tether phone to tablet

[xaueious]

It's not hard to implement according to this

What you'll need

Better terminal emulator
Root explorer

Goto wifi settings
Add the adhoc's ssid case sensitive

Goto better terminal emulator

Type
ifconfig ra0 down

Goto root explorer
Navigate to /system/etc/wifi
Open in text editor (hold your finger on the file to see options) wpa_supplicant.conf
This is what mine looks like

ctrl_interface=ra0
update_config=1

network={
ssid="AndroidTether"
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=1
}

Edit your ssid and make it look like this one
Menu -> save & exit
it will make a back up

Goto /system/etc/wireless/rt2870sta
In rt2870sta.dat edit the red (should all look like this one)

Goto Terminal emulator again and type

woo alright sweet thanks for the help i will give it a try and see if i can get it working

[riki1kenobi]

What I tried to do was to install a piece of software that allows you to create a secure network on the phone and see IF the apad would connect to it. Havent had any success as yet, but I'm still working on it......

I've just signed up on here, been keeping tabs on developments though (the slatedroid site is down at the mo so I cant update the blog I have running over there) but I'll keep updating on both IF I manage to find a workaround........

Riki

That would be great let us know if you get anything working

[probbiethe1]

i havent been able to try xaueious instructions yet but i was wondering if anyone else has, and if it works?

[riki1kenobi]

Those instructions are for the M001 devices and WONT work on the apad.

The apad doesnt have the correct code to even get the ifconfig module down.

I'm doing this the hard way by attempting to learn how to build my own ROM. IF I manage to re-write the code that enable ad-hoc I will post it up......

In the meantime, IF another ROM appears with it enabled then let me know.

[probbiethe1]

ok i will keep you updated and if you do figure it out would be able to build and app that could connect to ad hoc networks aswell?

hey riki1kenobi not to rush you or anything because i know it takes time but i was just checking to see if you have made any progress or have any good news for us if you need help testing or anything let me know

ok so i dont know if you still check these threads sense you havent responded to my last question but i was wondering if this Linux + GNU = Humans Enabled: How to Tether your Android to Ubuntu(or Fedora) GNU+Linux for Internet Connectivity could be tweeked to work with tablets and if any buddy else knows or wants to work on this let us know

[probbiethe1]

i should have mentioned this in the beginnig but if you have a nexus one running android 2.2 you should have no problem connecting a tablet to it because it broadcast a normal wifi network not an had hoc network
