WiFi on campus here uses WPA enterprise auth - good. I was shocked when I saw that the phone seemingly didn't support it. Network didn't even appear in the list, and Add Network only supports WPA Personal / WEP. How Apple of them. But WHY? It's wpa_supplicant behind the scenes.
I've been using campus wifi successfully for a few days now. It seems to integrate well enough - the wifi settings menu doesn't seem to break at all, the enterprise-authed network and status are listed correctly including the 'lock' icon, etc.
These instructions are slightly modified from being specific to the particular university (posted locally too, you see). If you can rub some braincells together, this can be adapted. The parts regarding a certificates file may or may not be needed in your setup, for example.
* Get a root shell
* cd /data/misc/wifi/
* cat wpa_supplicant.conf
* The existing supplicant config is displayed - copy and paste it into a text editor (the beginning bits are important, as are your existing networks)
* Paste in a working wpa_supplicant.conf section for your network at the end
* Fill in username and password in the new section. Replace the path for cacerts.pem with /data/misc/wifi/cacerts.pem
* Save the new config onto the SD card
* Save the cacerts.pem (same site) onto the SD card also
* On the handset: In the settings/storage menu, disable the SD card for USB storage (otherwise, can't access it from the shell)
* rm wpa_supplicant.conf
* cp would be used here normally, but it isn't in the stock image: dd if=/sdcard/wpa_supplicant.conf of=wpa_supplicant.conf
* chmod 666 wpa_supplicant.conf (Warning! Readable/Writable by EVERYONE! Use 664 such that only root can write it if you want, but this will possibly disallow changes by the settings app - if chown was available, ownership would be reverted back to wifi:wifi)
* dd if=/sdcard/cacerts.pem of=cacerts.pem
* chmod 444 cacerts.pem (needs to be readable by wifi user)
* The network should appear in the wifi menu and connect if you enable wifi. Reboot if not maybe?
Problems:
* Permissions are a bit wonky due to lack of chown. The process would be cleaner with busybox installed (possible with root), but this process is written to work on a stock RC29 handset.
* It will almost surely fail following an update. Try not to give up root before the WiFi UI is patched
* Maybe there's a reason that enterprise auth is absent from the settings UI
* WiFi settings page may or may not break. WiFi settings page may or may not undo your changes.
A quick troubleshooting tip: if you've dealt with wpa_supplicant before, note that wpa_cli is available to root. Helpful to diagnose any issues that crop up.
Enjoy.
How Apple of them. But WHY? It's wpa_supplicant behind the scenes

I suspect it's because the majority of consumers only access wifi networks secured through psk or mac-address. iirc my university used mac-address too. Not sure if that's changed by now. In any case, I wouldn't hold my breath for official support on the G1. Maybe on some future Android device with enterprise in mind.
Anyway, good tips and good first post. Welcome to the forum
busybox has chown
WPA2
Can I ask a question?
The SSID for your campus wifi is not broadcasted, correct? if this is true, then it won't show up and the only way to get access is to add it manually.
Now when you go to add it manually, did you try to change the type of security before you flipped out the keyboard? Just wondering since WPA2 is clearly seen if you have the keyboard in and if you have it out it looks like WPA2 isn't an option but if you try to move the security box with a swipe up with your finger, WPA2 will be shown. I haven't had a single problem attaching to my home or work network using WPA2 PSK since RC19 and beyond.
Yep, busybox has chown - which makes the whole thing cleaner and safer. My instructions were written originally with no assumptions as to previous modding, incl how to get telnet.
The wifi network here does broadcast, but is filtered out due to "unsupported" security. Add network lists wpa2 personal but not enterprise.
I modified my wpa_supplicant.conf file using your instructions and it worked!
Thanks!

