Can your tablets see Ad Hoc Networks? I am seriously contemplating a Archos 101, but I am concerned as to whether or not your tablets can see ad hoc networks (like when using wireless tether). If they can't it may be a deal breaker for me as I often tether with my Evo. I know by default, Android can't see ad hoc networks so inquisitive minds are wondering.

Thanks

There is a wpa_supplicant hack that allows adhoc to work on a number of tablets... I got it working for the zt-180 tablets based on some notes I found in other tablet threads with some system specific changes but it has been done on at least a few models...
