i have a nexus s and i havent been able to get ad-hoc mode working replacing wpa file doesnt do anything..... anyone have a possible solution?
Use a Wifi hotspot software on your laptop maybe if you are trying to share internet. I personally use Marify to share the internet from my laptop if any wifi network is not accessible.

Hello!
I recently moved away to a new home and I don't have a wifi router at this time and don't actually need one for just my G3. But still want to try whether any alternative is possible. I stumbled upon what a trick called "AdHoc" but according to the guide, android nativly doesn't support Adhoc (or something like that).
So I am looking for a way to make it work OR any other way to get wifi on my phone. Probably something like reverse tethering.
Thanks!!!
EDIT :: I am also tried using adhoc for myself but, the phone gets stuck on "authenticating" .
So you want to tether your phone to your computer?
I use a program for Connectify to make my own private hotspot using whatever wired connection my laptop has. Its entirely free though probably not the most lightweight or "hack-y" way of doing it.
We had a guide for tethering your PC internet for froyo in which we had to replace WPA supplicant file but it's of no use to you (cm 7)
I myself had tried adhoc of Microsoft but it is way too difficult to configure
You did not mention anything about your PC
If it is from Dell you get a program known as peer net with which you can get wifi in your home. This works with our galaxy 3
Also I think cm7 supports Adhoc as the program mentioned above works flawlessly with it
If it is true then try connectify, virtual router and other programs
If you succeed in configuring wifi be prepared to use the slowest internet speed possible

Hey friends,
Whenever i create a adhoc Wifi network using my laptop in order to connect my Galaxy Fit to it through Wifi,... my phone doesn't shows the wifi network created on my laptop.....i recently did a upgrade from Froyo to Gingerbread....but i dont think that could be an issue...
Please suggest some steps to enable the wifi using adhoc facility..
Normal Wifi hotspots around a cafe or college campus can be easily shown and connected....but when creating an ad-hoc using laptop it doesnt show up....please help

Has anyone been successful in getting wifi tethering (mobile hotspots) to work on a CM10 rom? I use wifi tether for root users. And it seems to work when I connect from a laptop or PC with wifi but it just doesn't seem to wanna work when I try to connect another android device such as an sgs3. Is there some kinda setting or something I'm missing? I'm using a P6200

hi,
searched a long time for the solution of the same problem... seems it´s like a strategic plan of t he producers... if it would be easy nobody would pay the 100 euros difference to upgrade to a 3g version...
found a solution (not perfect, only for emergency cases) for me: i installed open garden wifi tethering (from market) onto my htc hd2 - miui (stable version 6 by langthang). hence in its settings: activate "use bluetooth connection (pan)". enable bluetooth on the tab.
start tethering by pushing the large wifi-symbol on handyscreen. give superuser permission; confirm the pairing. just wait some seconds; then you have to enter into the settings of the new paired bluetooth device on the tab (in my case its simply called hd2) and activate the internet-option.
Now it should work (you can see the traffic on the handy-screen)

Hi
Can anyone please tell how to connect to ad-hoc network? I have used many ROMs(Stock ICS, JB leak1 and leak3, mokee, pacman, miui) but not able to connect to ad-hoc network in any ROM. In stock GB I was able to connect to ad-hoc wifi. I also connected to ad-hoc connection in JB leak a couple of time, but not able to connect every time. The behavior for ad-hoc connection is somewhat strange, some times phone just keep on "obtaining ip address" step and some time it connects to the network but internet connectivity lost after few minutes, and some times it does not find the ad-hoc connection at all. It does show other wifi connections from my neighbourhood but It does not show my ad-hoc wifi connection.
If anyone has faced such issue, then please help.
Thanks in advance for your help
Or you can use Connectify

I have "data card" to access internet and the lite version of connectify does not support the sharing of internet connection using "data card". is there any way other way I can share my laptop's internet connection with my phone?
BTW, is there any issue with our device/Roms to connect to ad-hoc wifi connection?
I'm trying to modify my Asus ME172V tablet so it can access an ad-hoc wi-fi connection.
The best method appears to be replacing the wpa_supplicant file. However when I replaced the original with a file that was modified to enable ad-hoc wi-fi would not turn on.
Is there a wpa_supplicant file that will successfully enable ad-hoc wifi on the ME172V?
Or is there another way I can enable ad-hoc access?
I got a suggestion on another forum (Thanks!) and resolved the copying permission issue by turning off the wi-fi.
Partial solution found - delete this message
My questions in my modified previous post are still pertinent. I can't figure out how to delete this post...
need wpa_supplicant for ME172V w/ad-hoc
Well I've searched and found 3 different wpa-supplicant files that all apparently enable ad-hoc on other devices. Unfortunately on the ME172V wi-fi can't be turned on with any of them.
Anyone know of a wpa_supplicant that enables wi-fi and will work with the ME172V?
I want a tablet with ad-hoc wi-fi as a controller for my music server. If I can't come up with a solution soon I guess I'll just buy a Windows tablet and sell the ME172V.
