As the title may suggest I want to create an ad-hoc network with my rpi. So far I've been successful in creating one with commands in terminal and I managed to connect a laptop using kali with ssh to my rpi using local ips like 10.0.0.2. But my original goal is to control my rpi with something more versatile like a tablet or an android device in general not just computers. So I have two questions:
-is it a hardware problem from the network adapters in the android devices that makes them unable to connect to the ad-hoc?
-is it a software problem instead so I should root my device or change the drivers in the android kernel?
-am I doing sth wrong with the ad-hoc configuration in the rpi?
Or is it sth I cannot think of that makes me fail?

i would like to use my xda2 as a regular wireless phone.
i thought it could be possible by putting an isdn-card into my pc and then connect to that pc via bluetooth.
however i have no idea how to do it or what software is needed.
could anyone help me with this please?
when the pda is connected to activesync over usb or bluetooth it have access to the same network as the pc
yes, i know, but i would like to know wich software i have to use to make it possible to use it as a regular phone.
Wait, let me get this straight:
You want to use your XDA2 and laptop to dial through the fixed phone line where XDA will act simply as wireless headset (like DECT phones)?
I don't think such software exists, the closest you can get is using Skype over WiFi or the PC internet connection (via ActiveSync).
Besides, can ISDN card even make voice calls? I think you need a good old fashion analog modem for that.
afaik there does exist a software for that for linux, but my pc is windows based.
and yes, isdn can make voise calls (search google for isdn cis).
for linux have a look at this post:

Asterisk (http://www.asterisk.org/) works. You'll have to set up a linux box to run it on though.
and exactly that is my problem.
i only have a windows pc that i could use for that.
cant you just dualboot ?
or boot of a cd into linux heck recall linux distro's
back in the day which could fit on a floppy
You could run linux on a secondary inexpensive low spec box. Don't be afraid of linux, it's worth giving it a try
im not afraid of linux, but i have two pcs, one htpc and one to work with.
and since i do not want to reboot one of these to be able to use my telephone, i just cant install linux.
and since im still going to school, i dont have that much money to afford another pc.
so does nobody know of a windows solution for this problem?
I am new the the Android game especially the tablets. I have searched high and low and I can not find an answer. I want to know if anyone has used their tablet to telnet or SSH to a Cisco or other device using the USB connection.
Has anyone atleast thought of this as an option?
Better terminal pro has a ssh app that may suit your needs?
FWIW, I use the app connectbot to ssh to my router (Netgear) and nas (Qnap). But that's via the WiFi, I don't know if you can connect via USB.

ssh
I know that I can connect via WiFi I wanted to know if I could console into the device. I want to know if the USB be is a multi function port.
Hi,
I was constantly annoyed by the poor wifi signal when I had my devices connected to the computer, so I wondered why I could not use my computer's Internet connection on the Android devices when they were already connected via a USB cable. Extensive Google and XDA searches only showed solutions that would not work with recent Android versions, did not work with all Operating Systems, only worked sporadically or required the Android device to be rooted. I finally decided I had to develop my own solution.
I started to investigate, learned TCP, spent hours fixing nasty networking bugs, and finally, here is ReverseTethering NoRoot. The app runs on all Android versions starting from ICS. It does require a server program on the host computer, though that is available for Windows, Mac and Linux, and it does not have to be installed, it runs as a portable app without touching your registry or system files.
As the app does not require root permissions, there is no danger that it might mess up your system. The worst thing that might happen is that you have to reboot.
Because it implements its own network layer and does not rely on any system command line tools on the host, it works on the widest possible range of computers.
There is one drawback though: As with other reverse tethering solutions, some apps only check for a Wifi or 3G connection, so they might not recognize ReverseTethering's connection. Unfortunately, this applies to recent versions of some Google apps. E.g. while downloading apps from Google Play via the reverse tethered connection works on Android 4.1 on a Galaxy Note 8, it does not on Android 4.3 or Android 6.0.
Although untested, the workarounds for this issue that work for other reverse tethering solutions should also work for this solution.
I have opened a dedicated thread for the app in the Applications forum over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-reversetethering-noroot-t3316716
TL;DR: A reverse tethering app that works on Android 4.0+, all host OS and does not require root
Let me know if you have any questions, feedback or suggestions! :laugh::fingers-crossed:
Using a Samsung tablet where I require WiFi connection and USB wired ethernet connection to be enabled. The WiFi connection will support a default gateway for so-called back haul connection. The wired ethernet connects to a linux based device. I have seen posts about how to do this on StackExchange using Android 4 back in 2014, however, the source code referenced in that example was refactored in 2015 (ConnectivityService.java) and is unrecognizable to me in Android 7. The old Android 4 solution called for either recompiling the java source or extracting the *.smali file and modifying it. Both methods essentially disabled “one network at a time” logic in Android. The lack of information on this topic since 2014 leads me to think that I am asking the wrong question and that the capability I want is available in a different form. I am looking Looking for someone to provide a direct answer or point me in the right direction.
How can i setup my TL-WN722N to my Samsung galaxy tab a??? I found things online about having to change the kernel, I've been able to extract my kernel from my boot.img file but as far as how to edit it I have no idea what to do. If I can't do it myself with help of the forum I'm willing to pay sum1 to do it for me I can send the kernel to any1 interested.

For what reason would you want to use an external WiFi adapter over the inbuilt wifi?
For several reasons extended range for 1 but also use with kali nethunter and kali in Linux deploy for monitor mode to packet capture . Only on networks I have permission to do so with of course . Really I would be using it as a learning tool. I already have a pc running kali n Virtual box no problems there. But would prefer the more mobile aspect of using with my tablet. Being able to practice on the go without lugging around a laptop just seems much better. And you know it sounds totally kewl I'm sure there are plenty of other tab a users who would want a kernel with external wifi support as well.

Your best bet is to try running something like Linux deploy on your Tab, and connecting the WiFi adapter to it with a USB-OTG cable. (Researching the adapter model says its USB compatible) I can't speak for running Linux deploy on our Tab though, I've never tried it. Other than range and possible pen testing, you shouldn't see any advantage over simply using the native WiFi on a 5ghz network. You'll be limited by the internal write speed anyhow. Judging by TWRP's back up rate, its something around 40-50mb/sec.
Already have kali on linux deploy. Problem is the hardware for the adapter has to be built into android kernel in order to function. Have a pc with ubuntu i could use to modify the kernel problem is i dont know how to do that.

I'll see if I can turn up any info. I have a vested interest in this. I want get USB tethering running. I'd imagine the changes are going to be similar.
