I have rooted both my Samsung Replenish and my Acer A500, installed the Wifi Tether AND the Wireless Tether apps, tried both, but my A500 did not recognize them at all.
So, in rooting around I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033314
Which has a modified wpa_supplicant file.
I downloaded it,
turned off wifi,
unzipped it,
and using Root Explorer, renamed the old wpa_supplicant in the /system/bin/ folder,
then copied the modified wpa_supplicant to that same folder,
changed the permissions on the modified file to 755 (rwxr-xr-x),
rebooted my A500,
re-enabled wifi, and there it was.
I was able to connect and browse just fine.
There is another modified wpa_supplicant file that you can dl and try (I have not): http://www.android.net/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=40

I rooted Captivate succesfully, but still am not able to edit etc/hosts file. Tried various file explorer and terminal (pulling,editing ok, but does not let me push it back). Any ideas?
[REQ] please post wpa_supplicant file from transformer
I am trying to find a copy of the wpa_supplicant file from the transformer to see if it will work on the xoom. My xoom by default doesn't show or connect to ad-hoc networks but with a modified wpa _supplicant file it can. I noticed that a stock transformer could connect to my ad-hoc network so I want to try it on my xoom.
All you need is to be rooted and have a file manager that can remount system files. Root explorer is my favorite but if you don't have it or don't want to buy it es file explorer will work for free. Navigate to system/bin and copy the wpa_supplicant and post it back to this thread. Pretty easy... Thanks in advance.
This is not development

It absolutely is.
I am developing a mod to add ad-hoc connectivity to the xoom. I just don't have the source file from the transformer.

This is not development for the Asus Transformer. Therefore it should be in Q&A. Moving there.
I want to replace wpa_supplicant in system/bin inside of the Update.zip file of a full package Not OTA 3.2 with a copy of wpa_supplicant (Backup from prior version) that adds ad_hoc wifi to the acer Iconia A500
Then Zip it back up and Reinstall, Will that work ?
Thanks
UPDATE: If you still have problems with ad-hoc networks try euroskank's latest CM9 build. It's recognizing ad-hoc networks without problems. I've not tried Quarx builds but they should be fixed aswell
Well, I saw many people asking for it and though it's a known fix, it doesn't comes bad a tread about it.
It's a very simple fix. As CM7 has a working connectivity to adhoc nets all u have to do is to copy the file /system/bin/wpa_supplicant from a CM7 rom and replace the same file in the folder in CM9 ROM. It's an easy job if you are running a double boot CM7/CM9.
If that doesn't work, you can also try in addition to the previous step, get the file /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and replace it in the same folder under CM9. I'd recommend before doing this, to connect effectively to the adhoc net. That will save the SSID in the .conf file.
If not, you can create a new connection under settings>wifi using the desired SSID and try.
For those who don't have a dual boot with CM7 here are my files and you can try something with them (there's already a SSID named wifi win, if u cant make it work, try to rename your PC SSID to wifi win)
Well, hope this can help somebody, suggestion and advises are welcome
when I tried replacing wpa_supplicant from CM7 to CM9, it didn't work.
will try with config file later on as I am on MIUI now.
Try it and tell me, it worked to me
Don't forget to open Terminal Emulator and type:
su
chmod +x /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
I accidentally renamed sh file in system/bin/ to sh1, and then I rebooted my Galaxy Tap 2 7.0 P3113. Now I can't rename it to sh back.
And My device isn't rooted anymore. I don't know what should I do. I can't even connect WIFI.
Do you have a backup of the system partition?
Easier Way is to flash Stock with odin, If you don`t have a system backup
Wait! Use Aroma File Manager to rename it in recovery!
