Help Connect to Ad Hoc Network?

[MuskMan]

I have my Ascend flashed and running Icarus 1.1

I want to be able to connect to an Ad Hoc network. I was able to get Tether to work for creating a network but I need to be able to connect to other Ad Hoc networks.

I have it working on my Next7P Tablet with Doc's ROM but I cannot get the same result on the Ascend phone.

I have tried various wpa_supplicant files with no luck so far.

There is a slew of adhoc fixes/patches on xda

Alot of people have had sucess with this patch:
Android Ad-hoc support hack/wpa_supplicant - xda-developers

But do your research & keep a back up, just in case.

Have you tried CM6 or 7? They may have patched it in those builds, ill check when I have a sec to dig out my ascend or maybe some of the other CM ascend users can chime in...

OK, I fired up the Ascend, I have it running CM7-Ascend-BobZ
and it picked up & connected to my other phones running wifi tethers with no problems...
