[Commotion-dev] open garden wifi tether

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Doh, oh well.  I see now: for serval, 'tether' was just renamed 'adhoc' and the ifconfig/ folder is stripped out.  I wonder if android-wifi-tether or OpenGarden would also nuke the wifi on my Droid-CM7.1, I'll try it out once I get it going again.  I had played with OpenGarden on that phone before, so I think not, but I'll try to confirm that.

So it looks like you split up the mega tether_edify script into per-device edify scripts.  That makes sense, it makes those scripts rational chunks.  Now I see the logging and all, but unfortunately, I already deleted batphone.  I reinstalled it and ran the setup again, the logs are attached.  I think it might be different than the initial attempt because detect.log is telling me this:

"Could not work out how to control your WiFi chipset. Relying on operating system, so no ad-hoc WiFi."

Here's all the logs:

While my Droid-CM7.1 is still not working for normal wifi after the Serval setup, Open Garden can still set up an Ad-hoc network, which my laptop can associate with and receive an IP via DHCP.

Terrorism is not an enemy.  It cannot be defeated.  It's a tactic.  It's about as sensible to say we declare war on night attacks and expect we're going to win that war.  We're not going to win the war on terrorism.        - retired U.S. Army general, William Odom
