I am running Primordial 3.1.
I have an Xperia X10 that I use to wirelessly tether to my laptop using Barnacle and that laptop sees the ssid fine and connects to it.
But my Transformer does not see the ssid and if I manually input it, it still doesn't see it.
Is it a Honeycomb thing or is something wrong?
Thanks guys
It's a honeycomb thing. It can't see ad-hoc connections. You could try Bluetooth instead, or there is a workaround for the transformer I think.

It's more an Android thing really, as it is true of all earlier versions too.

I also use an x10 with barnacle and adhoc tethering works after you patch it on the TF
Go to the Ultimate Transformer Information sticky in this forum and follow the link to enabling adhoc.
Needs root and adb of course

Hello everyone,
As we all know, Honeycomb out of the box does not support/enable connecting to Adhoc networks, which many WiFi tether programs use.
There is a fix out there for the Nook color, and previous Android versions, but they do not appear to work for the Tranformer (tried both the .zip and manually but not the manual method).
I am unknowledgeable with the Android OS, and would really like to figure out a way to make my Transformer connect to an Adhoc network.
Any links or comments is appreciated!
Thank you.
Me to,
I just tried to Wifi tether to my Droid and it didn't work. I have no trouble doing the same with my Viewsonic Gtab. I know i'm using Gingerbread on the Gtab and not Honeycomb, but a solution to this problem would be great.
The newer wifi tether supports infrastructure mode

This is true, and I was able to get it to tether by upgrading and using infrastructure mode, but I believe there are many things such as some corporate networks that use Adhoc.

I seriously doubt that many corporate networks are using adhoc Wifi networks!
Out of the box, Android doesn't support adhoc networks, but it can usually be enabled by editing the wpa_supplicant.conf file on rooted devices.

would you be so kind in pointing us to the right direction? PLEASE
has anyone been able to find a way to make this happen yet ?
I would like to get an adhoc network between the Transformer and HD2 (wm6.5) and get internet access while out on the road.
here you are.. instructions for enabling ad hoc on the transformer

i havent personally tested it.. but it should work i would think
or you could try to bluetooth tether

I'm giving up :-(
I tried all kind of things but seems that's impossible to share my 3G connection from my SE X10 mini pro to my Transformer 16Gb (updated to 3.1):
this is what I learned:
- using barnacle app is not working because android 3.1 cannot see ad-hoc WIFI spot, i wish someone can customize 3.1 FW to get this function implemented (there should be some kind of WPA-supplicant to add to the FW)
- apps like PDAnet and Easy tether don't work either!
- using wifi tether is no point bacause the X10MP kernel doesn't support netfilter, and it doesn't seem to be any X10MP rom that support this thing (if anyone knows one, please tell me, now I'm using MiniCM based on Froyo 2.2.1 with Kernel [email protected]#1)
anyone had any luck in tethering these two devices?
Thanks in advance.
What happens eveytime you try to connect? Have you tried using the "wireless tether" app?

yes i tried the wireless tether app but i get the "No Netfilter! Sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for running this application", if i skip this message i can pair the two devices (via BT) and see the tethering service available on my X10 MP, but the problem is i cannot connect to the net... because of the net filter error.
exactly! ad hoc networks are not visible either in 3.0.1 or 3.1
finally i succeed in tethering with my ASUS Transformer and X10 Mini Pro
using barnacle wifi tether (http://it.appbrain.com/app/barnacle-wifi-tether/net.szym.barnacle)
and those guides:
PRIMORDIAL 3.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106587)
and
WPA_SUPPLICANT (http://www.android-support.com/guide-enable-ad-hoc-tethering-on-your-transformer-needs-root/)
now i'm rooted, tethered and happy
if you root your mini pro you can download quick settings and get the wifi hot spot option..rooting mini pro is a whole lot easier than the TF.

If you're trying to wifi tether, check out this thread for info on how to update the Iconia to allow for ad-hoc wifi network support.
Basically you backup the current wpa_supplicant file, replace it with a downloaded/updated copy, fix permissions on the new file, reboot.
<edit>Bah ya beat me to it ;P
This thread might be of use to you depending on how you're tethering:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056188&page=3
I'm not much help with all that as I have no trouble tethering my A500 to my HTC Evo 4G via bluetooth or wifi tether. Two wifi tether apps were included in Myn's Warm 2.2 ROM that I have on my Evo. I was surprised to see so many people having tethering issues.
Edit: Beat 2x to the punch! Man, you guys are fast! Haha.
My mobile phone is Sony X2 with Winmo 6.5.3 version. I need tethering with Acer. How to do that?

