My guess he's not looking for that
but the opposite
Ad-hoc to a Laptop Wifi and use the Laptop Shared internet

i've tried using the wpa_supplcant from the "Oxygen v2.0-RC7 for desire" and it worked fine.
Attached you can find the file you need to do it.

Is that a flashable?
Sent from 1.5GHz CM7 Nexus S.

No, it isn't.
You need to extract the wpa_supplicant file and put it into the sdcard root folder.
The commands are the following:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/bin/
cp wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant-ori (backup for rollback)
cp /sdcard/wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant
p.s. Requirement:
Phone is rooted
Android SDK 2.3 on your computer

CyanogenMod Alpha 2 is pretty stable, and flashing it will allow you to easily connect to ad-hoc networks without any hassle. It's great for me since I use my Droid to provide wi-fi to it.

Thanks for this.
Wonder if it will work with 2.3.3?

i have backup wpa_supplicant (oroginal, nexus s - i9023)

What do you do after you get wpa_supplicant file swapped? Does it work automatically?
And at this point, how do you remove the old wpa_supplicant file? Because it keeps on saying it's read only I can't do anything to it. And there's no cp command in android shell. Please advise. Thanks.

Okay I got the wpa_supplicant file to work.
Now my question is how to get wpa_cli? Does anyone have this file? Or is this file create from wpa_supplicant? I want to be able to manually create a network rather than rely on my laptop to create ad-hoc network.
Thanks.

Rooted Nexus S?
Hello,
I have a Nokia N8 and have an app to set my phone as a wifi hot spot. My wife's phone cannot see it, but Iphones, Nokias, Laptops and desktops can find it.
Her phone is a Samsung Nexus S, carrier Mobilicity and I think Android 2.3.x
To use any of the apps posted - do I need to 'root' the phone? Currently it is not rooted.
And how do I do that? Or do I need to?
(yes, I watched the hateful video and feel like a loser)

[FIX] Wifi wpa_supplicant not connecting to 802.1x EAP TTLS PAP networks

My institution's wireless network is secured with 802.1x WPA2-Enterprise (TTLS PAP) and with every captivate froyo rom I tried, the wireless connection could not get past authentication (other types of wifi security work fine). Turns out this is an issue with wpa_supplicant v 6.10 (code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8804) and a workaround I do is use the wpa_supplicant v 6.9 from the stock Eclair rom or v 5.11 from a couple of the HTC roms and they seem to work fine.
The attached zip file is just the binary file, which goes in /system/bin. I do not know how to make it a Clockworkmod flashable update file, if someone can help that'd be great.
someone else already made one for us...here you go.
i will be incorporating this into the next update of andromeda, assuming the testing goes well.
thanks!

More or less desperately searching for a solution, so I will just ask in here:
Will this patch work on a Desire with running the following:
Android 2.3.3, Leedroid 3.0.6 (Gingerbread)?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
Great job, works!

I'm on this for the whole evening now, so forgive if it's a stupid question, but can i use any of this on my rooted SE Arc (Gingerbread 2.3.2.)?
I know i only need the wpa.supplicant to replace in system/bin but when i try to extract your zip i get an error and a zero bites file.
tx in advance for your reply!

download with a pc then it works
Ok, created a ad-hoc network with my laptop and tried to connect to it with my Nexus S (after I flashed the patch) and it founds the network but can't connect to it... says "Obtaining IP..." for a minute or two and then shows "Disconnected".
I'm using SupeAosp 8.2 ROM (Android 2.3.4)

Didn't work on AOSP Android 2.3.4 ROM - WiFi stopped finding networks completely.
If it helps, I flashed SupeAosp 2.3.4 ROM and it worked. not sure if it's the script or the ROM feature as it known to have the Ad Hoc fix already installed...

Just out of curiosity, did you Root your device? If yes, did you use a WI-FI only image? If you have not Rooted your device, maybe give some more information on the device specs to allow us to help you out even more?
Yes my Xoom is rooted. I'm using Tiamat 2.0 Rom and Tiamat Tachi Kernal

I am guessing you used this forum for the Download of your ROM for your tablet -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146153 -- and while reading it, I noticed that there are many times that solarnz says things like:
Version 2.0
Rebased off the 3.2 wifi image.
3G Support on Android 3.2
sdcard is now at /mnt/external1 and is viewable via MTP
Any application that can write to /sdcard can now write to /mnt/external1
usbOTG drives now mount at /mnt/usbOTG and act identically to the sdcard.
Now comes with the Katana 2.0 stock GPU kernel.
/MicroSD and /usbOTG synlinks to their respective locations in /mnt
Automatically modprobe all kernel modules, apart from the wireless module.
New wallpaper & charging icons
And this gives me the impression that you are maybe using a 3G Verizon Version of the ROM. I would suggest that if this is the case, you should change your ROM to a WI-FI only ROM. You obtained the Update when Verizon pushed out their latest update for the 3.1 ROMs.
Please Correct me if I am wrong on the specs of your device and I will help you as much as I can... I, too, have a Wi-Fi only Xoom tablet and just recently rooted it from 3.2 Stock From The Box to 3.2 Stock Root using this method -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170760 -- and has been working for me in the last 48 hours
I hope I helped you some, and if I did not, please let me know and I will still try and help you till the problem is fixed (or someone will come in and help )
Thank you very much!!! I didn't think I would be able to get that update cause I have WiFi only Xoom. I thought that OTA update from Verizon was over 3G or 4G network. I'll check out the link you used. I'm not too good at this. I just know how to flash roms, kernals, and themes. I paid someone to root my Xoom. Since my Xoom is rooted can I just flash a WiFi only rom or do I have to follow all the steps on 2nd link u posted?

You are quite welcome ^_^... The stupid OTA updates for Verizon push out over wifi and (have been a vain in my dev rooted phones that do not have verizon accounts attached to them) haha!
You should be able to push a rom following the steps on the forums if you have Clockwork's ROM Manager (FREE in the market place) and TRUE Super User Access (AKA Super User App to test this out). All you need to do is place a few files in certain locations and wala, you have a WI-FI only Rom installed and ready for you to use ( I would note, that you should back up your apps and files and such on the internal memory, JUST in case you want your information that you have on it now again heh...) There are many apps for the bookmarks and such if you need that kind of backing up, but make sure that you do not leave anything you can't live without on the internal memory So All I need to say now is that IF you do have Rom Manager, and IF you do have True Super User on the device, then you should be good to go if you have the WI-FI only ROM that is needed to flash the Xoom Tablet (Please look for ClockWork ROM Manager tutorials to help you with SUCH and make sure you have a stable Rom (aka looking at comments) that you want to try out ^_^!!!)
I wish you the best and the fastest way of fixing your problem, and tell your friend he needs to note a Wi-Fi only tablet ROM is not the same as a 3g tablet ROM hehe!

I paid for this app and have been using it for months on a Samsung Galaxy S3, however I updated to 4.3 and the APP runs on my phone but fails to connect on my pc. Are there any updated ADB rivers for 4.3? I have also run this app on other android devices without any trouble and its worked fine. Thanks in advance guys, any help with this will be very much appreciated

[Q] Anyone else having problems with WiFi Direct?

I have a rooted evita running 1.73 with stock HTC sense. I also have an unlocked and rooted Nexus 7 tablet. I am unable to share files using WiFi Direct. I can connect fine but can't find the WiFi Direct option when trying to share from say, gallery. I have looked on Google and others seems to have this problem, but no solution is offered. I've looked here and can't find a suitable thread. Does anyone here know why this isn't working?
Update: Since I've started using CM 10, I've had no problems.

youo can use tibackp also to look for it in the system.
