i dont have a gtablet yet, but i was wondering if i had the root wifi tether on my droid x, if i could connect the gtablet to that network.
it has been hit and miss on some of my devices linking to the ad-hoc network.
i am going to put some rom on it, so i will pick based off of what works with the tether

Yes it works I have the Droid Incredible rooted and I can tether just fine to my gtab running TnT Lite version 2.2.0.
+1 for me getting this thing.
Basically i have recently invested in a new netbook with wireless and i always use my Defy to tether to it and my other pc aswell. I use the 3G hotspot app to tether it this came with the phone and didn't require root so i use it as dont wish to root my phone. I have now installed linux on my netbook a i prefer it but now my wi-fi tether wont work anymore i know the pc is working fine as it will connect to other wireless networks. Is there anyway i can make it tether again?
Thanks
Can anyone please help?

Hello I was wondering this tablet can connect to ad hoc tethering yet? Is there a wpa supplicant file someone could point me to because I couldn't find anything while searching. Thank you.

Easy solution, to which no root is needed, is to install FoxFi on your phone. They removed it from marketplace. Just Google for the apk. Install it on your phone. Then install the add on that's in the marketplace. Works flawlessly for me. I had same issue where newer ICS and JB builds on my nexus 7 and note 10.1 wouldn't recognize the old wifi tether app, which used ad hoc tethering and needed root on phones. I've used Foxfi on my old Atrix phone and worked. Tablet picked it right up. Now I have my new Samsung Galaxy S3, which is completely stock. Installed foxfi on that also. Now I can tether my 4g LTE speeds to all my tablets with no issue. No root was needed on phone. App works great on stock phone. Its likely your phone is supported if its a decent/popular android phone.
I don't thinknthe supplicant file method will work on the note. I know I tried it on ly nexus 7 and didn't work. FoxFi solved everything
Supported stock no root.I use my tab more 10.1 connected to cell all the time.
Supported out of box

I think its more so, what particular app people are using to make the ad hoc tethering connection attempt. As people have been reporting not being able to connect. I know, on my older rooted atrix, the tablet wouldn't see the connection using the old tried and proven Wireless tethering app. FoxFi solved the issue for me. I think people that have paid hotspots feature on their phone can get it to work out the box(may be wrong). But alot of others, not just this tablet alone(prime, nexus 7, etc..) have had issues getting ad hoc tethering to work since newer builds of ICS. On prime, we used an alternate wifi supplicant file to get it to work. But later updates caused that to not even work anymore.

Funny you mention that. As I have the old unlimited data plan on VZW I had to spring for the additional hotspot charge to tether my S3. Worked great for a couple weeks then stopped. "Saw" the phone but couldn't lock on an IP. Before the last update. Both phone and tab were rooted stock at the time. Staff at VZW shop had no idea why. Figured I'd ask to not give any cause to jeopardize my plan. That said, FoxFi works great!
Weird.
confirmed working for me..
Foxfi running on papasmuffs CM9 HTC EVO build..
using 'Pdanet Tablet' on the Asus Transformer stock rooted .27
Thanks for the thread as was going nuts playing with the old tether program..
Search is your friend..

Only other thing I can think of is to try using the wireless tethering app. But instead of wifi, choose Bluetooth tethering in options. Its not as fast as wifi but still good for normal usage. Any connection is better than none I was using Bluetooth tethering for a while until I found solution.
Hello there,
I'm pulling this post back from the depth of the forum to ask if there is any news on this front... Foxfi is not working on my phone (motorola Defy), and neither is Wifi Tether. Bluetooth tethering (via PDAnet for example) works but is extremely slow...
Would you have a suggestion either for an android wifi tethering program that supports interface mode, or about a way to add support for ad-hoc wifi in the note 10.1 ?
Many thanks.
I had the paid version of foxfi+PDAnet on my droid 2. Now have the Maxx HD, and thought rooting would solve the hotspot problem, but I am having trouble getting it to work. Trying wireless tether root now and still can't get a wi'fi signal. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

I like many out there have a locked 4.4.2 phone and might be mad like me. I used WiFi tethering with the use of an app that no longer works on KitKat. Fortunately USB tethering does work with my laptop. So does anyone have any idea how to use USB tethering to a tablet on the latest ota update? My tablet is unlocked and rooted with omnirom nightly updates.

That's why I've avoided the upgrade.....but have you tried bluetooth tethering?
I have already upgraded to KitKat, and original Android WiFi Tethering (Mobile Hotspot) works pretty well.
It didn't work on Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