Because there's a substantial amount of UI work that needs to be done for WPA2-Enterprise compared with the relatively common WPA2-PSK.
My advice? If official support is something you'd like, go write it and submit a patch to the Android devs.
Not working
I can't get this to work. It says "failed to start wifi".
My non-enterprise wifi won't even work now. It connects but apps say network error.
I am trying to connect to my university's wifi that is "Secure 802.1X authentication and EAP-TTLS with PAP inner-authentication (anonymous)"
Can anyone give me an example config for this? It doesn't use a certificate.
Confirm that the permissions were set correctly on wpa_supplicant.conf
I'm sure you can find an example for that particular setup online somewhere.

try this:
adb shell
cd /data/misc/wifi
chown 1010:1010 wpa_supplicant.conf
Worked for me too, but the connection was really unstable. I've added the option bssid to wpa_supplicant.conf to prevent roaming. Now it works really well on my desk, but I haven´t tried the rest of the company.
need help connecting
I'm trying to connect to a campus network, I see the SSID detected (as following), and It tries to connect and aborts by itself.
my wpa_supplicant.conf shows this:
network={
ssid="Techwifi"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=2
}
hey guys,
will this also work with WPA2 and EAP/TTLS with PAP?
or do you know when this feature will be integrated?
thaks a lot

Yes, I have it working.
Code:
network={
ssid="ssidname"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=TTLS
identity="user"
password="pass"
phase2="auth=PAP"
}
Note: It seems to drain my G1's battery pretty nicely and it starts to get hot after being connected for a bit. Also, my G1 added disabled=1 to the end of this network after the ADP1 v1.1 update, strange.
Thanks happyface_0,
so I will have a few minutes online.
Is there a way to alter your wpa_supplicant settings on an unrooted German G1 , or how can i downgrade and then alter the settings, does anyone know?
I'd love to know that too, i really want to use wifi at work.
Can we do anything to help you help us?
Maybe someone with a US RC33 can look if the WPA 2 Enterprise support finally made it into the gui of the G1 , then our problem would be solved ,
can´t find something on the net which says that WPA 2 Enterprise was part of the Internet .
So please can somebody look up his or her connection settings for wlan and tell us if WPA 2 Enterprise is available now?

Neither WPA-Enterprise nor WPA-2 Enterprise are available yet without actually editing the wpa_supplicant configuration manually, even on RC33.
Hmm thats pretty sad, is it actually possible to write a program which can edit the Wpa_supplicant file so that we can manually insert the settings we need to get WPA 2 Enterprise working , even on phones without root?
Does anyone have the cab file for the HTC Wi-Fi Router app that's installed on most HD2's? I got mine from O2 and they don't include this on their ROM version.
Cheers.
Hi,
What about that
http://www.pocketpc.ch/news/59850-neuer-htc-cab-hd-wird-zum-wifi-router.html
It's not the one from the Leo, but seems to be interesting too.
Have fun
Seem to have found the files, for them i have the (from the official rom dump)
gfx
icons,
exe
and mui
now would i be right in just putting these in \windows and creating the reg entry for the icon and a shortcut for start menu and be done
How would i add the entry for the comm manager?

Change Wi-fi router apn
Hi,
when I start Wi-fi router, it always use wap apn. Is there any way how to change it to internet apn? Thanks for any help
the cab was upped months ago in dev and hacking.
May well have been l3v35y that upped it
Thanks guys.
I've downloaded it and installed it and it seems to run OK, unfortunately I cannot fully test it at the mo because my data connection is screwed until Monday.
Will let you know if it works OK next week.
Added security
Only thing I dont like about the Wifi Router is the low security on it, I understand WPA2 may demand too much form the phone, but a simple config file in which you could add the MAC adresses allowed to connect to the Router would be great.. anyone know who wrote it? I love the Wifi router feature, but a simple if-not-on-the-MAC-list-no-connection feature would make it a LOT better.
htc hd2 wifi router
can anyone help me find the site in english?
thx, but the most custom roms have a good integrated wifi router
Does this program store any log file information or internet history on the phone itself? I do a lot of sensitive financial transactions on my laptop and want to make sure it's not being stored on the phone as well.
Hello all! I'm quite sure the answer is already out there somewhere, but looking in some similar topics I have not found the answer to my specific question.
A little background; my wife and I both have AT&T 8525's (HTC Hermes'), and we are both running vp3G's WinMo6 v3.62 AT&T cooked ROM (if that makes a diff in this). We have several multiplayer games we regularly play using our wi-fi router at home, which works fine as long as we are in range of the router.
MY QUESTION IS: Is it possible to network our two phones together via wi-fi for the purposes of multiplayer gaming, file sharing, etc? If so, can you point me to instructions on how to do this? I would like to be able to setup my phone to be the "hot spot", and then her phone would detect my phone as an access point. Again my primary goal in this is simply for multi-player gaming, but I would also like to be able to share files in this manner (as in a Windows Explorer or similar type setting, where we can browse each other's phones, copy/paste files, etc. much like using the "Map Network Drive" in PC Windows). I don't need to use this setup to access the internet, but if the capability is there then that is fine (keep in mind I only use wi-fi for internet and never use AT&T's data network).
So basically I'm looking for one of two setup schemes here:
Scheme #1 (simple, preferred, basically a tiny network consisting of our two PPC's):
{PPC#2 Connected to PPC#1 via WiFi} --> {PPC#1 Acting as WiFi Hot-Spot for PPC#2, can do multiplayer gaming & file browsing/sharing, etc} --> {NO EXTERNAL NETWORK CONNECTION, works everywhere our 2 phones are in wi-fi range of one another}
Scheme #2: (only if it HAS to be this setup for some reason I can't fathom)
{PPC#2 Connected to PPC#1 via WiFi} --> {PPC#1 Acting as WiFi Hot-Spot for PPC#2, Gets Internet Connection from WiFi router and shares with PPC#2} --> {Linksys WiFi Router}
Ok, so there's what I'm after. If for some reason both of the above setups are not possible, what about Bluetooth (WiFi still my first choice)? I am still learning Windows Mobile so I apologize if this is something elementary or considered to be self-evident, or if it is something I have overlooked on this forum already.
(I also have some more challenging questions I will post separately at a later time, but this seems as if it should be relatively simple & easy to setup so first things first).
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME IN READING AND/OR RESPONDING TO THIS, IT IS APPRECIATED!

