You need to access your device using adb, or DroidExplorer.

The file you need to modify is:
/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

(adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf)

Open this with notepad++ or Wordpad, as a txt file.

You will see something like the following. Ignore the arrows and change the bolded parts to match:

ctrl_interface=/data/system/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=1000
update_config=1

[B]eapol_version=1[/B]  <--------------- Add this
[B]ap_scan=2[/B]        <---------------------- Add this


network={                        
    [B]ssid="MY_WIFI_NETWORK_NAME"[/B]   <--------------Wifi name 
    [B]scan_ssid=1[/B]  <------------Add this 
    key_mgmt=NONE
    [B]wep_key0=1234567800[/B]  <------- WEP key password you set
    mode=1      
    priority=1
}

Now replace the original file that is on your device. Your device will now attempt to connect to your Adhoc network.

(adb push wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf)

If you setup a new connection, these settings will be overwritten.

awesome updated instructions, do we know how to do this with other tablets?

 

[xaueious]

The instructions were ported from the Eken.

Typically the file is in /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

Can you verify?

Managed to connect apad via adhoc to my windows mobile, but cant browse the web, any ideas?

 

[xaueious]

There's actually a better solution now:
I have infrastructure and adhoc working at the same time!! Do you want to? look here!

After trying to solve this tethering problem for one week I managed using this solution, but after adding: "ctrl_interface_group=1000" in second line of the zipped files.

Had problem at first tethering from my windows mobile but after trying the old free wmwifirouter I finally could connect web pages

Sounds good

I am not sure if I understand what you mean, did you create a network on your laptop or you apad? You should only make one with your tethering software for Evo and edit the config file for your Apad,

By the way, I have heard Evo supports access point tethering so its unnessesary to try to setup adhoc tethering.
Try google for evo tethering

View attachment $wpa_supplicant.zipTry this conf file with Androidtether as "access point" if you prefer adhoc on Evo.
Be sure to set up same name in tether app on Evo, if it doesnt work try another tether app.
