Guest tavella Posted December 29, 2010 Report Posted December 29, 2010 I Have been searching around but I haven't found a working solution yet. My Streak will not connect to Ad-Hoc wifi connections and I don't have a way to use Bluetooth DUN/PAN. I found a wpa_supplicant fix that will detect the wifi connection from my iphone but it will not obtain an ip address. Setting a manual address doesn't work either. Due to PCI/DSS and I really don't feel like arguing the fact my wifi connection would be a neighboring network I need something. Since I run a Mac, USB tethering is out and I really just don't feel like paying for PDANet. I've done a bit of searching and I'm at a loss. Could someone provide me with some help to work sound this? If i can tether via PAN or USB, I'd be a lot happier. Thanks.
Guest AIR-WIZZ Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 I use barnacle. Works great. You will need to root the Streak first.

Search this forum on this topic for more info. http://szym.net/barnacle/ Thanks for responding but I'm really trying to find a way to connect my Streak to my iPhone Internet connection. I have two coworkers with a Droid X and they can connect to my iPhone without a problem. Barnacle appears to be using the Streak as. Wifi AP where I need the Streak to connect to another device. Any other suggestions?

Any other suggestions? this may sound silly, but put your iPhone sim in your streak and use it as a hot spot for the other phones?

I have two coworkers with a Droid X and they can connect to my iPhone without a problem. Barnacle appears to be using the Streak as. Wifi AP where I need the Streak to connect to another device. Any other suggestions? Is your Streak able to connect to any other Ad-Hoc wireless networks or is it just a problem with the iPhone? I saw you've tried the WPA supplicant instructions and its still not working for you. About a year ago there was a thread on the official Android code repository at Google regarding this. They mention a patch (13291 and 13292) that does address / resolve ad-hoc wireless connectivity in some cases. The URL I'm referring to is http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82 Edited January 6, 2011 by Geilt

I tried creating one on my Macbook Pro and a HP laptop and both had the same results. I was able to get pand running on the Streak but it wouldn't create the bnep0 interface to use with hcitool and sdptool. The bnep0 interface did not show up in ifconfig either and it is compiled into the kernel confirmed by Steve and Meralias My research will go on.
Guest hitch Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Just bumping this as I would love to have a bt solution also.

Guest rlowell Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 Someone needs to do some careful investigation of the new BT tethering functionality that Google is putting in Honeycomb. It may end up that they only offer Bluetooth Dialup Networking support (DUN) if the source of the 3G is in their platform. PDANet does that. OR they may also allow the Honeycomb device to receive its Internet connectivity this way. Many people call this "Reverse DUN". I think this last case is what you're looking for. I'm looking for this too. The DUN funtionality is fully implemented in Linux (BlueZ). But Google has not done much work to bring it up in the java framework that is Android. Maybe that will change with Honeycomb. I certainly hope so.
Guest tavella Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 I was able to locate a copy of wpa_supplicant v0.6.10 which does see the iBSS/Ad Hoc sites but it will not obtain an IP address... Closer than I was before. if anyone would like a copy let me know and I push it to dropbox or something like that.
Guest rlowell Posted February 19, 2011 Report Posted February 19, 2011 tavella: 'Just curious.. you said you were able to "get pand running". Did you compile the ROM yourself? Someone who did would have had to compile pand and maybe dund. What ROM are you using? Does it have both of these bluetooth daemons compiled in? rlowell
Guest rlowell Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) I've done some reading. Honeycomb supports PAN - not DUN. That's bad for me and all the feature phone users out there. Our phones only support DUN. But if you already have a smart phone and data plan, you should (all the smart phones tend to use PAN) be able to tether a Streak with Honeycomb ROM (and all of the Streaks wireless interfaces other than Bluetooth disabled).
