MAC can be found in Start/Tools/Comm Manager/WiFi press Advanced button then advanced tab
Note that WiFi must be turned on, else it won't display the Mac-Adress, but I guess you know that already.
thanks a lot guys. i bet i went there before(advanced section) but missed the obvious
You guys are awesome
Thank you so much...all of you! I registered on this site just to post this reply.
I know I'm supposed to search the forum first and well, I did but I couldn't find anything which was near what I want to ask.
So, I got a HTC Touch HD from my father (he's old one) and because I don't like windows that much and because I'm using linux on my laptop anyway I wanted to put on Android and well... it worked without any problems (Android 2.2 (FroYo)). Now I wanted to look some stuff up... like how to connect my HTC to my Laptop or how to turn it off... very basic stuff and when I wanted to look it up in the wiki it was kinda strange because it was telling me about the camera and stuff and on the description of FroYo it already says that camera doesn't work and well... it doesn't but that's not the point here.
So my actual question is: Is the forum for FroYo or is it for Windows?
Sorry for making such a large question . Thanks in advance
P.S. forgot to post which link I mean: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:HTC_Blackstone.png
Hey guys I know there are different posts for different phones regarding this but I just thought I'd post one here so I could get a clear answer.
I have a Mac Book Pro and I want to root my Atrix 4g. I'm pretty new to Android so I'm not really good with any of the programs I have to use to root my phone. I know that there are plenty of programs that I can use on a PC, but I was wondering if there was one I can use for my Mac. If there is can someone give me a quick walkthrough of it and help me out, I'd really appreciate it.
I think that the best option is to use Gingerbreak by installing it using adb and then root it.
BTW, later today i'm receiving my Atrix, so I can tell you how it works.

Hi everyone
as many many other users, I'm looking for a solution to enable ad-hoc networks with many failed attempts...
the only obstacle that faced all devs on all forums is that they can't produce working wpa_supplicant as they can't edit the appropriate source code for our tablets,
now, devs CAN view the ICS source code via samsung OSRC :
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=GT-P5113
can any 'super talanted' developer make a working ICS wpa_supplicant that can view ad-hoc networks for us?
:good: folks, if you need this too, reply the poll shown above to show developers how many need this
So I guess you all don't need adhoc anymore seems like I'm the only one need this!! forget it devs :\
I have a general idea what ad hoc is but maybe not the whole picture. So can someone please explain why I would need that capability? It seems ICS has included ways to connect devices together to share files, internet, multiplayer gaming.
Edit- Just did a search and have a better understanding but still dont quite get why or what it would be used for.

Technically speaking, ad-hoc networks does not need (infrastructure) to operate, like routers, access points ... etc,
in general, we can say it's a state in which all devices have the same status and communicate with each other freely without routing or so,
In my case, it's just too simple that I need to get my GT-P5113 tablet tethered with my Nokia phone :laugh:
unfortunately, the stupid Symbian OS of Nokia can generate ad-hoc networks only, so if I take my tablet outside without an available wifi-hotspot (most of time), the only option is tethering with my phone to get connected ...
there were many patches for the earlier android versions, but for ICS still no one could make a working wpa_supplicant patch to enable it,
the obstacle was that we couldn't reach the 'source' of samsung ICS used on our tablets, now samsung released it ... but seems like no one interested in this feature anymore
I still am interested in ad hoc on the tablet and also on the same boat for tethering with my Nokia (N8 FTW). I've been looking frantically for a solution even rooted it 3 days after purchase hoping I can enable the ad hoc.
Would switching to a custom rom solve this problem??
There's also patch made by Polish dev Szym who found that method. Patch automatically make changes in the wpa_supplicant source, but we need someone who know how coding and building from android source.
I already sent to szym question about help, he don't yet mail me back so I waiting for the answer atm.
Patch can be found here - szym.net/2010/12/adhoc-wifi-in-android/
Im only not soure if it support ICS, coz guide was written long time ago...
If someone would be able to undertake this, I'll be glad for modified wpa_supplicant to GT-P3110 as well.

I hope we manage it soon, stay tuned.

Keep us updated.
I have a hunch the patch is not for ics because it was made a good while ago. If someone can just have the modified wpa file which works with ics to catch ad hoc signal, that would be fantastic. I wonder what changed in ics that made all modded wpa file not working.
Ad Hoc GT2 7 FTW!!!

What I can't understand is:
Why do you ask this in a forum dedicated to Bluetooth wristwatches?

Hi tihimasmo
A moderator changed my post here, you know in what section i can post my thread ?
And thanks
Haha, he really did? Then I guess my question is directed at the moderator.
Closing this thread. Using such an app on a public Wi-Fi network that isn't yours to begin with is probably not the wisest thing to do, and may even be illegal.
