It's good news that this patch got submitted but I agree with the notion that even it accepted it will take a long time to "trickle up".<div><br></div><div>Should we be starting a list of devices that are compatible with Android Mesh Tether?

Hopefully this actually gets in and starts to be supported. But even<br>
then it takes a long time for new android versions to trickle down to<br>
actual devices.<br>
<br>
I have wondered if we should team up with other projects that want<br>
adhoc on android to build a single unified API we can use to get adhoc<br>
working on each device. With a web site for documenting which<br>
platforms are supported or broken and any other crazy steps required<br>
like replacing your kernel.<br>

I'm glad to see that's been submitted! Currently, does implementing<br>
ad-hoc mode such as in MeshTether (and Serval has their own<br>
implementation too, no?) require root? I imagine once ad-hoc is<br>
supported in android itself root will not be required, which will<br>
greatly expand its accessibility for both developers and users.<br>
