Question [B]ad-hoc[/B]

can someone test the wpa_supplicant provided (which is in system/bin) on galaxy player 5.0 (2.35) to see if any one work and can connect to adhoc wpa_supplicant.rarnetwork?
first, rename it to wpa_supplicant and test them one by one,thanks!

their is an app in the market called:
"WiFi Ad Hoc enabler" by AREND
I would try it, but I don't have a SGP rom, so if my wifi config was to get trashed, I'd be in trouble :P
when i find a rom for the SGP 4.0, I might try this, I've been wanting ADhoc for a while now.

The file wpa_supplicant3 works well on my YP G70 2.3.6. Now I can use ad hoc.

Well, you can use a terminal to run each file, and you will see the version number. If there is a "ah" word after the number, it's an ad hoc supported file. Otherwise, you don't need to try it. Besides, you should run your system's orginal file to know the right version for your current system.

How do I run them? I tried copying them to my SD then running with connect bot,
but it said "permission denied" so I tried "chmod +x" and it said bad mode

I tried that too (see attachment)
What would happen if I was to copy wpa3 and it was the wrong version?
would my SGP still boot? I made a backup, so if it would not cause any serious harm I could just go ahead and try #3.

Of course it will boot. Wrong file only cause Wi-Fi connection failed or nothing. And I suggest copy the files into /system/bin and then run them.

By the way, you don't need to reboot after replacing the file. You just need to turn off the WiFi and turn on it. If it works, you will find your adhoc connection point in the list. So you needn't be afraid of not booting.
