connecting Ad Hoc

[roth140]

i have a Rooted eris with wifi tethering, but the galaxy tab doesnt find the broadcast. If i use my netbook it finds the "Android" SSID from my Eris and it will connect.

is there any way I can travel with my eris and use it to provide the Tab with wifi?

I'm rooted using unrevoked on my evo & my Sprint Galaxy Tab connects to it using wifi tether without any problems.

my fried has a rooted evo and it broadcasts a hotspot, not an ad hoc. stupid eris.... im going back to the best buy Demo unit to try the bluetooth tether.

Do a search on Ad Hoc. If you're rooted it's easy to fix the issue and you'll be tethering in no time.

Update the Wifi tether app and it should work...I had the same problem with my EVO.

Over on xda, there is a thread on using root to replace a wpa_supplicant file in /system/bin. Now I can "see" ad hoc and connect.

I can disable mobile networks and still get an internet connectoon from my rooted eris. It is running the rooted wireless teather app. Speedtest.net shows im still getting good speeds. Now I can drop the vzw $20 plan.

This tab really is great, no complaints!
