In addition to getting the UI, these are the other pieces: - the driver needs to support it. As I understand, the ti wlan driver from AOSP does not support it. - the network daemon (look at system/netd) IOCTL interface is broadcom specific. You need to either use the driver specific IOCTLs or

Hi Gururaja You need to add two entries to get the interface as follows :- string-array translatable=false name=config_tether_wifi_regexs /string-array string-array translatable=false name=config_tether_upstream_regexs /string-array But still, it will not work, as per my knowledge you need

Hi Yogesh Below are section of my config.xml. !-- List of regexpressions describing the interface (if any) that represent tetherable USB interfaces. If the device doesn't want to support tething over USB this should be empty. An example would be usb.* -- string-array

Hi Gururaja, I am not sure, but I thinks it represent the interfaces. And regarding WiFi tethering to work, you need some driver, I am not sure, in fact I am also looking for it. It you find some thing just reply. -Yogesh On Sep 1, 4:18 pm, guru guru.nav...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Yogesh Thank

That does not make any sense as the foo* interfaces are not even being used with this config. Should be: string-array translatable=false name=config_tether_upstream_ regexs itemusb\\d/item itemsoftap\\d/item /string-array On Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 10:41 AM, yogesh

You should not list softap as an upstream connection. Those should be your connections to the internet, typically client mode wifi and cellular ifaces. On Sep 1, 2010 5:52 AM, Mali Laurent i.m.laur...@gmail.com wrote: That does not make any sense as the foo* interfaces are not even being used

Doing this on the emulator doesn't make much sense - I don't think it will have real wifi access, so a wifi hotspot won't work. You can turn on the UI though by adding a fake interface name or regex to the config_tether_wifi_regexs resource - foo\d would work for example. The UI will appear but
