[Q] Connecting Galaxy tab to Ad hoc Network?

---

Anyone been able to apply a method for connecting a Galaxy tab to a ad hoc wifi network?

I've rooted my tab and poked around for the various fixes but can't get anything to work. I tried the compiled Froyo fix for this but it throws an error when I try to flash the fix using Rom Manager: "failed to verify whole-file signature".

Will this patch need to be resigned for the tab? I'll admit I'm new to the Android world and I'm hoping there's an easy fix for this.

i also want to know how to connect to an ad hoc network. Please help us.

I tether mine using wireless tether on my dinc you just need to enable access control and it will work.

By wireless tether, you mean Bluetooth? What do you mean by "enable access control"?

I have a rooted droid incredible I use "wireless tether" from the market. When you open the app hit menu then access control and just hit enable.

Nope...had me going for a minute though. Funny though,my girlfriends DX can see my ad-hoc tether from my d1?

I would also like to know...

After rooting my tab I found this link on the forums: forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7711198&postcount=6

Grabbing the wpa_supicant file from there all I did was use root explorer, which can be found in the android market, to back up my existing wpa_supplicant found in the
/system/bin/ directory at the bottom. Then I copied the newly downloaded file
(after extracting it) and placed it in the above mentioned directory. You will have to press
The r/w button at the top of root explorer in order to enable read write permissions in
/system/bin . I tested this with the wireless tether on my droid original and it works
as advertised.

I am not the one who created this solution nor am I the one who compiled wpa_supplicant
All credit goes to the original author of the solution. I merely wish to convey to you that this solution worked for me. I hope this helps.

*It is important to note th at this was done using a rooted verizon galaxy tab. You will
Have to be at least rooted for this solution to have any chance of working. I used z4root
in order to root my device which can be found by searching these forums or the android market and again I dont claim any credit or participation in the creation of that app.

I wish someone would do a step by step for dummies on how to do this. Thanks!
