[OLSRD] adhoc network

[Matteo]

Hi everybody,
I have a samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 p5113.

I downloaded OLSR on Android and I pushed all file inside the tablet.
Now, I have a problem with wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli.

I tried this command line:
su -c "/system/bin/wpa_cli -p /data/misc/wifi/"

But I had this error:
Selected interface 'sockets'
Interactive mode
Could not connect to wpa_supplicant: sockets - re-trying

Instead with only wpa_cli I can enter and I did scan_results and so on.
However I can't see the Adhoc network, do I have to change the wpa_supplicant? I tried to change with an wpa_supplicant found with Google but after that the wifi didn't work.

Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks a lot

Matteo

Very few Android 4.x support Adhoc out-of-box. You can use a custom kernel,
or it might be possible with just a custom wpa_supplicant.

You might also be interested in the olsrd app for Android:

It won't help you with the low-level issues you're talking about, but it'll
manage connecting once you get adhoc working. For info on custom kernels and
such, check out the SPAN project:
