The Wifi Direct Certificate can be found here
What is it....Wi-Fi Direct, formerly known as Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer, is a set of software protocols that allow Wi-Fi devices to talk to each other without the need for wireless access points (hot spots).
Cool.
Yes it is cool, especially if you have the device listed in the pdf.
Product: GT-I9000
Model/SKU #: GT-I9000/
It's gonna be awesome!!! When will it actually be ready to use??
The I897 model is awesome supported
I am starting this thread because i found that after all this long time of waiting an improvement from Android guys from Google regarding a complete UI for connecting to the miscellaneous WiFi configurations nothing comes out.
I consider my thread android development related, but if the mods want to move it please do it.
I am not a developer but I'm a user which wants all the cake not just a bite.
I am referring to special type of WiFi connections which wpa_supplicant is capable like:
"
EAP-TLS
EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)
EAP-PEAP/TLS (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)
EAP-PEAP/GTC (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)
EAP-PEAP/OTP (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)
EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)
EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP
EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS
EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP
EAP-TTLS/PAP
EAP-TTLS/CHAP
EAP-SIM
EAP-AKA
EAP-AKA'
EAP-PSK
EAP-FAST
EAP-PAX
EAP-SAKE
EAP-IKEv2
EAP-GPSK
LEAP (note: requires special support from the driver)"
This is copied from here http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/
Seems that we have the gun and the bullets but we don't have the trigger.
This idea come to me when i was struggling connecting to my work WiFi and never succeeded, phones like Symbian or Windows based laughed into my phone's face (and i think that is not correct, considering it frustrating).
My proposal to all the devs from XDA is to build a new app and wpa_supplicant with all drivers and stuff which will be able to help us connecting very easy to all kind of WiFi methods.
PS: My work network configuration for windows is like this:
SSID, CKIP LEAP, username, domain, password.
Hidden WiFi: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1041
LEAP WiFi: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1871 ; http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1386
Ad-Hoc WiFi: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82
Devices that are capable to connect on my work WiFi network:
Symbian V3 (Nokia N8)
Windows Mobile 6.5 (HTC Diamond)
Devices that are not capable to connect on my work WiFi network:
Android (HTC Desire HD and Samsung Galaxy S I)
iOS 4 (iPhone 3Gs)
iOS 5 (iPod)
Blackbery (Curve 8900)
============================================================
Update: 29/11/2011
After a 2-3 weeks of Google-ing I think that i found the gap with LEAP:
How you can see above LEAP - requires special support from the driver and i found a Linux driver which says like this:
2086 // CCX 1 spec v1.13, A01.1 CKIP Negotiation (page23):
2087 // "A Cisco access point advertises support for CKIP in beacon and probe response packets,
2088 // by adding an Aironet element and setting one or both of the CKIP negotiation bits."
2089 if( (info_element->data[IE_CISCO_FLAG_POSITION]&SUPPORT_CKIP_MIC) ||
2090 (info_element->data[IE_CISCO_FLAG_POSITION]&SUPPORT_CKIP_PK) )
Source:http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/staging/rtl8192e/ieee80211/ieee80211_rx.c
My work WiFi require CKIP Encryption so this is root cause for me to not be able to connect to LEAP.
Currently broadcom support: 802.1x; WEP, WEP2, WPA, WPA2 (Personal) TKIP and AES hardware acceleration 802.11i. When "broadcom" will release compatible drivers, we will be able to connect. Until then, all users that are in my situation will better get an alternative.
http://pdf.eccn.com/pdfs/Datasheets/Broadcom/BCM4329.pdf
http://os1a.cs.columbia.edu/lxr/source/drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/wl_iw.c
So next remaining thing will be a "Complete UI" release for android which offers all type of connections.
================================================================================================
Update: 07/12/2011
In my craziness to find a solution to my problem regarding connection to work corporate WiFi, I found the missing link (in my opinion) between android and Linux capability to access CKIP encrypted networks: http://o2droid.phj.hu/trac/browser/kern_oII/drivers/staging/rt2860/sta/assoc.c . It is about a special characteristic that allow connections to Aironet access points with CCX (CISCO Compatible Extensions).
================================================================================================

I need a port from Dell Streak to HTC DHD
I searched Google again and i found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...62&postcount=1 here is a file listed "system/etc/wlan/sdio-g-cdc-reclaim-idsup-wme-pktfilter-keepalive-aoe-toe-ccx-wapi.bin" and with a F3 in Total Commander contain this:
"NONE WEP1 TKIP WEP128 AES_CCM AES_OCB_MSDU AES_OCB_MPDU CKIP CKIP_MMH WEP_MMH" and
"ccx_auth_mode"
The file is in the Streaksmi.zip which is miui for dell streak that has bcm4325 chipset.

Flash [ROM][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightlies / M-Series [RC5] and say many thanks to Mustaavalkosta !!! - Tested working build: cm-10.1-20130709-UNOFFICIAL-ace.zip
I too have issues with wifi sometimes, but I found using miui and connecting, inputting the password and then using the individual settings to input a manual IP and all that seems to work.
Sorry if I've misunderstood

So what is different between MIUI and a usual Android system?
No idea apart from that it keeps the individual settings separately so you don't have to input manually every time you need to change, but it seems to be the only thing that works for all the networks I use.

