Does someone have an ad hoc wpa supplicant for honeycomb on the Flyer?
I'm interested in flashing Honeycomb to my Flyer, but if I can't use the gingerbread adhoc wpa supplicant that I am currently using, I won't do it. Without it I can't tether my WiFi Flyer to my droid.
Will the old adhoc wpa supplicant work on Honeycomb?
Just wanted to Bump this up to see if anyone had figured out how to get Ad Hoc working in Honeycomb. Just tried all the methods and couldn't recognized my ad-hoc network. In GB,, everything work solid, But since I upgrade to HC, nada.
I had ad hoc using the patched wpa_supplicant that was compiled for Honeycomb 3.2 on the Xoom. Just a note, with this wpa_supplicant, WPS doesn't work for me on the Flyer (i.e. I can't use the WPS button on a wireless access point for easy encrypted connections). Everything else works okay, though. I can manually set up an encrypted connection (by typing in the passkey on the initial connection). It did allow me to see and connect to ad hoc WiFi broadcast from my cell phone. With this wpa_supplicant, I've had more dropped normal WiFi connections, and since it doesn't work as well as stock, I'm not using it anymore.When HTC releases source for their Honeycomb release, someone will need to compile a patched wpa_supplicant that uses the correct version for our device.
In case someone else can use it, though, here is the information I used to get that patched wpa_supplicant.:

Any update?
I am using a WPA supplicant which I found on this forum. I can't remember the exact threads, but I did a search and followed a few threads,.
It works fine on my HC flyer and I haven't experienced any dropped WiFi connections.
I can email the file to you if you like.

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you rooted android users out there know that you can tether to your touchpad pretty easily.
Go download the newest version of wifi tether 3.1beta5
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Install it
Run it
Menu-Settings
Change Device-Profile
Select Samsung Fascinate
Change Setup-Method
Select Softap for Samsung (Master)
Back to main screen
And now you are good to go. I have used this on my fascinate running the community rom, also read that someone had it running on their charge as well.
Have fun tethering.
Post back if this does or doesn't work for you, what device, and what rom/kernal you are running.
MOD EDIT (LP): There is another guide here by danalo1979
[HELP] Touchpad won't recognize my Android Hotspot
I just finished checking, and while my android tablet recognizes and connects to my android cellphone tethering, my hp touchpad doesnt even see it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have no idea because I did not have a problem doing this on an evo

Get the beta tethered wifi app. The standard one from the market doesn't work with it. I think it can't connect to ad hoc routers our something.

I cannot seem to connect Touchpad to any adhoc WiFi network. Really would like a fix for this one. iPads and iPhones connect to adhoc networks just fine.
I would manually enter the ssid, broadcast id, network id and ip address and forget dealing with dhcp if it's not working
maybe reboot? Mine works flawlessly on my android and touchpad
From what Im gathering, my HTC hero uses ad-hoc and the touchpad doesnt pick that up. Shame, but I have a feeling Im SOL.
Try turning off all the security settings etc...

Some android phones can only broadcast wifi via adhoc mode which is incompatible with the touchpad. Its not a matter of what program you choose, if your phone can only do ad-hoc wifi then it wont work. Try using bluetooth (Wireless Tether 2.0.7)

Any idea what version to use for the photon? I tried this one and I just get errors. Thanks
Wifi tethering the touchpad works great using my HTC incredible (running CM7). Must be the ad-hoc issue others have mentioned.
i had issues getting my tp to connect to the wireless hotspot from my desire s.
as soon as i changed the security type from wpa2 to wpa it started working.

