[Q] All workarounds failed,cm7.1 ROM not connecting to Ad hoc wifi

[alienxx]

HI all,
My phone specs -HTC Aria
Rooted , S -OFF
ROM : cm7.2 RC0
clockworkmod recovery v5.0.2
Android 2.3.7

I am trying to connect to wifi ad hoc from my win7 laptop(using connectify) to my phone.My laptop is connected to internet via LAN which is behind college proxy but Connectify successfully created wifi hotspot. Now problem is that my phone is able to detect the ad hoc network but has problem connecting , it gets stuck at "obtaining ip address...." .

What I tried after searching in forums?

As mentioned by a member I filled in some values in Advanced wifi settings and
filled out I.P Address(192.168.2.2) subnet (192.168.2.1) dns1 and dns2 after doing this my wifi went crazy, It connects & immediately disconnects continuously and this happens so on.

As mentioned in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961 I tried to flash the zip from recovery but i got this error :

Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting is deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Installation aborted.

Next using Root Explorer I tried to replace the existing wpa_supplicant file located at /system/bin with the file given in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17582197&postcount=79, this time my wifi doesn't even detect the ad hoc network so I reverted it to old file. Basically I couldn't find anywhere wpa_supplicant file for Android 2.3.7.The most updated I got was for Android 2.3.5 version.

I tried so hard but couldn't work it out , if any one done this before please help me here..
Thank you !!

to flash the zip you need clockworkmod version 2.x

Thanks for the reply..

can you provide a workaround for 2.3.7(to be precise wpa_supplicant for 2.3.7) as in other forums it was given for previous android versions. Since I am new member I cannot post in the concerned threads .
