[gentoo-user] Android tether and wpa_supplicant

[Fredrik Andersson <sir.sedrik@gmail.com>]

Hi fellow gentoo users

I'm trying to connect my laptop to my HTC Hero using wpa_supplicant,
has anyone done this?

this is what I see in wpa_cli when I do scan_result

#bssid / frequency / signal level / flags / ssid
#02:23:76:81:26:67      2412    240     [IBSS]  G1

And according to the example wpa_supplicant.conf this should allow me
to connect to a IBSS network.
network={
       ssid="G1"
       mode=1
       frequency=2412
       proto=WPA
       key_mgmt=NONE
       pairwise=NONE
       group=TKIP
       #psk="abcdefghijklm"
}

I have tried the connection in Windows and that works, so the phone is working.

Any help is greatly appreciated :)