The reason for that might be that they are two different standards of encryption, lollol, neither is backward/forward compatible with the other

yes i know that. i'm not a dickhead.
the TP is supposed to support WPA2, however it had issues with WPA2 on my desire s.
This does not work for me Either-it keeps saying 'Tethering but with Errors-see Log' and the log cannot load the Sofap part...
I have a feeling some phones can only broudcast WiFi in Ad-Hoc-Like my HTC HERO It may be time to say goodbye to it after all...I was actually hoping the TouchPad would mean i dont need a new phone as most of my stuff (good Flash Web Browser/Email/Games/Whatsapp/Facebook) would be sorted between the two devices....Oh well....
I believe the easiest way to tether from your rooted Android to the Touchpad is if you're running CM7, to use the built in wi-fi tether as it works flawlessly!
i dont see this option for fascinate
Select Softap for Samsung (Master)
i only see WEXT (ad-hoc)
I'm attempting to teather to my galaxy prevail, and have had no luck so far. It's possible the chipset does not support it, but it's more possible my phone is failing some how. So I thought I would take a poll.

Have you tried using Open Garden WiFi? Using that to tether to my DInc. I tried using Wireless Android Tether but it would not connect (created ad-hoc). Switched to Open Garden and it created an infrastructure AP and now connects. Though sometimes I have to connect twice before it fully connects.
It tossed an error, but a productive looking one, ill see what I can do with it at home. On ze bus at the moment.

Try WiFi Tether with Setup-method "Softap for Samsung(Master)" from your phone. It works for me (I have Samsung Droid Charge from Verizon). Connected a few android devices to it. You may need to reboot the phone after changing that settings.
My phone is a Dinc running SkyRaider 4.3. The wireless tether that Ihtfp69 baked into the rom works fine for connecting to the NT. I don't remember which one it is though.

DroidX running GB and Wireless Tether 2.0.7 and my NT connects no problem. Not running encryption.
At this time I do not believe there are any available methods on tethering NT to any ad-hoc networks. I've tried multiple methods including all combinations of following:
* replacing wpa_supplicant w/ wpa_supplicant.adhocfix
* modifying wpa_supplicant.conf to reflect ap_scan=2 and added adhoc network section
* modifying tiwlan0.ini to enable wifiadhoc and added desired SSID and BSSType
The closest I came to connecting to any ad-hoc network is while running wpa_supplicant.adhocfix the (*) SSID actually showed up on the available network list and I can click on it to connect (and enter WEP key). However, NT seems to go into an infinite loop while trying to get DHCP and the yellow triangle showed up in the status bar indicating DHCP error.
Ideas anyone? The binary for wpa_supplicant.adhocfix seems to be valid however it is unable to access the system network settings to set IP's. I've also tried to chmod 4755 on the binary but that did not help as well.
Can someone please help on this issue. Thank you!!!
I was thinking of using the patch and applying it to the nt source. I am trying to figure out how to compile it from the bn site.

Is cm7 out for any other omap 4 phone? I am a noob regarding linux builds but will continue to try to build it.

I tried this with 9 different version of wpa_supplicant which have been patched for ad-hoc. It seems that no one has fixed this for wpa_supplicant v0.6.10 with tiwlan0 and gingerbread. When looking at the output from adb logcat I could see various errors about tiwlan0 not working and other issues where the ssid was lost during the handshake.
But there is good news on this. I was able to find a working binary wpa_supplicant that does not connect to ad hoc but does work for wireless normally on the NT. It is the reference gingerbread build for the pandaboard (the reference board for omap4). The source is available and I am working on recompiling it with the patch for ad-hoc. For all of the other patches and roms out there I haven't been able to get this far so this looks promising.
I've been trying to get my Epic 4G Touch running the wifi tether app 3.1-beta6 (only version I am aware works for my phone) but the View can't see the wifi connection. Perhaps something to do with the way wifi tether is running? Ad-Hoc mode? Anybody know of a work around?
I am running Wifi Tether v3.1 beta 2 on my Droid Charge with no issues. I currently have mine set to the Samsung Fascinate for the device. You could maybe try changing the device to see if that does anything. I know I was having issues connecting one day and I just had to uninstall and reinstall the app and it started working fine again.
Which type of wifi connection your phone presents is device dependent. Some can do infrastructure which will work, others can only do ad-hoc , which the Flyer and most android devices will not see without a modified wifi supplicant file. If your phone tether cannot be seen on your Flyer you need to install the wifi supplicant mentioned in other answers in the forum, do a search for supplicant . That is the only way to fix this, and you must be rooted.
I use Wireless Tether app on my rooted Droid X and the view sees it just fine. Connects without any issues.

