Not Found
Sorry, but you are looking for something that is not here.
Do you know where can i find it?
Not working with my chinese device
tried and failed with it.....any solution ?????
I checked few more posts about wpa_supplicant. It looks like the generic or posted files works on some device models. May be It depends on device configuration as well. wpa_config is associated file which may also need some change relavant to the wpa_supplicant or need modification for specific device models.
I am dont understand the code fully. I hope someone will sort it out
it's working on samsung galaxy s and many htc phones with

Hi.
I've just set up an Ad-Hoc network so I can use the connection in the kitchen, and whilst my PC finds it fine, but my HTC Sensation won't even detect the network.
Apparently this is a problem with Android?
Is there anyway to enable the ability for Android to detect Ad-Hoc networks on the HTC Sensation.
Have the same questions. Searching the net for a couple of hours doesn't give me any answer please help

Hey, best way I have found to use my Sensation in an AdHoc network is to create the AdHoc network via your phone. As long as you have root access, install Barnacle WiFi Tether and run that. It will give you an AdHoc network discoverable by your laptop

this Problem occures because Android filters the ad-hoc networks from wifi search results , means Android discovers them , but not showing them to you !!!!!!!!!
there is a patch for Desire HD that i used on my Incredible 2 ( working 100% ) called ( DHD_Adhoc_Support.zip ) link in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386601&highlight=AdHoc+Enable+Networking
there is another one for sensation called ( Ad-hoc Sensation-Ad-hoc.zip ) . i don't remember from wher i downloaded it . i don't have sensation phone to try it , but i am sure it will work . Update link http://www.multiupload.com/A6AGJVX7A0
this patch will replace your original file in your Rom , so do a nand before you try
All sense Roms i tested have problems with wifi ???
there is a small yet powerful Software Called Connectify Pro that does three things :
Acts like an actual hardware Router ( Not software networking )
toggle wifi with a single click for either ad-hoc or hotspot
automatically does all complicated configurations for all types of network to fit with your firewall and windows
And more , i can't do without it
hope that would help , Please hit thanks if you found it useful for you
Enjoy

Thanks for your explanation. Unfortunately the patch for DHD does not work on ICS. Do you have another link for Ad-hoc Sensation-Ad-hoc.zip cause the one you gave is no longer available. And I found other links but also not available.
Do you know if the Ad-hoc Sensation-Ad-hoc.zip work under ICS ?
Thank you
I had exactly the same problem and after many hours of testing and failures i manages to find a solution that gives me what I want, connect my HTC Sensation 4g with my Ubuntu's 12.04 ad-hoc network!!! (I thing it can work with other platforms too)
Since i have posted the solution to another thread i will give you the link of the thread.
Look at post #6

