[Commotion-dev] Problem create/join adhoc network

Thu Feb 28 20:28:59 UTC 2013

Here's someone who claims success with adhoc on Galaxy Tab 10.1 using a custom
wpa_supplicant:

Here's someone doing it on another 4.x tablet:

I'd be very curious to here whether this works.  If it does, that means we
could support some 4.x devices without modifying them by including our own
wpa_supplicant in MeshTether.

If you want to find an Android device that supports adhoc mode, the safest bet is to use an HTC device that runs Android 2.x.  As far as I have heard, no one has gotten a stock Android 4.x device to do adhoc, but you can get it working on Android 4.x by installing a custom kernel.