I run WIFI Tether v3.1-beta7 on my EVO 3D with no issues at all, View connects without hesitation. There are some settings that need to be set, though I don't know if this applies to all devices. I had to enable MSS clamping and Routing fix.

I'm quoting DigitalMD because it appears this information may need to be repeated. I'm fairly certain that most Samsung devices are limited to ad-hoc only and that makes all the difference.
I'm downloading the wifi ad hoc enabler now to try this out...
I have a rooted Nexus S 4g on ICS- and wifitether works fine for my ipad2... but the HTC View doesn't even see the signal. Is this a carrier issue with the View, an HTC specific thing? I'm surprised the iPad had no issue as I've had plenty of public wifi connection issues...
Just trying to understanding the issues at play better here.

So I installed the latest 3.1-beta 11 to my Nexus S4g to try this before I go to other lengths to get the view to see it... but I don't see a MSS clamping options- only routing fix. I'm also trying device profile set to Evo 4g since that's what you had... still nothing...
Does it have anything to do with being on ICS on my Nexus? If you're doing adhoc from your evo (assuming...) why would the view not see ad hoc in my case?

Right, but to do that, i need the View to be rooted correct? The point i was trying to make was it seemed like some people got this to work without needing to do that...unless i misunderstood...
EDIT: The following worked for me- Fox Fi on the phone, "PDA NET for Tablet" application for the View. activate both... No settings to be changed, nothing needs root permission.

Yes, it's due to ad-hoc. I noticed certain tether apps like barnacle wasn't getting detected.
I used the stock CM7 for AOSP, or the stock HTC tether app to support it and it works fine, but I haven't a slightest what works for your phone.
If you're rooted then you can replace the wpa supplicant file to force the flyer to support ad hoc networks

I have my HTC Desire, on which i have a large data bundle which i can use. I created a wifi hotspot from this phone using Barnacle and Wifi Tethering from OpenGarden.
I create the hotspot (tried both apps), and i can see it from my pc, but i cant see it from my SGS3?
Any help?
Give this a bump to see if anybody can help.
Thanks
Final bump, hope somebody knows why the SGS3 cannot pick up wifi hotspots from other phones.
If the other phone makes Ad-Hoc access point the S3 can't access it and so far it's impossible to make S3 use Ad-Hoc.

wow scary
But isn't possible to modify the wpa_supplicant like it has been done for other versions of android ?
I read that the trick was to make the wpa_supplicant "think" the ad-hoc was infrastructure.
Every method so far kills the Wifi connection so you'll have to wait.
Thanks for the feedback. Did not know the SGS3 would not be able to connect to ad hoc wifi hotspots..
Any idea why they went this route?
Because Android by default does not support mesh networks (also called adhoc).
The reason it that wpa_supplicant's adhoc support is badly broken while adhoc networks consist of a complex peer-to-peer protocow withoue central infrastructure: insecurity, slowness and stabiliy issues are the consequences.
Only a few phones have adhoc support in a Rom with, afaik, all these roms being aftermarket
Are you sure your HTC phone is not capable of AP-mode wifi?

My HTC Desire is rooted, so i did some googling and found out that wifi tether can be used and will simulate an infrastructure hotspot.
Now my SGS3 can see the hotspot, but its not connecting properly. Keeps getting stuck on the message "Obtaining IP address" so i am not sure if thats a problem on the HTC or SGS3 side.
Will do some fiddling today.
