Guest Jan M Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 has anybody figured out how to enable ad-hoc networking? I don't think editing the /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini as described here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82 would help us since we have an atheros chipset not ti...

Guest Jan M Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) maybe the answer lies in the wmiconfig command which has a --adhocbssid parameter... # wmiconfig usage: wmiconfig [-i device] commands commands: --version --power <mode> where <mode> is rec or maxperf --getpower is used to get the power mode(rec or maxperf) ............... --adhocbssid <macaddr> where macaddr is the BSSID for IBSS to be created in xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx format looks like its a "tool written by Atheros Communications Inc to configure the Ar6k WIFI chip"... http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Wmiconfig Edited November 30, 2009 by Jan M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is any progress in this matter? I'll play around with it, but i dont think it will work if we just run this command.. Edit1: Maybe we can tweak wpa_supplicant.conf with similar to this: # IBSS/ad-hoc hálózat WPA-None/TKIP használatával network={ ssid="test adhoc" mode=1 proto=WPA key_mgmt=WPA-NONE pairwise=NONE group=TKIP psk="secret passphrase" Anybody has any experience with wpa_supplicant? } Edited January 1, 2010 by David Horvath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jmmL Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Another post wondering if anyone has made progress. I'd like to use this feature to connect to my laptop's ad-hoc wireless network, because there aren't really any hotspots around here that I can connect to, and the 3G reception on O2 is pretty patchy.

Nope, I was playing around with a few things, but no progress. Wpa supplicant config is not the thing what we need, we should play around with something else.. if i would know what..

Guest Simon O Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 We would need to be able to compile Android for our phones first before we can implement any patches like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i would be pleases about this, cause of my bros using Pulse :D This is not for the Pulse, this is for Android, since the OS itself "can't" connect to ad-hoc networks. I can't try it out, since my Pulse is in service :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
