I'm wondering if anyone might have suggestions on getting AdHoc Wifi working. I got a new phone that currently only supports adhoc for wifi tether. I can tether it to vista and win7 laptops fine, but the Transformer never sees it in wifi.
I've dug through the thread and can't seem to find any info on getting it to work besides waiting for it to pop into the list.
I've never used ad hoc before as my previous EVO supported infrastructure mode.
Any help would be great.
What version of Honeycomb are u running ??
IIRC, all Prime versions supports Ad-hoc wifi , before 1.7 a modified wpa_supplicant was used, after that Asus have natively support Ad-hoc wifi

That's really strange. I just tested with Prime 1.9.1 connecting to my Android phone android wifi tether (ad hoc mode) and everything is working as expected.
Maybe you have a bad flash ? Why not u try wiping cache and dalvik reboot and try. If still fail, do a reflash and try.
Good luck !
No problems with mine using the tether on on htc evo running synergy..

I was using the Haykuro builds but since 1.5, the wifi is not that great.
What is anyone using sucessfully with 1.5?
i use wifi tether for root and have no complaints
Flash attached zip in recovery to gain working Netflix. Requires latest version of the Netflix app. Only tested on Honeycomb 3.1 (Prime 1.5). I can't swear this won't cause unforeseen problems....use at your own peril.
Note: The original file is renamed to .bak just in case!
Latest Netflix is 1.3 build 246
APK: http://www.multiupload.com/XTEWL8CLCZ
Technical details:
Stole libnvomx.so from a Xoom 3.1 ROM and pushed to /system/lib/ on my Transformer. Duh.
If you prefer, you can manually place the file using Root Explorer or another file manager.
Like your Netflix with some auto-rotation in the mornings? The color red make you angry? Well, Dblfstr has just the app for you!

I can confirm this is working!!! Nice work man!
Works beautifully, thanks again!
is there a way to flash this zip without bing rooted?
**realized this was a stupid question after asking my mistake
YES, it works! AWESOME. You rock bro.
Edit- Oh yeah, I am on Prime 1.6 with clemsyn's latest kernel.
also confirmed working here on Prime 1.5 w/ clemsyn's version 17.
Pop's Ipad2 just lost the last advantage it had over my Transformer, thanks! :

I just noticed it doing it on my dell streak 7 (his same patch worked for that too!)
but in all fairness my tablet was syncing data (just factory reset it so it's downloading tons of ****) I thought it was that causing it. I will check on my TF to see if it's out of sync as well
edit: sound is synced fine on my TF.
Not meaning to sound ungrateful, but Microsoft Security Essential keeps blocking this download as a known unsafe file?
Hahaha hell yeah... Unsafe? Who cares? Thanks man!

Just to clarify; the audio was not synced while using "Pure root 8.4.4.5" but is synced using Prime 1.5.
I want to use a 3g dongle in a rooted tf101 with stock ics , where can i find 3g libs/driver ? How to activate mobile network ? I read about on custom roms you can use a 3g dongle ... but i want to used on stock ics ... on 3.2.1 worked with the help of gnufabio & roach2010 app.
Thank you.

I'm not sure that it's been dev'd for stock ICS, you may have to go with a stock based ROM like ARHD or Revolver. The dongle will work though, with proper drivers.
ok the point is that i want to use 3g dongle but without loose may data , to wipe/clear before use a custom rom, i could write it over current stock but is risky for loosing data and FC ... and a backup don't satisfy my needs for the moment.
i'm open to new suggestions.
thanks

I've been trying a few JellyBean roms and they work quite smoothly I must say
but one feature that is still missing for me is the hability to connect to adhoc networks just like in old modded ICS roms.
I've patched and recompiled Team EOS3 wpa_supplicant that allows to see adhoc networks.
(although it should be the same source for other JB roms most likely too)
Unfortunately using Roach's default kernel it still doesn't list adhoc networks,
by using Guevor's kernel V23-JB-EOS it is able to list them.
However it is timing-out while trying to connect to it. :\
I'm not sure, but it might be related to the wifi module that comes with the rom / kernels.
If anyone knows what else should be changed in order to get it to work, feel free to contribute
It'd be nice to get it working on JB again
If you want to give it a try and report what works or doesn't work with each rom / kernel combination of your choice, I've attached the modified wpa_supplicant.
To test:
- turn off wifi
- su and remount /system rw
- mv /system/bin/wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant.ori
- gunzip the file
- cp wpa_supplicant /system/bin/
- chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
- turn wifi back on.
If you want to switch back to the previous wpa_supplicant:
- turn off wifi
- mv /system/bin/wpa_supplicant.ori /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
- turn on wifi

