SGS ad-hoc WiFi support (wpa_supplicant patch)

Hi!
Did anyone manage to connect to an ad hoc wifi network? Its my understanding that you have to root your phone and edit some files in order to do so. My phone is already rooted. Anyone willing to try it out and give the steps here?
Thanks!

Android 2.1 does not support this.

Yes! I know that! But i think you can edit some files after rooting in order to allow this?

Galaxy S wont find ad hoc AP, how to fix?
Hi, how to configure galaxy to connect to a ad hoc ap? It seems like wont find the ac hoc SSID at all?

Hello,
Ad Hoc Access Points support start with Froyo, if you really need it, give the latest XXJP2 a try

Any luck finding the answer?

Nope! No luck yet! And it seems no one is interested

have you tried modifying those files (wpa_supplicant.conf and others)?

Are you just trying to use your phone as a mobile APN? Because this is built into the galaxy S.

I am trying to use my wired LAN connection on my phone using the Laptop's ad-hoc wifi connection.

I'm reasonably confident that it simply isn't supported in Android 2.1 and that it's totally unrelated to config files (i.e. There's nothing your average user can do about it). I don't know if ad-hoc wireless made it into Froyo but there has definitely been an official feature request filed to Google for ad-hoc functionality.

i also find it very annoying that sgs doesn't support ad-hoc.

You can try to use this software http://www.connectify.me/

sadly it uses windows 7..

Just had a look over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961
Can any dev please patch the SGS version of wpa_supplicant? Pretty please?

really??
i couldn't find it even though i have jp3

The android OS filters out all Ad-hoc networks. There was a patched wpa_supplicant that seems to be working for some. I tried it and it does display the ad-hoc networks but fails when trying to obtain an IP... I am stay playing with it but I will update if I even manage a connection.

[Q] Wifi problem [can't see milestone's tether network]

Hi all,
I'm tring to connect my galaxy tab to internet through wifi tether on milestone and the tab can't see the milestone wifi network.
I know for sure that milestone's wifi tether works fine because I can use it with my laptop.
Anyone has the same issue?
How can I solve?

hi
i used the wifi hotspot of my desire and it worked great.
what i miss is the capability to find and connect to Ad Hoc's
(they just dont appear in the networks list on my tab)
maybe the milestone is creating a ad hoc.

Yes it is..
How can i make a different network type and fix it?

wifi problem (can't see tether)
Hi guyz,
Just opened my brand new Galaxy tab , I'm having the same issue: he doesn't see any tether network (from my windows mobile 6.1 htc p3650) neither any "ad hoc" network created from my laptop pc sony vaio.

(originally created by "daveba")
and here there is a video with the procedure http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5o5WlyA7WI&feature=player_embedded
Hope you (and me) will solve with this trick,
please report me any problems /other ways to fix
Thank you, good work

wi fi router of winmo phone not being seen on galaxy tab

I have a tmobile galaxy tab running on Roto JMI v2, and I dont have any cellular/data connection now. I have a winmo phone where I have wi-fi router installed which has internet available.
My galaxy tab can never see the wireless network which is being broadcasted by my winmo phone. I know my phone is doing the right thing as I can connect my laptop to it and surf the internet, but my galaxy tab does not see it.
I tried adding it manually, but still no connection.
Did anyone face this problem? Is it something to do with winmo phones?

I bet it's an ad-hoc network, you'll need to edit wpa_supplicant.conf

Not Winmo specifically, but ADHOC networks in general. Had to replace the WPA_supplicant with one that would allow adhoc connections. I've done that and it works fine. Might be the same issue.
There is a topic on this board about connecting your GTAB to a OG Droid or Droid X and it has the links to the file and the process...

[Q] Unable to join Ad-hoc network

Hi,
I've do some explanation of what i want to do first.
I've an Wifi OBD2 adaptor in my car that allow me to use apps in my Galaxy S4 like Dashcommand. In the past, i'Ve an iPhone, which i can use whit that. But now, my galaxy S4, and many other android device i've try like Galaxy Nexus, or Galaxy S3, doesn't see the adapter wifi network.
I've do some search on the internet, and found it's because Android doesn't support natively the AD-Hoc network mode. Whit the search result, i've found some WPA_Supplicant file that i've put on my rooted phone, and nothing i'Ve try let me use wifi.
I've use the original roms, try in the past Cyanogen Nightlies on a SGS3.
Anyone have an WPA_Supplicant file that compatible whit the S4?
Thank you very much for your help!

[Q] N4 Connection to a AD-Hoc Network

Hey Guys,
I know already about some threads about that, however, I'm searching for a possibility to be able to connect to a Ad-Hoc network.
I'm using a Google Nexus 4 with the current Android version (KitKat 4.4.2). Even though i can't see the Ad-Hoc network which i createt. (Laptop can see it)
I created the Ad-Hoc network with my jailbroke iPad (so please don't post the solutions with windows) I searched a few days now but don't know what is actually working.
- wpa_supplicant for nexus 4?
- any ROM supporting it? (with Kernel?)
- any App/Mod activating it?
Would be nice if somebody could say something about it.
Greetings.
