[Commotion-dev] Kernel which supports wireless extensions

[Hans of Guardian]

Hey Magnus,

Glad to have more people working on this stuff, it can be painful.

The Nexus One has working adhoc with the stock kernel and OS, so its probably not a good example for getting this stuff working on other devices.  Also, you don't need monitor mode for OLSR, just plain on adhoc IBSS mode.

I think the key is to figure out where adhoc mode is disabled in the HTC One V.  Have you tried running Commotion MeshTether on it?  The debug log from the menu of that app could provide useful info.  The other thing I'd do is try directly messing with the wpa_supplicant from the terminal to see if it returns adhoc/IBSS networks in the scans.

I do this kind of debugging using Lil Debi (in the Play store) so that I have a full Debian shell to work in, either via adb shell or ssh.

We are trying to use the SPAN application and are currently working on building our own custom kernel. However we are having some trouble getting the wireless extension support working. We have asked the SPAN project group for help, but we cant figure out where the problem is.

If we can do this with our HTC phones it will help us towards reaching our goal. However, we are not sure how to use it, can anyone point us in the right direction of where to start?
