I have been trying to get my Vega to connect with my Hero, but because it is only to be able to create an AdHoc network the Vega won't play ball.
Is it possible to have this option included in an upcoming ROM?
There is some good information from Bisto321 on this thread that should be clear to some, but not to me.

It is not too difficult to do, I assume that you are already rooted and running pauls rom?
If you can get hold of Root Explorer (
http://www.androidzo...n_download.html ) it is really good and well worth the small payment, you can then have a look in the data/misc/wifi/ folder and look for the wpa_supplicant.conf file.
If this file does not exist at that location you should perform a search for wpa_supplicant.conf, it may be in a different folder on the vega.
You may find one in /system/etc/wifi - this is usually a system file that contains example info and configuration information for wpa_supplican.conf, I made a copy of this one too.
once you find the copy of wpa_supplicant.conf that contains info like that shown below copy and paste in the same folder to create a backup and then copy another to your SD card for extra saftey
network={
ssid="AndroidTether" <-------- this is your ssid for your hotspot
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
auth_alg=OPEN SHARED
wep_key0=abcdefghijklm <-------- this is your wep key
{
then, making sure you have mounted the file system as r/w, open in a text editor and follow the XDA thread to add the missing bits and save
should now look more like this(missing bits in bold);
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="AndroidTether" <-------- this is your ssid for your hotspot
scan_ssid=1
mode=1
key_mgmt=NONE
auth_alg=OPEN SHARED
wep_key0=abcdefghijklm <-------- this is your wep key
Priority=999
{
there will be references at the top of the file to another path and file and maybe an update_config=1 too, ignore these, only work with the bit that has your wirless tether details as shown above
If you do not see your tether details but can see your wifi router, your adhoc info may have been overwritten or you have not manually added it from the wifi manager.
To do this turn on your wifi but do not connect to your router, then go to settings/wireless and network/Wi-Fi settings and add a network (at bottom of list if you can’t see it) then add your tether details.
The default for the Hero 2.2 Rom is usually AndroidTether for ssid and wep is abcdefghijklm. Then turn off Wi-Fi.
once you have done that, browse using root explorer again and look for the wpa_supplicant.conf file open it and add the missing bits shown above and save your new wpa_supplicant.conf file.
Exit root explorer and rescan for networks and AndroidTether should show up and you should be able to connect.
This worked for me first time (jammy git) and I then had to progress to the next stage of using the nl.rogro.GScriptLite.apk app, from the download in the second post i linked to, to switch (it is just a script to copy and rename the files) This may need some modification if your wpa_supplicant.conf is not in the 'default' folder.
If you are not happy doing the above you may have to wait for paul or someone else to fully modify the wpa_supplicant file to allow adhoc - this would be the preferred option for most - but this method should work.
Can anyone with a vega and root explorer confirm the wpa_supplicant file is in data/misc/wifi/ or where it does live? this may help your fellow 'adhoc only' vega chums to tether.
It may be the case that the vega is a bit more bespoke and uses a slightly different setup (my Galaxy Tab does) without confirmation from somone with root file explorer access we can’t tell yet.
Someone must be tethering adhoc? But has not yet seen your cry for help - I am sure someone will be along soon to help out

Not as bad as it sounds the tether app i use gives the option to allow or deny access anyway.
