This might be useful for those of you with HP Touchpads. Ever since I rooted (stock ROM with root), I have been trying to use a wifi tethering app to share my GS2 data connection with my Touchpad. I knew it would be a challenge since the TP doesn?t support ad-hoc wifi connections. I tried many combinations of options in the Wifi Tether and Open Garden apps. I came across a suggested setup in a general TP forum on XDA. xda-developers - View Single Post - [webOS] $50 Bounty for Adhoc support
Here is the basic post with a few of my own notes thrown in.
You need to use the beta of the Wifi Tether app wifi_tether_v3_1-beta6.apk You can find that file here Downloads - android-wifi-tether - Wireless Tether for Root Users - Google Project Hosting
Install it
Run it
Menu>Settings>
Change Device-Profile, select Samsung Galaxy S
Change Setup-Method, select NetD (Master)
Go back to the main screen
Click start tethering. You may get some errors reported in Wifi Tether.
This worked great for me. You can run it with encryption on or off. I did a little searching on Netd (master) and it seems as though this is different from ad-hoc (is it infrastructure mode?) Whatever it is, it tethers with the Touchpad well.