WinMo should have an option to turn on Bluetooth Dial Up Networking (DUN), turn that on, then pair the phone to your tablet and you should see a "Tethering" option show up on the tablet in the Bluetooth settings for the pairing. Check out this post (sorry, on a diff. site) but skip down to step 9 (as 1-8 cover Android phone tethering.) The pictorial was inspired/derived from this post here on XDA.
Note: you may have to have a tethering plan active on your phone service for this to fully work. I'm a bit fuzzy on this, it's been 2 years since I had my Samsung WinMo phone.

If I paired succeed A500 with Sony X2 (support 3G) meaning I can access Internet through via 3G from network provider?

If the phone supports bluetooth or wifi tether and your network provider hasn't blocked it, yes. Back when I had my WinMo phone I had to pay for a tethering plan, which I stopped after a couple months and only turned back on when I had to for work (& billed work for the extra $$)
Yesterday, I came to mobile store and try this function. As you introduced above, I turned on Bluetooth and had paired my X2 Winmo phone with A500 but I could not find Tethering option on A500. Although I tried and work find with my Acer laptop via PAN wire or PAN Bluetooth meaning my network provider support fully tethering. I wonder A500 can not tethering with Winmo phone or I misses complete steps.
I any idea for me?
just got transformer yesterday and noticed that i cannot use my wireless teather for root user app however i can use wifi widget app so what i am thinking is that it is a adhoc network issue so is there a hack for the asus transformer to be able to connect to a adhoc network?? or does 3.1 have that have not yet recieved my update that is another issue that is not making me so happy as well.

Think I saw someone post a way to do this yesterday. Needs root
I'm tethering a connection with my Xperia X10 using 'Wifi Tether for root users' app. I'm sure it work's fine cause I'm able to connect to this network via laptop or another android phone. What I'm not able to do is connect to this network from my Transformer. I click on the network and it just changes the state to Remembered but it won't connect to it no matter how many times I cick the thing.
Have any of you managed to solve this already?
I'm running an official ICS, no root or stuff. Completly clean.
What type of hotspot is it putting out? Ad hoc?
I think so
I don't know if it can help, but the issue you describe is exactly the one I had when I used my HTC Sensation (with any ICS custom ROM) as a Wifi AP : I could browse the web from any peripheral connected to the "HTC Portable Hotspot"... except from my TF101 !
I thought the problem came from the TF101 itself (and I'm still thinking it...), but curiously I solved it by flashing my HTC Sensation back to stock ROM (Android 2.3.4) !
Now my TF101 can browse the web through my Sensation like any other device...
I'm still thinking it's Transformer. I was flashing several softs before I started posting. It was always only the bloody transformer that couldn't connect... funny thing is that exactly week ago on the exactly same ICS I've managed to connect. Then it started to fail.
I thin your router needs to support Infrastructure and not adhoc networks to work wth the transformer.

Dude - it's a phone, not a router. It supports ad-hoc only. And as I said - it worked ocassionally. Myabe it's a reason to call a guarantee services?
if your TF is already rooted, then try the free app wifiadhocenabler from the market. i used this for my galaxy s2 because samsung disabled adhoc connections.
I can connect to my x10 just fine using the native tethering (via settings). I am still on HC though...

I'm just a user, but I had the same problem when I was running Gingerbread on my HTC Legend. Now, there aren't really any proper drivers for that on Gingerbread, so it was done ad-hoc. When I updated to ICS on the TF101 it lost the ability to connect to ad-hoc hotspots. Installing a ROM that uses Froyo fixed it.
I think Prime users faced the same issue, but managed to enable ad-hoc support. Root on the tablet was of course needed.
This is really weird. One day it's connecting and week later it's not. And I haven't been changing ROM since then (neither on the phone or transformer)
Ad-hoc wireless support was supposed to be fixed in the latest .17 ICS update; however, I am still unable to use my TF101 to connect to an ad-hoc network.
