Thank you very much for your reply, but sadly I have already tested that wpa_supplicant in your post without success, I was able to connect to my Joikuspot too until I upgraded to JB 4.2.2, Im sure your tablet manufacturer added IBSS support into the kernel and you can connect normally to ad hoc networks, however I need an android kernel with the IBSS drivers installed in the nexus 7 kernel besides a patched wpa_supplicant in order to connect to ad hoc networks, and sadly google is not answering to anyone for this issue.

Finally!

I found this custom rom (cm10 - 4.2.2 based) that has full IBSS support:

http://b-real.org/2013/ad-hoc-ibss-m...h-cyanogenmod/
http://www.thinktube.com/android-tec...roid-wifi-ibss

Here we provide information, patches and a few system images to support Ad-Hoc (IBSS) mode. We base our additions on CyanogenMod 10.1-M2 (Android 4.2.2 JDQ39).

Our goal is to bring the missing Ad-Hoc (IBSS) mode to Android, in a way that is completely integrated into the Android system API and user-interface. Users should be able to create and connect to Ad-Hoc networks from the standard user interface (Settings – WiFi) and Applications should have an API to configure their “own” Ad-Hoc network. We believe this will help people who need more capability than WiFi Direct and can extend diverse usages of Android mobile devices.

To achieve this, we have modified the WLAN driver “bcmdhd”, extended the Android framework, the public Android API and added the missing parts to the “Settings” application. At this moment only Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 devices are supported and tested, but the same kernel modifications can be made to a number of devices and the UI will automatically show Ad-Hoc mode options when the driver supports it.

We have submitted these changes to CyanogenMod and Google AOSP Gerrit and provide this page for further information.

I have tested it on my nexus 7 and it can detect my nokia hotspot (joikuspot) flawlessly

Thank you Carupbanbow! I just found out about the patch today! It will be merged into the Cyanogen Nightlies as of tomorrow!

Also can you please post if you are using CyanogenMod OR stock rom OR an alternative rom?

Hi

I'm currently using the custom cm10.1 rom image supplied here: http://www.thinktube.com/files/andro...AL-grouper.zip but i'm waiting to install the latest stable CyanogenMod with the IBSS patch as soon it gets online

Fresh News 3/25

Thanks for the heads up!

Merged into cm-10.1 branch TODAY - 3/25.

Anybody know off the top of their head if this will get into tonight's nightly build, or should I wait a full 24 hrs?

Ad-Hoc would be enough to finally make me give up rooted stock as daily driver.

Oops. I guess I didn't look at that CM code review status page carefully - it's for Samsung Galaxy devices.

However, it looks like the same patches are also submitted & under review for grouper CM 10.1

Bump!

Ad-hoc WiFi is now in the CM10.1 Nightly builds for grouper. Now I can leave the house with the N7 without buying coffee!

Just tested CM10.1 20130416-Nightly against my GB Android phone running Android Wireless Tether 2.0.8 pre-1.

Seems to work just fine, yay!

Nice! I'll try it when I get back home I was still using the custom cyanogen mod version provided by thinktube.com
