[JB] wpa_supplicant for adhoc wifi networks - Eee Pad Transformer Android Development
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.
With the file i can see the ad-hoc networks around but can not connect them...

Adhoc tethering question
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

[Kernel] Nothing Special - CM7 - 2.6.32.55 - Advanced Routing Feature for VPN
This is just the stock cm gingerbread kernel with some advanced routing features turned on to help with certain VPN connections. MOST LIKELY YOU DO NOT NEED OR WANT THIS. I made this for me, but offer to you just in case somebody else actually wants it. None of the work is mine, I just compiled a Cyanogenmod kernel and changed two settings in the config. If thanks goes out, give it to the right people, not me. This has only been tested on the last Cyanogenmod Gingerbread nightly (11162011) Changes to the .config include... CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES=y CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH=y The purpose is to help VPN connections stay open longer. No support will be given, flash at your own risk.

Thank you. This appears to address one issue I was having. I use a VPN daily for my business.
Hi there, Thanks for the information. This has helped a long standing problem with Cisco VPN client for Android. Do you know if these can be compiled as modules at all, like: CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES=m CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH=m I'm trying to see if they can be compiled as insert-able kernel modules that can be inserted into stock kernel. Or do they need to be compiled into the kernel. Which would mean that we have a flash a new kernel?

Android-wifi-tether on the paranoid android rom
Hi all, So I'm running the Paranoid Android JB rom from the android development section. All is well, aside from tethering. The tethering built in to the rom works fine but _only_ when I have the wifi in non-secure mode (no wifi password). Also, android-wifi-tether doesn't work at all (even with the different profile changes as suggested elsewhere). I suppose insecure wifi is usable for now, but has anyone had any luck with the combination above? Thanks.

Thank you so much, this is the best rom for this phone (the only working cyanogen).

I live in Alaska and have GCI as a carrier... when I alter my cdma apn info, everything works up to the point I want to change my MCC and MNC... it's defaulting to 310 and 012 respectively. When I leave those values alone it saves the apn... when I alter them, the apn entry disappears! How can I fix this? I I need it to be 311 and 370 but can't get it to save my apn. If this never works, I don't care, I wil continue using this rom without mobile internet or mms downloads... it's just that good.

Click to collapse The .35 kernel works fine for CM10.0 but I'm having some issues booting cm10.1 with the .35 kernel because of some graphics memory allocation issues. The main issue is that there are a few issues that can't be fully fixed without the 3.0 kernel such as the camera/camcorder, ION support, etc (which is WIP here: http://review.evervolv.com/#/c/6609/ ). I have already tried probing for the UART TX/RX pins on the lexikon motherboard with a bus pirate but I have not found anything to date. I ordered a micro usb breakout board yesterday for USB UART debugging and am going to pick up some resistors from radioshack so we can hopefully get some progress on the 3.0 kernel because it won't boot far enough to adb or dmesg for our purposes. The problem isn't CM10 right now, but the kernel, which would require jtag or uart debugging, as you have mentioned. I hope that we can get the 3.0 kernel booting soon so we can have cm9/10 fully working.

The main issue is that there are a few issues that can't be fully fixed without the 3.0 kernel such as the camera/camcorder, ION support, etc (which is WIP here: http://review.evervolv.com/#/c/6609/ ). I have already tried probing for the UART TX/RX pins on the lexikon motherboard with a bus pirate but I have not found anything to date. I ordered a micro usb breakout board yesterday for USB UART debugging and am going to pick up some resistors from radioshack so we can hopefully get some progress on the 3.0 kernel because it won't boot far enough to adb or dmesg for our purposes. The problem isn't CM10 right now, but the kernel, which would require jtag or uart debugging, as you have mentioned. I hope that we can get the 3.0 kernel booting soon so we can have cm9/10 fully working. Click to expand... Click to collapse This sounds about like the exact same issues that was experienced when I was helping hashcode work on the original kindle fire device and getting it to work with ICS. I 'think' with the HTC it shouldn't be near as hard to resolve the issue to get full hw acceleration, memory mappings camera/gps and all the extra bells and whistles if we make an attempt at backporting the necessary support into the .35 kernel instead of trying to upgrade * to 3.x which will be adding to the work and break more things than it fixes. Since HTC apparently isn't going to be releasing any updates for the device it looks like it is going to be left all up to us to make one of two decisions: 1) backporting kernel - only the few things remaining needed for our current working GB kernel to have full support for ICS/JB roms OR 2) updating to 3.x.x and merging HTC fixes and 3rd party patches -through several mainline kernel patches and keeping the proprietary htc addins compatible. My opinion/suggestion: I'd think of the two options that backporting would be the most logical answer to the equation since we are only missing support for few things and you already have everything working except the camera, ION, BINDER(?), and other >=3.0.0 android patches. Plus the device is pretty well coming to a good place to say cease development work and either enjoy the device or upgrade to something newer. So if we could get JB support or even just ICS working fully I think 99.99% of all owners/users would be more than 99.99% happy!! I know I would be very happy myself!
[Q] 4.1.2 and 4.2 rom with 3G USB modem support
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.

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 ?

Click to collapse 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.

Click to collapse 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.