Somebody? Anybody? Nobody knows how to do this, or if it is possible? or difficult? or nobody has done it? surely the info is out there... what am I doing wrong?
IF this device is sold in the thousands on Black Friday, there will probably be a "couple" or more people interacting with this forum. Perhaps the following would be handy:
1. Start from scratch guide (CW and non-CW methods)
2. Pros and cons of CW vs non-CW (assuming non-CW will be an option with the OEM update based roms)
3. Survival kit if in boot loop
4. Links to roms & add on apps (with dates of when updated)
If Roeb, Roth and others could consider a guide and approach it from a general audience level (not clueless, but not a root vet either), this could save a LOT of posts due to questions related to how to do it or fix it when doing it wrong.
I thought i was already doing that.
If a user can't do a firmware update, then they might as well stick to TnT stock. I think the biggest issue they'd face is the infinite reboots, since the fix sometimes requires cwm or even nvflash.
EDIT: I have a general FAQ in tegratab - - I'll port it over.
Good point
BTW, anybody able to get the Gtablet to work with either USB or wifi tethering? I have struck out with both using my Incredible, which works fine with my laptop.

WiFi tethering worked for me using my Nexus One. I had to do nothing special to get it to work. At the time I was running Zpad 0.2. I'm on Cyanogen Beta 2 right now, but I've been running on my home WiFi. I'll try the wifi tether and report.

Does the Incredible (like the Droid1) only provide Adhoc (vs. Infrastructure/AP) Wireless tether???
If so, then you will need to make the 2 wpa_supplicant.conf file edits SIMILAR to what I described for the ZT-180...
http://www.slatedroid.com/zt-180/69...o-static-ipaddr-required-edit-files-once.html
I say Similar, as the ctrl_interface=wlan0 on Gtab vs. =ra0 on ZT-180... but otherwise it's just edit the same 2 files the same way...

Not sure, but I do know this works with my M11X, but I mainly do USB tether, which I am guessing does not work either (since I could not get it to work on the Gtablet). Not had to mess with settings before...
Dang, if I can not fix this, my love affair with the G will be but a short fling- need to be able to tether.
I can not even get the blue tooth to pair.
I was so focused on the PSX gaming and web & Flash at home, but never figured in a million years that I could not connect to my Inc.
There is a bunch of options in the app I use, simply called "Wireless Tether".
The Gtablet will sometimes say "network available", but does not show it (probably work's, but even my Inc will show the network here). Then again, I turn my Inc off and the G still says "network avialable", so go figure.

All you need to know is the SSID... for your phones tether... I believe I used what was the default for the Droid1 which is likely the same... you can enable Wifi Analyzer on the GTab to determine the SSID when you enable tether on the phone and that should be the only thing you need to know for Adhoc with Not change of settings to the phone... then the 2 file edits... my example locks my 2 home networks and my Adhoc tether configured and overwrite/updte disabled so when I temp find roaming nets I can cannect but Not sane them for later but that works just fine for me... so I'd say copy the networks you have saved Now in your /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and use them to replace my jtb* networks... and try just using my adhoc network as is, with same globals I show in the examples...
Are there not sub-mod's that can do this stuff on this sub-forums? If not, this will be really annoying trying to get a sticky.