I know this is for Transformer so my post is pretty off topic, but this actually is the first modified wpa_supp that allows me to turn on wifi again on Nexus S with stock JB. Unfortunately it doesn't show me ad hoc network either
The only ICS ROM that works in adhoc mode for me is Revolver. I have tried Guevor and Harmnony kernels and they both work. I wish I knew more to help the cause. Ricardopvz started to work with me to fix this in Megatron but he got sidetracked and never continued. I suppose someone could look at the driver in Revolver to see how that one works and see if the changes can be ported to JB.
Adhoc tethering is important to me because my old Droid-1 can't tether to my tablet in infrastructure mode. Bluetooth tethering is slow and inconvenient. Thanks for carrying the flag on this. I will try to help with the testing.

Ah yeah, glad it could help still
I don't think wpa_supplicant is much different from rom to rom, so good to know that one works on Nexus S too.
Next is to figure out what might be missing either in the rom or in the wifi module or such...

I have the same problem with my Nokia phone, it can only do adhoc network for sharing its 3G connection.
I can connect fine through it with bluetooth from a PC too, but android is not able to see the modem through bluetooth unfortunately.
So I definitely need adhoc to work
Maybe Ricardopvz or someone could participate for the JB roms if they have an idea what to modify next, I can have a look too.
I'll have a look in what could be changed in the BCM wifi driver in the meantime.
This makes the RaymanFX CM10 ROM see ad-hoc's but timeout on connect. Hope someone will fix this as ad-hoc is kind of necessary for me
theres a few things that have to in place for ad-hoc connections to work. just modifying the wpa_supplicant is not the answer. first the linux kernel on your device has to have CONFIG_NETFILTER, CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES, and CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_MAC features. These are required for tethering (ad-hoc) to work in linux/android. also binaries like iwconfig will need to be included. ad hoc connections from droid to droid are sketchy and flaky because there are so many different kernels, wireless cards, and third party apps on so many different devices. I see why so many people dont like to use bluetooth tethering. typical cellular data service data transfer rates are much slower than the theoretical limits of Bluetooth, making the potential higher bandwidth of WiFi irrelevant.
these are the theoretical maximum speeds for various Bluetooth versions
Bluetooth Basic Rate (BR) 1Mbit/s
Bluetooth 2 Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) 2-3Mbit/s
Bluetooth 3 + HS (high Speed) 24MBit/s
So on the face of it, Wifi will normally give you a faster connection however the limitation is probably going to be the speed of your phone's data connection.

Well, what I'm trying to achieve here is connect to an existing adhoc network which would already be doing the NAT, so you wouldn't need any of that on the client tablet.
Android doesn't use iwconfig by default.
Netfilter/iptables support would be in cases you'd in addition want to share your internet connection through the tablet.
For connecting to an existing adhoc network, it mostly boils down to wpa_supplicant and the kernel wifi driver, and maybe some android-space process
But seeing that it times-out while trying to connect even by using directly wpa_cli commands, that should eliminate the android space process from the loop.
That should leave only wpa_supplicant and the wifi driver.

Didnt break the wifi card, but everything acted like the original file. No ad-hoc.

Hi,
I am using EOS3 rom (4.1.1) on my TF101 now.
Looking for a newer rom (preferably 4.1.2) with 3G usb modem support.
Can I get some suggestions ?
Also, I'd like to test 3G modem support on the current rom if possible before changing rom. How can I test that ?
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
try ppp widget from play store
I am not looking for a widget, but a rom.

no rom has the support
really ?
I've heard that at least 4.0 roms have it, and with a correct kernel, 4.1 roms may have it.
is that wrong ?
Part of the issue is that the TF101G never made it beyond 4.0, so native support may never get there until the TF101G gets 4.1.X.
But, I guess I don't understand the issue with using pppwidget to get 3G functionality with a ROM vs having it baked into the ROM.
I have no problem with using pppwidget. It's ok; I already tried it on my current rom.
The thing is, I am also looking for a new rom. So just suggest me a new rom and I'll use it with pppwidget.
Also, I believe, there should be ROMs that support 3G because on several Android tablets (like Ainol), I see the 3G connectivity settings to use with a 3G modem.
So it shouldn't be hard to integrate if it's not already included in CM10 ?

the last rom to have support was megatron ICS. None since then. no combination of kernel or whatever can make it work past ics unless the devs specifically work on it.
thank you. that's clear now.

For example sending and receiving SMS is not working with pppwidget. It is with 3g in Rom (like Megatron).
Also 3g watchdog not reconizing 3G traffic with pppwidget as 3g.
