hi,
i would like to know if the x1's wireless card is capable of packet injection, for mobile network penetration testing
thanks
i know linux can be booted on the x1 so this would be one step in the right direction

I posted this thread on the Windows Mobile Owners Circle forum but it seems that my thread does not haver enough attention (4 views after 2 day), so I posted it here again, hopefully some experts may help me figure out.
----------
I managed to set up an ad-hoc wireless network on my Windows XP laptop (open authentication, no data encryption) with Internet connection sharing. This wireless network is used by my 2 WM devices: a Dopod 838Pro PocketPC and a Dopod 577W Smartphone. Both are WM5. At a first glance, both the pocketPC and the smartphone can connect to the ad-hoc wireless network and surf the Internet smotthly and without any extra configurations. However, some problems are identified after several observations, listed below:
1. The PocketPC can always connect to the ad-hoc wireless network, even if there's no other devices/computers using the network. As soon as the PocketPC is connected, the connection status on Windows XP will change to Connected. This is expected.
2. If the PocketPC is on, the Smartphone can detect the wireless network and connect and surf the Internet. While the smartphone is using the network, e.g. watch streaming videos, if the PocketPC is disconnected from the network, the smartphone also loses its Internet connection. This behaviour is expected as this is a de-centralized ad-hoc network.
3. If the PocketPC is off, the Smartphone won't be able to detect the presence of my wireless network, e.g. the network name does not show up in the list. It, however, does detect other network (both access points and ad-hoc). Although it can connect to access points successfully, I don't have opportunity to see if it can really connect to other ad-hoc networks (and not just show their names in the list).
My conclusion is, for the smartphone to use my ad-hoc network, a necessary condition is that there must be at least one device using the network so the smartphone can establish connection to that device (since it can't connect directly to the laptop). I cannot verify the sufficient condition as I don't have any more devices to try.
This is very strange. Why does the smartphone refuse to be the first device on the network? As I am by no means a network expert, the only reason I can think of is the incompatibility between wireless standards supported by my device. The laptop has 802.11a/b/g, smartphone has 802.11b while pocketPC has 802.11g. Could this have prevented the smartphone to detect the signal from the laptop? Only after the PocketPC is connected and re-broadcoasts the signal as 802.11g can the smartphone hardware (802.11b) detect it.
Another possiblity is that the implementation of ad-hoc wireless network on the smartphone does not allow a device to act as broadcaster. As such if the smartphone was the first to be connected on the network, it would prevent other devices from connecting. If my assumption is true, is this perhaps why the smartphone refuses to detect the ad-hoc network when it sees no other active connections?
If it helps, the icon for my ad-hoc wireless network also looks different from other ad-hoc wiress networks. Although they both have a computer on the top left and a device on the bottom right, the icon for my network looks has a blue circle at the back. What does this difference indicate? On Windows XP, the icons look the same.
Anyone can give me any clues how to solve this problem? Thanks a lot.
hello guys
i'm new in mobile development (c#.net) but i want to start now with a small application.
there are a rough overview below about the main-processes:
- open a gsm-connection at the mobile-phone (client) and dail-up to a pcmcia or usb gsm modem (server)
- wait for response and send data by the mobile phone to the pcmcia or usb gsm modem (server)
- save received data in a database at the (server)
my main problem is how to get a connection from the mobile phone to the pcmcia or usb gsm modem and how to access the pcmcia or usb gsm modem with the "serverside" application ?
i saw a some good explanations but the work only with a serial-port-communication (for the serverside).
does somebody know how can i solve this problem ?
thanks a lot

Im developing a unique system, and I have a handheld running Windows mobile 6. The handhelds are something that we had to have built ourself, they are waterproof, and dust proof, They have an atheros based WIFI card. But I need something like WEFI, that can connect to the best WIFI location. as the handheld moves undergound, it should be able to see 2-4 other Access points. Wefi works OK, if the network has access to the Internet, so it can check for internet connectivity. But I just need best connectivity to the sip server for VOIP.
So is there anything for windows Mobile 6, other than WEFI, that works?
Thanks in Advance
Hello xda-devlopers,
I have been faced with a small dielemma, recently my wireless adapter for my desktop computer has broke! Now I know that my Diamond as an Internet Sharing Capability but only transmitts from my Service Provider that is Orange.
I get the same wi-fi signal to my phone as I normally did with my computer and I was wondering if there is any software/connection settings to allow me to use wifi signal off my phone to my desktop computer?
Thanks for reading!

As sarcastic as that one-line reply of a web link is, I don't think the OP wishes to use his Cell / mobile provider for internet.
If you read his question, he states that his wireless card DOES NOT WORK therefore WM wifi router is not a solution.
What the op seems to want is the ability to use his phone as a wireless card for his machine without wireless, to connect to a wireless network. Meaning that even with out a sim card inserted, he could join his PC to a wireless network.
If I find out how to do it, I'll post back.

# Support for sharing your Wi-Fi connection to USB, and vice versa
I'm trying something at work and don't know if this is possible. I've done a little looking but don't know exactly what I'm looking for.
We have MDTs in our vehicles that have a wireless data connection and a secured WiFi network for our tablets. We are limited on what we can access on the MDTs (normally just our CAD program only, but I found an exploit to access Windows Explorer) and they operate on Windows. I was wondering if there is something that I can plug in to a USB port that will link with the wireless data network and add an additional WiFi network that I can access/control.