How can I do both at the same time? Using same device (using Inc for wifi analyzer and wifi tether at same time should not work)
Gtablet does not see my phone, but connects to my home system and see area networks fine at home Traveling on the road is the killer for me
I am not understanding the file edits you mention. Is there a highlight of what parameters to edit, or is this all new script?
Update.
Even using PDAnet is a bust with Bluetooth. The devices pair, but no connection.

Yes, my example does both... I can turn on tether sitting in my home lab and sometimes the gtab even switches from my weaker AP to the phone adhoc... usually I just toggle wifi off/on to get it to switch... if I stop tether it jumps to my AP...
Really the only params that are required are the ones I set in the example...
These global params would be same for you...;
# Globals
ctrl_interface=wlan0
update_config=0
ap_scan=2
This Adhoc specific network would be same for you I believe just verify your ssid all else is definitely same as default in tether from market...;
network={
ssid="AndroidTether"
scan_ssid=1
mode=1
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=30
}
Then paste what you currently have saved for networks you frequent below these like my 2 home AP nets, so your currently saved networks would differ here...;
# Lab default
network={
ssid="jtbnet-lab-wireless-3"
key_mgmt=NONE
auth_alg=OPEN SHARED
wep_key0=16593b8024
priority=20
}
# Home default
network={
ssid="jtbnet1"
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=10
}
Once you have the /data/ short version of your file like above... just also paste that piece to top of the /etc/wifi sample file that the tablet uses as a starting template and comment out the 2 differing settings further down in that original template file...
# update_config=1
# ap_scan=1
And you should be good to go to work on your current saved local nets as you can now, plus your Wifi Adhoc Tether.... the update_config=0 says don't overwrite these files with any found nets, or change any of my default settings... , but you can still roam and connect... just won't save any of the temp nets you find roaming as they will change some of the critical settings like ap_scan=2 if you let them update... you can always manually edit and change or add locked down nets later...

Most likely an android issue.
If you are using barnicle or wifi tethering your laptop will see it fine, the laptop can normally see what is called Ad Hoc networks.
Android cannot (unless tweaked?) normally see an Ad Hoc Network, they need what is called infrastructure mode, which is what a normal wireless router transmits at (unless modified to something else), so the GTab will not see your incredible's signal like your laptop will.
I am using the droid X and the 3g hotspot app, the 3g hotspot transmits in infrastructure mode by default and the gtab sees it fine.
There are hacks to get 3g hotspot for free, but I would not guarantee Verizon can't still see a connection and charge you, use at your own risk.

