Ad-Hoc WiFi on Android Old Hardware
One thing, I would probably not do this over WiFi ADB. I did it over USB. Also, this is all from memory, so double check all spelling. I could have messed something up.
- Start up ADB on nook
- Download the attachment (wpa_supplicant.zip) from the above post here
- Unzip it, you will get wpa_supplicant
- Use ADB to connect to nook:
- adb shell
- Rename your old wpa_supplicant:
- cd /system/bin
- mv wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant.old
- In another terminal, push the new wpa_supplicant to nook:
- adb push wpa_supplicant /system/bin/
- Go back to your ADB Shell and chmod the file:
- chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
- Exit the ADB shell:
- exit
- Profit.
Your ad-hoc wireless networks will now show up in the WiFi menu, but with a (*) in front of them:
(*)N900
is what my N900 looks like.
It also doesn't seem to have information on signal strength, so it always gave me 0 bars, but I was able to use it from a few rooms away.
