did you find any solution? btw when i was using WildPuzzel v 8 (Froyo) ROM on my Wildfire, It perfectly connects to BSSI on my laptop.
I have seen that some people thinks that Android do not support it, if its true how come it worked with wilpuzzel
and just now, writing this post, I flashed Kernel HCDR.Kernel_v4.2mc1_Flashable.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995301 and now connected Wildfire CM7 with my adhoc network on laptop and its working perfectly...

Use root explorer. Go to /system. Mount it as RW. Then go to etc/wifi. You will find tiwlan.ini there. Open it with a text editor. Scroll down to the line that shows WifiAdhoc=0 and change it to WifiAdhoc=1. Save the file and restart WiFi. Everything working.
Btw, the CM7 rom for Tattoo connects to adhoc directly. No need to edit if u use that.

Bro can I get twilan.ini
I don't have it
Pls

Drop it in system/bin
Or if you want to flash it in CWM, here's the patch:

[SOLVED] Share AD-HOC notebook (or netbook) with Xperia X10

I'll post the setting that should be done in the Xperia X10, so that it Internet share of the notebook (or netbook) through an AD-HOC network. I spent several hours trying, but I did what many say is impossible!
1. The android X10 must be root;
2. Have installed a program that allows editing of files (here I am using the Root Explorer);
3. Create an AD-HOC network in notebok and allow sharing the internet with other devices;
4. Enable Wi-Fi X10;
5. Add Wi-Fi network, the SSID setting the exact name of the AD-HOC network notebook and also the type of security (Open, WEP, WPA/WPA2 PSK, EAP or 802.1x);
6. Disable Wi-Fi X10;
7. Go to the folder "data / misc / wifi", it contains the wpa_supplicant.conf file that should open with text editor (click it and hold, then open up a menu where you have the option to open the file with text editor);
8. Edit and save the file so that it is as follows:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/system/
wpa_supplicant GROUP=wifi
update_config=1
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="put the name of your AD-HOC network"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=1
auth_alg=SHARED
wep_key0=PUT YOUR KEY TO SAFETY
frequency=2412
}
9. Go to the folder "system / etc / wifi" (click on "Mount R/W," is at the top right of screen). This folder contains the wpa_supplicant.conf file that should open with text editor (click it and hold, then open up a menu where you have the option to open the file with text editor);
10. Edit and save the file so that it is as follows:
ctrl_interface=wlan0/
wpa_supplicant GROUP=wifi
update_config=1
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="put the name of your AD-HOC network"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=1
auth_alg=SHARED
wep_key0=PUT YOUR KEY TO SAFETY
frequency=2412
}
11.After saving changes, click the file "wpa_supplicant.conf" and hold until the menu of options. Click "Permissions" and leave only the option marked "READ" in Owner, Group and Others, then click OK.
This last step is not executed lose all changes made since the system returns the initial values.
Note: When editing the files "NOT" leave spaces between the function and value. EX: mode=1 (correct), mode = 1 (wrong).
In step 10 in "ctrl_interface=wlan0/" DO NOT confuse "ZERO" with the letter "o". Read "wlan(ZERO)/"
12. Restart X10.
Once restarted just turn on AD-HOC network and turn on the notebook's Wi-Fi X10 that it undertakes to find the ip to connect.

Im gonna test tomorrow, thanks

For those who can't edit the wpa_supplicant.conf file like me, simply copy it to the sdcard and edit it there. then simply copy to the desire locations and then set permissons there.
OBS: don't forget to set root explorer to Remount as R/W!!!
Working 100% for me now. Thanks

Hello "chriscx", you set up your ad hoc network to share the signal with other devices?
Which version of its Windows Vista?

It's Vista home premium. Wifi Analyzer app sees the network as ad-hoc (for that it's better than gingerbread wifi scanner) but it cannot connect because of android.
I dont know which permissions on data/misc/wifi ?
And also when I edit, it says OPEN SHARED, I deleted OPEN to keep SHARED
Today I tried again, but I overwrite on files, I renamed bak to conf but it didn't work, so I had to restore my system on x10, then I restored my data apps and I've lost superuser rights, it was the mess, man. now my phone is ok.

