i flashed it on my droid now my wifi is foreclosing on me why how do i take it off
push your original wpa_supplicant file back (get it from your rom zipfile)
adb remount
adb push wpa_supplicant /system/bin
i took it off by reinstalling the same rom over it deleted the kernel an the wifi to so im back to normal now but yea how do i do this properly i thought i just it on the rom an every thing is ok lol an whats adb
its included in the android sdk toolchain.
Can all the people which had problems, check the version of wpa_supplicant their rom is using? connectbot or via adb in cmd.exe/shell (adb shell wpa_supplicant -v) and post the output?.
It seems like some newer roms are using wpa_supplicant v6 with different libs.
You can try to use the precompiled wpa_supplicant from daveba http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7711198&postcount=6
our flash the attached signed update zip. (its the same file)
Attention: its not my file!!
This is causing some serious wifi issues with my Droid (running a rooted version of the original Froyo ROM). Immediately, I noticed that the phone couldn't scan for wifi networks. I replaced the file with the wpa6 file, had the same issues. Replaced both files with the original wpa supplement included in the ROM, and now wifi still wont work.
EDIT: Nandroid restore did the trick.
Using the "wpa6_adhoc-signed.zip" version, I can connect to another Android phone's wireless hotspot, but I can't connect to my Windows-7 adhoc connection using wpa2. I can see the connection, but just not connect to it.
Anyone else seeing this behaviour?
Enom 2.11.3 ROM, btw.
I'm glad to see people resolving Google lacks!
I'd like to patch my wpa_supplicant (I have an HTC Wildfire w/ Android 2.1 and wpa_supplicant v0.5.11)
- Do you think this patched wpa_supplicant will work in my Android 2.1 even if it is compiled for froyo?
- Is it possible to use the v6 over the v5.11 or I have to use the v5 version?
- I guess I must be root to apply the patch, right?
Thanks very much!

I can see the adhoc network of my laptop on my phone but when i try to connect it stucks in the phase of obtaining IP address. I use pppoe connection on my laptop for adsl connection and static ip on my nexus one. any solutions?
Thanks for the reply blackplatypus,you need a rooted device to flash the signed update.zip or push the modified wpa_supplicant. Always do a nandroid backup! use the 5.11.
The file was compiled for android 2.2 so it shouldn't work with eclair, depends how much the system libs have changed (bionic libc, libwpa_client.so..), so make a backup try it out and revert in case of fail, or ask a eclair rom developer to build a patched wpa_supplicant for you, unfortunately I have no 2.1 toolchain ready at the moment.
try to connect with another laptop or smartphone, so that you know if the problem is in the device or in the connection of your laptop. i had the same problem but it was in the wifi connection on my pcI can see the adhoc network of my laptop on my phone but when i try to connect it stucks in the phase of obtaining IP address.

The patch below modifies the wpa_supplicant code in the external/wpa_supplicant AOSP repo to make ad-hoc networks appear as regular APs with a (*) prefix.
The patch:
* removes the [IBSS] flag from scan results,
* masquerades and demasquerades ad-hoc ssid with (*) prefix
* sets mode 1 (ad-hoc) if the ssid is for IBSS
* permits the supplicant to select an IBSS when associating to a given ssid

I got this working on my HTC Flyer WiFi with FlyHigh Rom.
Extract the wpa_supplicant from the zip file. Back up your original. Turn WiFi off. Use Root Explorer to paste it into your system/bin folder. Change the permissions on the file to rwxr-xr-x. Turn wifi back on. When scanning it should show (*) in front of any adhoc networks. I have it running with barnacle wifi tether on my OG Droid! W00tness!
