In the settings change profile to htc evo 4g
4. In settings apply check to box to fix HTC routing.
Wifi tether should restart and you should be in business.

Just got it working on My Coworkers 3vo. download wifi tether 3.2 from the web, then go into settings and there is a setting in the menu that says enable for htc devices, once I did that it worked like a charm.
**Note** you need temp root

You mean this version, 3.1 beta 2? I've tried all the versions out there and some work perfectly some of the time, some never work, but none work all of the time. Can't figure out what changes, it's so random. I'm using the 3.1 beta 2 version to write this, but yesterday it didn't work and tomorrow I predict it won't work. BTW every time I start this version I get an error/warning message that some necessary thingamajigs aren't there, but I dismiss the message and it works anyway.
And of course I know I have to re-root after every restart etc.
works sporactically
Both Barnacle Wifi Tether and Andriod Wifi Tether work sporadically for me. It worked a few days ago and now it doesn't work.
is 4g tether working? I could not get it to work using barnacle
Barnacle works perfect for me with 4G...I haven't had one problem with it...
Supposedly, a beta version of "Wireless Tether for Root Users" worked so long as you checked a box in the settings that was specific to HTC devices. I forget where there.
Does anyone know any apps that creates a Wifi AP? I am not talking about an Adhoc network that all apps I have used create, I want it to work like native tethering.
I am asking because I am using polish blood preRC, and I really want to use it full time, the only thing is native tethers do not work and all apps create an Adhoc network.
Normally this isn't a problem, however I wish to use my PS3 over my phone's 3G connection, this is where the problem comes in, the PS3 does not see Adhoc networks so most, if not all tether apps will not work.
I have tried to use connectify while I have a usb tether connected however the PS3 cannot connect to the internet, I also would prefer to avoid using my laptop as an AP.
So anyone know a decent Wifi tether app that will create an AP like native tethering, not an Adhoc network
Are you sure that PS3 cannot connect to Ad hoc networks?
Here is an article about it http://www.ehow.com/how_6808376_can-connect-ad-hoc-network_.html
and it says PS3 can connect to Ad hoc networks.
Check if you configured everything properly.
Also Wireless tether app supports AP mode but only on certain handsets (HTC Evo 3D for example). It looks like it doesn't support our device.
Mine has never seen an adhoc network from my phone, guess I'll check it tonight when I can get on it.

Check wifi channels, anything between 1-11 channel will work.

Don't use this ICS. It's still in very early stage of developement. It's only for money.. If you really need a ICS on your Swift, then try AOKP 4.0.3. by DevSwift. Probably an update will come very soon. I was using it on my swift for 1-2 weeks, and I was happy with it. Now I changed the whole phone.

It's wrong to say its for money.....all he does is a dedicated ftp server for donators....and a bit delayed public release.

Back on topic, ps3 definitely will not see an adhoc network, just tried and when I scanned it didn't pick it up, when I entered my ssid manually it said it could not find it.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Sorry for the mislead, PS3 doesn't work with ad hoc networks.
But here is a possible solution:
1)Download latest WiFi tether beta http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk
2)Open it and then go to Settings
3)Change Device-Profile to Google NexusOne
4)Change Setup-Method to Netd (master)
5)Start tethering and that's it
Note: I haven't tested this on Mike's CM9 but it did work on CM7, so try it, and tell us if it works.
Just to warn you there is probability to get kernel panics with this settings.
EDIT: I have tested this on Mike's CM9 and can't get it to work. Simply wait till Mike fixes WiFi tethering, or flash CM7 or some other ROM.
You can try a couple of options...
1. Hosted Network Starter
Free: Simple hostpot on your pc with non configurable DHCP
www.nirsoft.net/utils/wifi_hotspot_starter.html
2. WiFi Tether Router
Paid: Android app for rooted phones with full featured DHCP, VPN, etc

Any one know how enable ad hoc wifi on 4.0.4 4.0.3 ics
I was able get it working on gb from market app called ad hoc enabler for the 2.3.6 but no go for ics
I have no experience with Ad-Hoc Wifi, but it may not be working due to the ROM you're using. Have you tried the unofficial CM9 rom? It is substantially different than pretty much every other rom out there, so, it may worked better with that app you used on GB
Hi everyone, im looking for a ad hoc enabler for my phone to be able to connect to my pc's internet via ad hoc. I use a broadband usb modem to connect to internet on my pc so i obviously dont have wifi at home. Using usb internet pass through is quite annoying as i must have a usb cable connected to my phone the whole time. so can anyone recommend a 100% working app for me?

What is your OS on your PC? I know Windows has the ability to create an ad hoc network using the wifi card of the PC. No special app needed. Go to the Network control panel, click Add, and select Ad Hoc network.

Good question. That's what I get for assuming things work logically . I'll have to try it when I get home this evening.

sooo how did it go? there are a few apps out there with this feature but if it fails it will mess up the wifi. im looking for a 100% working on evo 3d gsm app so i dont have to deal with fixing the wifi problem.
would you be so daring enough as to try installing WiFi Ad Hoc enabler v1.8 and see if it works? LOL im scare it might mess up my wifi and i have no idea how to fix it.

I stumbled across this accidentally while searching for an internet passthrough .apk:
www.connectifyme.com
Turns your windows 7 computer into a WiFi hotspot.
Works Great! Seems faster than internet passthrough.
I never knew windows 7 had this capability. Cool.
so there is no need for internet passthrough anymore.

Lool honestly im not i just dont see the point of updating my barely useable laptop anyways, forgot to update here. I used zt ad hoc switcher and got my phone to detect ad hoc, surprised both wifi ad hoc enabler and manually overwrite wpa_supplicant failed but this app works fine.