i'm connected to my incredible right now, it works fine using wifi tether from the market.
I am still having no luck with Incredible and getting the Gtab to see it. No problem with my router at home.
I am using TnT 1.02, wifi tether app and even tried the binary file add on from the EVO.
1) This thread seems to have turned from sticky to tethering -- different but extremely useful info. May I suggest the moderators to move the relevant posts to a new **sticky** thread?
2) Speaking of tether: Have anyone managed to do USB tether with the g-tablet? This could very well be the key factor in my decision to keep or return the g-tablet, and I'd be most appreciative for any help and advice from the advanced users here.
Thanks!
I have tried everything software likely, but still no wifi tether being seen by the device. I can activate hotspot and the Gtablet sees it and ask for a password, so at least the G can see my Inc- just not in straight wifi mode. Does not see it at all and I do think it is the ad-hoc issue. Gtablet not seeing it for some reason.
Could it be due to having TnT lite 1.02? Perhaps the people having luck are using Z-Pad .03 or CM?
Wonder if it is possible to create drivers for USB tether?
Here is what I had to do after the newest dec 2010 update
#
#
# Connecting your viewsonic gtablet to your Ad-HOC wifi
#
#
adb pull /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.com
cp wpa_supplicant.conf wpa_supplicant.conf.orig
[Edit WPA_supplicant.conf]
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="YOUR-SSID"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=1
priority=99
}
{YOUR OTHER NETWORKS HERE}
adb push wpa_supplicant.com /sdcard/wpa_supplicant.conf
use androot or root explorer to delete the current wpa_supplicant.conf file and copy the modified version to /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
chown the wpa_aupplicant.conf file to owner wifi group wifi (ie #chown wifi.wifi wpa_supplicant.conf)
[notes]
Your ad-hoc network should be the first in the list as outlined above. make sure that the priority is set to a high number.
when enabling your teather on your phone you may need to disable the wifi on your tablet then reenable. wpa_supplicant will always attempt to
connect to the first network with the highest priority first so it should connect right up. If you have problems you can use logcat to debug.
you will see wpa_supplicant getting enabled and if there are any errors you will see it there. You should not need to set the update_config option
but if you have problems with your conf getting overwritten you can set update_config=0 and this will not allow wpa_supplicant to update the config.
The only downside to that is that you will not longer beable to save new network blocks to the file, You can still connect it just will not save them.
I just loaded TNT 3.0 and the supplements yesterday. I jus tried the Wireless Tether app from the market on my Droid 1 and my G Tab sees and is able to connect.
Ok eveyone Here is something that myself and adamdietrick
Worked on for a few hours. The tablet is not to great without the internet
So I been racking my brain trying to figure this out.
So what we need to do first is get a few programs from the market place
The programs you will need are:
HydTech's adhoc wifi <-----Install it onto your phone cost like $.99
This program you might want to test without it first.I seem to be able to kill
the app on my phone and still connect just fine.
WiFi Tether <-----Tested it with this one others might work not sure.
For the purpose of making it easy program on your phone the SSID as
androidtether with the key being 0123456789012
There is a way to edit this but I want to keep it simple.
Next on your Tablet you will need the to install a program called gscript.
This is a free program from the market place.
Once you have done all this the next step is to download the zip file below
Extract the zip file and mount your sdcard on your tablet.
Inside the zip there is folder called gscript place this on the sdcard.
Inside the zip there is 5 files.The adhoc.sh and normal.sh have to stay within the gscript folder.
The other 3 files are named
wpa_supplicant.conf
wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc
wpa_supplicant.conf.normal
These need to be pushed to /data/misc/wifi
I would recommend using droid explorer and then you can just paste them into
the correct directory.
Once you have this done then open gscript and click the menu button
choose add script The first one I named adhoc and then make sure that needs su is checked. Once this is done choose load file and choose the adhoc.sh file
click on save. Now Do the same steps over but this time when choosing load file choose normal.sh then click save.
Now on the desktop press and hold choose shortcuts and goto gscripts then choose one of the ones that you saved.Repeat this but choose the other one that you created.
One thing I have noticed about this is that it's more than likely best to turn the WiFi off when switching between the 2 types of networks. When switching I also noticed that sometimes it takes a little longer for it to connect to the networks.
Hope this works for everyone.
I'm not having any luck with this fix. I am using a Windows Mobile Phone Touch Pro 2 that has WIFI router installed on it. I noticed that you are using a 13 digit key "0123456789012" where as the windows mobile phone only allows for a 10 digit key with the default of "1234567890". I modified the wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc to have just the "1234567890" key, but when I choose the adhoc script on the tablet, the wifi (androidtether connection) says obtaining ip address, and then eventually says unable to obtain IP. Is there a way to set a static IP in the WPA supplicant, or force this connection to work? Also I notices that network type is set to auto. My phone uses WEP. I wonder if this is the problem??? Is there a way to force the network type in whe wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc to have a network type of WEP.
Any help you can provide would be appreciated!!!
By the way, I can tether just fine from any Windows laptop to my phone, so I know the phone is not the problem.

Not sure how much difference it will be for a windows mobile phone compared to android so it might have issues. I had this same issue before getting the
HydTech's adhoc wifi installed on my phone not sure what it does but was told to use it. I can kill it and still get it to connect.
Hi, this directory "/data/misc/wifi/" is on your SD card right?
I tryed on my MID7015.
It kept saying: stderr: /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf.
adhoc: No such file or directory

no this is a directory on the system.
the directory that needs to be on the sdcard is the gscript.
from the cmd prompt you have to go to the sdk
example === C:\android\android-sdk-windows\tools
then type
adb push wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi
adb push wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc /data/misc/wifi
adb push wpa_supplicant.conf.normal /data/misc/wifi
This should fix the issue
Sorry, I am new to this.. I just got my Coby today... How do you go to command pompt? I try to just drop the file on system using the explorer to /data/ and say I don't have enough permission.
I guess I have to install that SDK?