Hello everybody!
I have managed to change the Wi-Fi MAC address of my device and now I share this technique with you. With this method, you can change your address permanently!
What is a MAC address?
A Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment. It may also be known as a burned-in address, an Ethernet hardware address (EHA), hardware address or physical address. (Source: Wikipedia)
Why would somebody change his/her MAC address?
- To access the internet where it is restricted to particular addresses.
- To hide his/her illegal activity. (Though this is not effective enough since the Android system sends product information and a lot of other things to the Google servers and I'm sure that previous IP addresses could be searched for if somebody does something really nasty.)
Is it legal to change the MAC address?
As far as I know, it is. However, I firmly discourage you on doing anything illegal with changed/unchanged MAC.
Let's do it!
What do you need?
- A rooted device.
- A kernel with MAC address changing support. (I include my ICS kernel (version 3.1.10) for those who want to try it out and the method of implementing it into other custom kernels.)
- A file manager that can explore the root filesystem.
How does this exactly work?
Normally, the Wi-Fi driver gets the MAC address from the built-in chip then it writes the address to '/efs/wifi/.mac.info' and '/data/.mac.info'. This is the original burned-in address. This cannot be changed with software modifications, but only by soldering off the chip from the motherboard and rewriting its contents. Our Wi-Fi device is a Broadcom BCM4330. It has very good built-in features and the open source driver can be found in our kernel sources.
There are two different options in the driver (READ_MACADDR and RDWR_MACADDR (actually, there is a WRITE_MACADDR option too, which stands for creating the two files I have mentioned before)), which enable us changing the address. I tested both and found READ_MACADDR better. By enabling it in the kernel, you get some options regarding MAC changing.
Before you change your MAC address in any way, turn off Wi-Fi! I recommend writing down your original address somewhere (just to be extra secured). You can always return to your original one using the second method (read further) or by flashing a kernel that doesn't have the patch.
- If you flash a patched kernel and delete the '/efs/wifi/.mac.info' file, the driver will generate (!!) a custom MAC address based on some predefined rules (The first 24 bits are common in all generated addresses.).
- Of course you can set your own custom MAC address. Do this by editing the '/efs/wifi/.mac.info' file with a file manager. If you change it to an incorrect address, the system will automatically use the original (burned-in) MAC.
For kernel developers who want to enable this:
Find '#define WRITE_MACADDR' after '#ifdef CONFIG_MACH_N1' in 'drivers/net/wireless/bcmdhd/src/dhd/sys/dhd_sec_feature.h' and insert '#define READ_MACADDR' after that line. This is for ICS kernels (version 3.1.10), but the patch must work on GB ones too. You just have to insert the define somewhere else (I didn't look into this.).
(I count on you guys in implementing this! )
I attach my prebuilt (secure, MMC_ERASE_CAP disabled) kernel for trying out this feature. It is an ICS kernel (version 3.1.10).
Every custom modification to devices have risks. Use this at your own risk!
Have fun and enjoy!
Thanks!
Just tried patching the kernel, it works! So, this feature will be included in my next kernel.
Before flashing the patched kernel, when I turn off wifi, delete .mac.info file, re-enable wifi, the MAC address is not changed.
However, after flashing the patched kernel, after I turn off wifi, delete .mac.info file and re-enable wifi, the MAC address is changed!
Thanks very much for the useful guideline from Adam77Root :good:

If kernel supports only we change the WIFI MAC Address, we can not use it on all the kernels...

Just have taken a look into your kernel sources and it seems it is.

I have looked into the sources of your Wi-Fi driver (the same BCMDHD) and it seems it doesn't support it. Maybe this is a Samsung-only feature.
any suggestion...?

I think your best bet would be the galaxy ace forums. You could search if there's an existing kernel with this functionality or else you could direct one of the kernel developers there to have a look at this thread.
I'm a beginner, plz explain in detail such that I can do it.

You need a kernel that supports it.
BTW: Why on earth is this thread in the Q&A??

Hello experts,
since a long time I'm trying to fix my mutating MAC on a Huawei U8860 (so called Honor).
Your Thread gives me new hope. Atm I'm running a custom rom (baidu v.5, ROM 43) on my device.
Do you think, it's possible to insert the phrase into the kernel-source to make the MAC fix again? The wlan-chip is nearly the same as in your tested device (bcm4329).
What else do I have to patch? Is it necessary to write the MAC (seen on the label under battery) into any config-file?
I apprecheate your help - thanx for reading...
Works on Samsung S4 mini with CM 11, however I need to reboot after changing .mac.cob even when deleting .mac.info (which does not automaticly returns), as turning off/on WiFi isn't enough.
I guess the READ_MACADDR option is missing, and at one point I'd like to make my own CM modification. Or is there a more simple solution?
I'm new here..
I have rooted my galaxy note 2 gt-N7100
I want to change my mac address to another one that i want
Can you tell me how can I do it?

Just over a year ago, I asked you a solution for my Galaxy S2, and you found me a solution thanks to this post on the Galaxy S2 forum.

Some devices have the hardware required for OTG but do not have the software support, these devices can add the software and then enable OTG functionality.
But...
Some devices do not have the hardware that is required, these devices can not enable OTG functionality even if you install the software.
So, first, you need to verify whether or not your device has the hardware to support OTG.