For me it's working fine... Just sometimes it show as it can't find the network, but i just have to disable wifi on my xperia x10 and turn it on again, and if i don't have the ad-hoc network created, it tries to connect to it anyway and says "obtaining IP adress from "asdasd"... I use stock android 2.3.3 with Win7 and the android stock wifi software...
I created a ad-hoc network on my notebook with the name "asdasd" and password with WEP security as "1234567890". That's how i have my both files equal. I only see now that they shouldn't be exactly the same as Cristiano123 show in his post. I have both files in system and data like this, try it so maybe it should work. For me it works fine Don't forget to save the stock files!!! Try this for both files:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/system/
wpa_supplicant GROUP=wifi
update_config=1
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="asdasd"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=1
auth_alg=SHARED
wep_key0=1234567890
frequency=2412
}

with win 7, you can use connectify or virtual router, some people said it works.
for Vista: I read this:
/system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini
WiFiAdhoc = 1
dot11DesiredSSID = MonSSID
dot11DesiredBSSType = 0

I dont have time to check today

This tutorial from the link (forum.frandroid.com/topic/14502-tuto-root-connecter-son-android-en-wifi-a-son-pc-en-ad-hoc) is for a Motorola Milestone, the tutorial I posted is for the SONY ERICSSON XPERIA X10 !!!!!
It is not necessary to use any third party program to connect to the AD-HOC network, use only the settings of the post.
Are you following the steps correctly?

yes I did, but I give up

I thought of something:
on GB 2.3.4 ad-hoc connection is included, and we have a dump system for x10, it should be possible to port it.

Go until folder "system / etc / wifi" and copy file "wpa_supplicant.conf", place same here as attachment.
Also verify folder "date / misc / wifi" exists file "wpa_supplicant.conf" if yes copy it and place here as attachment with following name "wpa_supplicant.conf2".
I will check the contents of these files and tell you how you will connect to ad-hoc network.

thx for the info...
i will try this later in my xperia x10 froyo..

[Guide] Reverse Tether (wifi method)(download anything) (Windows and Ubuntu users)

This guide teaches you to reverse tether your Android phone via WiFi. That is, it allows you to use your Ethernet connection of PC on your Android phone. It is useful for those who do not have WiFi routers and data connection. So if you have unlimited data plan for your computer, why not share the connection with your phone?
I am not the developer of the files supplied
Requirements:-
1.Rooted Phone
2.Wifi enabled Laptop or PC
3.Root explorer or any other application which gives system access
4.File in the attachement
Procedure :-
Phone:
Download Wpa_supplicant.zip and extract "wpa_supplicant" from it, save it on your SD card.
Open Root Explorer, and grant it superuser access when asked for.
Navigate to system -> bin and long press on wpa_supplicant; Select copy, and paste the file into any folder on your SD card.
Now navigate to the file you downloaded, copy it in same way, and paste it back to system -> bin. Note, you might need to mount the system as R/W instead of R/O by pressing a button on the top just before pasting the file.
Reboot.
▬▬Ubuntu (Must work for other Linux Distros too)▬▬:
Open Network Connections
Goto Wireless tab, select add, and set the following:
SSID:
Mode: Ad hoc
Leave other things unchanged, and go to Ipv4 settings tab
Set method to Shared to other computers
Go to Wireless security tab and set Security to WEP 40/128 bit key and set key to a numeric password (or hexadecimal one).
Check the connect automatically box on top of the tabs and press Save.
Your Android phone must now detect this network, and you can establish the connection by using your security key.
▬▬Windows XP, Vista, 7▬▬
Download and Install Connectify from www . connectify.me/download-lite/
Start Connectify Hotspot by giving a name and password to your hotspot and selecting the Ethernet connection to share. Make sure the security type is WEP or Open.
Disable your firewall (Simply adding it to exceptions doesn't work for AVG at least)
Now your phone should be able to see the hotspot and establish the connection using the password set.
Known Issues :
1.Random disconnections (Very less frequency)
2.Disconnections due to screen lock / sleep on laptop
3.For me Security mode does not works
HIT THANKS IF IT WORKED
ENJOY

@avilove4u
This is not a free solution , you need a wifi Pc (90 % of computers at work don't have wifi) and is too complicate for users.
Use my method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345
It's a "One click free solution using USB cable" (no need to install other paids tools)
Not yet perfect, but still under development (I am the developper)
"This is a crap , as u cannot do much !"
Please stay on your thread next time before posting such kind of message on my thread.
No need to press "Thanks".

Ha ha lol !
Ur method has certain limitations :banghead:

Now adays every laptop and PC are wifi enabled !

I heard that connectify doesn't require root phone and we don't need that wpa_suplicant.

You heard correct (in most cases). If your device already supports ad-hoc network connections, then all you'd need to do is set up the hotspot with Connectify (or Virtual Router) and connect to it. Otherwise, this method's for you.

I'm pretty sure you're completely wrong. You're whole post sounds like it comes from a jealous, whiny little girl. And until you can back up this statement, I'm going to assume you are either a liar or an idiot.

I think my wifi router had broken a couple of hours ago. But now I can use ad-hoc connection from my PC.