Ok I fallowed you guide to the T but I can not see my htc hero on my tablet. My laptop sees it but not my tablet. Help me out. I placed the files in the correct dirctories but no go. My tablet is rooted with z4root temp root a my apps that need root wotk fine, but i cant get this to work. Iam on Android 2.1 on both the tablet and my hero.
You know.. I gave up! After screwing around for hours... I lost my wifi on my pad. It say can not scan for wifi...
I was so freaked out! Finally I hold the Power button and the Home Button on power up. Then hit "Reset and erase all users data". I was managed to get my WiFi back....
Screw it! I can't freaking believe they don't have Ad-Hoc on android! I didn't know until I brought this thing!
I believe Android 2.2 support it? When or will we ever going to get this??? Or someone out there can made an application for this...... it will made our life easier!!

Ok so you did install Gscript and have both the adhoc.sh and normal.sh in the gscripts folder on the sdcard correct? If so then in the program gscripts
you added the scripts into there I am guessing. If this is the case then
You can do the shortcuts like I explained or you can open the gscript program and click either adhoc or normal. Also did you try it with the hydtech adhoc.
I can not find the HydTech's adhoc wifi in the market Place. I guess without that one the tiwlan.ini is going to be missing. Am I right? I just want ot tether from my IPHONE 3Gs to the COBY KYROS. Do I need the TIWLAN.INI ?
tether
I too would like to be able to tether it with my iphone i know i should have got a droi phone but we were already stuck with an atnt contract
on my tablet i don't have the misc or misc/wifi folders in the data folder...should i create them?

Try Root Explorer. It will show folders that other apps will not.
OK...this was a great learning experience, but without payoff
I rooted my device...gave gscript lite to run as su...copied the conf, adhoc and normal files to the /system/data/misc/wifi folder using adb push commands...modified the adhoc and normal files using droid explorer...and lost ability to connect to any wireless network
deleted the wpa_supplicant.conf file using adb shell and reconfigured my wireless router
thought..hmmm...maybe if i use the .conf file droid automagically created it will all work...bump bump bum...DOH!
deleted the wpa_supplicant.conf file using adb shell and reconfigured my wireless router
BACK WHERE I STARTED WITH NO ADHOC WIFI
Anyone having an issue with Droid Explorer not seeing your tablet? I even followed the steps Droid Explorer provides in the youtube video.
Edit* I was able to copy the files using Root Explorer, but now when clicking Load File in gscript it doesn't list any .sh files.
Edit #2* Okay, I didn't put the .sh files in the gscript folder that is why they didn't show up.
Edit #3* I think I'm just an idiot, but after everything is installed and now I try to turn on wi-fi, it turns on for a split second, then turns itself off.

Just wanted to let everyone know I got this working with WMWifiRouter. It appears my Media Net connection on the Kaiser was configured to use a proxy server (wish I had written down what was cause now its gone). Anyway...there is a setting in WMWifiRouter to enable proxy use. Checked that guy and off I went. Now I've cleared the proxy settings in both the Media Net configuration and the WMWifiRouter. It works...but drains the battery bad Anyone know how to tether a droid 2.2 tablet to a wm6.1 Kaiser on ATT network using a usb cable or bluetooth dun?

I've been using WmWiFiRouter, though I have a Touch Pro 2. I can't get this working at all. If I try connecting without modifications, it won't connect to IBSS (ad-hoc) connections. If I use the scripts above, it turns Wifi on, then right back off again, or errors in scanning. What did you do differently? Are you using a Coby MID7015?

I am using a Witstech A81E running Android Froyo 2.2. Sorry if I've posted in the wrong forum
But I did use the scripts attached in the zip file in the original post to get mine working. You have to make sure to change the SSID to match your WMWifiRouter SSID. For testing, use the default "WMWifiRouter". Here is what my wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc file looks like
ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/system/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wifi
update_config=1
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="WMWifiRouter"
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=1
wep_key0=1234567890
priority=20
}

I also had to enable using a proxy in the WMWifiRouter configuration. You have to start up the 3G -> Wifi router first. Then select Options -> Configuration -> Advanced. Then select Profiles -> DNS -> Enable Proxy and set the Enable Domain Name Resolution Proxy setting to Enable.
That's what worked for me