Is it capable to connect with Ad-Hoc type of networks too?
And the answer is "Yes", wpa_supplicant from MIUI is capable to connect to Ad-Hoc networks.
Not sure what your problem connecting might be. At uni, we have EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2, and I can connect fine, and connect any android phones that come in fine aswell. We use a program called xpressconnect, but can do it manually too.

I have an application on my laptop that makes a network from it (like a router) which I've always assumed used ad-hoc and it's always connected fine to that so yeah I assume so =)
Old Leedroid ROMs used to work too if you wanted sense, but they were back in August-ish time
Already tried manual config

Before i start this thread i tried several combination of configurations, I buyed even Advanced Leap WiFi from market and nothing. This problem is not from configuration because, like I said windows mobile and symbian is piece of cake to connect.
My connection is hidden ssid. After I put my credentials configured with leap, another network with same name but with WEP security appears, saying connecting...disconnected.
Update
I just tried MIUI and conclusions are:
1) Ad-Hoc is connectible (but stock android with a modified(patched) wpa_supplicant is capable to connect to Ad-Hoc too).
2) LEAP is still doing Connecting....Disconnected.
3) MIUI has a file named "/system/bin/wpa_cli" which stock didn't have it.

For number 2 try manually inputting a static ip, dns, gateway and netmask =)
Must be something which makes the difference

Thanks for the tip, I will try tomorrow. But what is the catch? What makes WM and Symbian better than Android when is about connecting to a LEAP network?
So you'd like other people to build an app for you?
Learn how to code!
All android comunity will thank to the courageous developer who will create the tweak

Why do you say "YOU"? Is not just me, is the whole android community that has lack of what i said in the thread. The work that will be done by a skilled developer from here will be used in the future by all androiders.
All the info and opinions that will be wrote in here will help the "courageous developer" to build the Complete WiFi UI.
My experience with the WiFi will help others to connect on similar networks.
In my opinion this is true development: trying to reach the impossible, or not yet possible, or not yet known.
I think is at last 1 developer in here which knows very good the WiFi protocols and can give us a hint.
For us (the ordinary users) is very difficult to start now learn coding in android and network protocols, because will last at least six months of staying in codes to get the idea of coding.
Compiling in android OS

I checked your thread and is says nothing about compiling in Android OS. In my opinion this is the root cause of not fully working WiFi connectivity. With a proper .conf file of latest wpa_supplicant i think that the issue will become history.
Logcat and new tests
Hello again,
I've made some new tests and I found ......... nothing.
The thread with steps that i followed is this: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8804
Hi,
currently I am in area were 3g internet is cheapest way to internet especially when you buy big packages (fyi New Zealand). So I am sharing my connection with others via mobile AP - tethering. I need some app which can monitor traffic of connected devices. I mean information for example that device with name "xxx" ip "192.168.x.x." and MAC "ff:ff:fff...." has downloaded and uploaded 256 MB etc. Alternatively can be useful application which can set limits to devices. I tried a lot of apps but so far nothing. Do you know about something?
Thank a lot
Hi,
I am writing an wifi tether app where in we want to read total 802.11 packet (i.e. including 802.11 header) to application space and forward these packets to different gateways through LTE based on some criteria. Can you please suggest me if we can we do this without root privileges using onboard WIFI chipset on galaxy nexus(Verizon) phone?
Only method I know is writing a kernel module to hijack the packets from bcm4330 driver and handover to application. This requires kernel compilation and hence rooting the device. Any suggestions/comments or ideas on this idea?
Thanks In Advance.
Thanks,
ponugoti
With FreetzMobil you could control various features of Freetz. You could query the state of the memory, swap, mounted devices and log files. Also you could view the status of the daemons and change it. The internet connection could be reestablished and the box coul be rebooted.
Newest features: Status of SMARTmontools, OpenVPN and ppp-cgi, diversions, telephone answering machine, alarm clock, ring blocker, wlan (guest, 2.4 & 5 GHz), Lan4-guest, dect, capi, USB remote access, mediaserver, ftp-server, samba, night timer.
This app contains English and German localisations.
Requirements
You need a Fritz!Box by AVM which uses a firmware based on version 1.2, 2.0(rc) or trunk of Freetz.
The security level "0" has to be set, see http://tiny.cc/a4qzcw
The connection uses the Freetz web interface, which runs mostly at port 81. To use FreetzMobil via the internet you have to forware this Port and use DynDNS. To set up this forwarding use the AVM-Firewall: http://tinyurl.com/5whw56r
Speed
The processing speed depens on many facotrs. First the connection: UMTS has a higher latency than local WLAN. Also the Fritz Box itself could slow down. A FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7170 has a crucial slower cpu and only a quarter of memory than a AVM FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7390.
DONATE: If you encrypt the connection with SSL (via stunnel or lighttpd) it will a bit more slower.
Donation
No self-promotion in the app.
Access cia encrypted HTTPS is available
More than 2 devices could be created
You support this app and further development!
Play Store: http://tinyurl.com/k2d57sd
Changelog: http://tinyurl.com/ktzhcl3 (Google Tranlator bar on the top)
Included translations are german and english.
My personal intension to create this app:
I didn't like to use the Freetz web interface on my small cell phone. So i wrote this app
