Hi guys, I'm sorry that I start the age long discussion again but all the threads about the matter of enabling Adhoc via replacing the "wpa_supplicant" method are ether old or a total chaos.
I tried lots of different versions of "wpa_supplicant" ( this thread and this , this , this , this and this )and nothing seems to work. Replacing the original wpa_supplicant makes the wifi unable to start or unable to see any networks at all.
I replace the wpa_supplicant by using RootExplorer with mount R/W and then setting permissions (XXX-X-XXX in the columns resp.)
or by using:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/wpa_supplicant /system/bin/
chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
chown system.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
reboot
either time no success
I'm using a CF-4.4 rooted stock i9000 SGS with GB 2.3.6
PDA i9000xxjw4
PHONE i9000xxjw4
CSC i9000xajw4
to make things clearer, I'm not asking for info about:
- whether AdHoc is or isn't needed / unsecure / old
- how to use connectify in win7 to make a virtual AP
- how to edit the "wpa_supplicant.conf" method.
I just want to have any adhoc visible in wifi connections with a suffix like I used to on 2.3.3 and be able to connect (preferably from the first time), pleas don't point me to other threads , I've read most of them.
ps. here's my original wpa_supplicant that sees only non adhoc networks, If I wasn't such a noob and if I knew a way to modify it or how to compile it using the patch from szym mentioned in the theads I would have done it myself
