== set static ip * ip/ ifconfig/ iwconfig (busybox): command doesn't work properly and only have some effect when 'static ip' is activated from NetworkManager. - <del>iwconfig can't set Ad-Hoc mode or ssid (unknown command). wrong param essid!.

1. these binary doesn't work properly in cm 7?? compile new?
2. test on normal rom??</del>

• set static ip from app: (all information must be filled including dns1 dns2). When using static ip is choosen from app, nexus s seems to use the configured static ip but network brocks immediately after ip is applied and return to searching.
• investigate dhcpcd for support of ip4ll.

== adhoc

• cm 7 sees available ad-hoc network. but has ip problem when associating. Someone has successful connect to an Adhoc network with a dhcp node.
• ⇒ successful manually load firmware and start ad-hoc with ip/iwconfig.
• write app to setup ad-hoc bypassing android framework.
  • edify - serval or insmod in c code.
  • ⇒ learn to write app in c/c++
    • ⇒ compile c++ for android.
    • ⇒ execute external command from c++ binary.
  • ⇒ execute external binary as root (insmod..):
    • ⇒ create a su-wrapper script: http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/issues/detail?id=184
    • start a separated binary executor as root (init.rc) with a socket to receive request for execution of a command. –> try this c code that executes insmod.
  • Auto detect firmware.
    • directory structure/ configuration files to store device specific firmware data.
  • network profiles.
    • data structure.
    • implement add wifi networks.
  • start/stop network.
    • ⇒ wifi button triggers load/unload Driver.
    • — enable adhoc network: get current adhoc network settings from system prop.
    • ⇒ run dhcpcd to get zeroconf IP.
    • handle intent Wifichangedstate_action to apply IP configuration.
