Any way to connect to Ad Hoc network?
the K3 will not connect to an Ad-Hoc network by design, any hacks that allow this?
I am trying to make Calibre available via WiFi without an Infrastructure network (i.e. riding in a car, or in a Hotel where I choose not to connect to their WiFi) thoughts? |

I second this question!
I saw somewhere people were playing with connecting to WPA supplicant network.. curious if there was any work on ad-hoc. i went cheap any got my fiancee the kindle wifi since she has wifi tether on her android. but it only does ad-hoc. why would kindle care? thanks! |

I am looking for a way to do this too...I specifically got the wifi only version figuring I could just tether it to my Droid if I needed to. :-(
Has there been any work on a hack for this? |

I know you can set the chipset to ad-hoc mode by
/etc/init.d/wifi stop /etc/init.d/wifi --mode ibss However the kindle os still doesn't allow connecting to ad-hoc, so you have to us iwconfig iwconfig wlan0 essid yournetworkhere I don't know if security (wep/wpa) is supported by the chipset or not. I think the reason they don't have ad-hoc support is that wep doesn't work with ad-hoc. I also don't know if this method is for creating an ad-hoc network or joining one. I haven't tested it. |

The console looks like this, but I couldn't reach websites through the webkit browser. (By the way, I'm staying on 3.0.2 since the upgrade fails every time...):
