1. Go
here to xda-developers forum
2. Download wpa_adhoc-signed.zip.
3. Unzip file and extract wpa_supplicant
4. On PE rename /bin/wpa_supplicant /bin/wpa_supplicant.old (or whatever)
5. Copy new version of wpa_supplicant to /bin directory onn PE
6. Change file permissions to 755 for /bin/wpa_supplicant
7. Reboot PE
8. Start sharing wifi from your phone or whatever adhoc network you use
9. See your network name in the list with an asterisk (*)!
10. Select and connect
Now I can connect to my phone's adhoc wifi without having to use ZT-Adhoc Switcher. The phone shows up in the normal wifi access point list. This makes it so much more convinient
BTW I'm rooted and running ermine 2.2. I most likely will not work on dingo.
All thanks to the original poster/patcher!!!
Accordingly here's what it should do:
Quote:
The patch below modifies the wpa_supplicant code in the external/wpa_supplicant AOSP repo to make ad-hoc networks appear as regular APs with a (*) prefix.
The patch:
* removes the [IBSS] flag from scan results,
* masquerades and demasquerades ad-hoc ssid with (*) prefix
* sets mode 1 (ad-hoc) if the ssid is for IBSS
* permits the supplicant to select an IBSS when associating to a given ssid
