I used adb and it worked "MAKE SURE THAT YOU LOCK THE PERMISSION with CHMOD 755 or it will not work"

put the tablet in airplane mode
I download the file put into C:\ of desk top
I had backup my original by using adb pull /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
these are commands and responses

>adb shell
root@android:/ # su
su
root@android:/ # mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

chmod 777 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
root@android:/ # exit
exit

Tried the flashable zip using cwm 4.0.0.4 but I keep getting installation not successful message. The installation starts, file is opened but the result is unsuccessful. Any suggestions?
10.1v /unlocked / rooted / cwm 4.0.0.4

Edit: Just saw the manual push method above. It will just be so much easier if the flashable version would work.

pushed to system/bin w/ root explorer and edited permissions with RE too.

works so far on my 10.1 retail rooted

Works perfectly. The only thing different is the file size reported. Typo?

I have exactly the same issue. I did this same procedure on my galaxy tab (the original 7" one) and it worked great. Replacing the wpa_supplicant file on my galaxy tab 10.1 has the connections work for 10 seconds and then drop. Incidently, I find this is true for all connections (ad-hoc and regular). Switching back to the original file fixes this. I've played around with the config file in /data/mis/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and added ap_scan=1, but I've had no luck. I have the 16 GB retail version. My version also had a locked bootloader. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben

I don't seem to have this problem of wi-fi disconnecting on my 10.1v. So far working perfectly with Connectify, even when the device has screen off, connection seems to persist - I did select never switch to mobile data from settings. I don't know how long it will stay connected though, haven't done a time test yet.

My tablet is wifi only. Perhaps this is the issue. Has anyone gotten this to work who has a wifi only tablet (retail edition)?

does not work...

Left the tablet aside for an hour. I unlocked the screen, and instantly opened the web browser. The connection was working. So maybe it does have something to do with 3G connection even though it is turned off. I am using Connectify (free version) on my notebook.

Just thought of something. I have juicedefender set to turn off 3g when my phones screen turns off. This could cut connectivity without dropping wifi signal. Will test theory tomorrow...
