Adhoc without ZT-Adhoc Switcher
1. Go here
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 in the list! 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:

I've come across this awhile ago during my AdHoc investigation and didn't attempt it yet. Good job if it continues to pose no problems. It was compiled purposefully for a froyo build, so it probably will not work for dingo. Doesn't mean there isn't a similar fix out there designed around dingo. For those curious about what program he's trying to circumvent for adhoc connections, is posted about in this thread. ZT-Adhoc Switcher. Last edited by ATFmac; 10-03-2011 at 09:05 PM. |

What I like about it best is that there is no extra software to install. Also you don't have to deal with having to manually switch between modes.

Can you still connect to regular networks? (non-adhoc)

Make sure in adhoc switcher that you switched back to infrastructure mode. Otherwise you'll only be able to connect to adhoc networks.
