Connect my Android phone to a WiFi hotspot from my laptop I want to connect my rooted HTC Ville to a WiFi hotspot I made with my  laptop, since I don't have WiFi at home. I'm running fedora 20 on my laptop and CM 11 on my HTC One S.

I can see the WEP secured WLAN with my handy but it doesn't connect.

Do you have any ideas why and how to fix it?
Stock Android doesn't support ad-hoc WiFi networks.

If you have a rooted device, it's possible to work around this limitation as described here. Basically you can install a custom ROM that has this feature enabled, or manually configure the wpa-supplicant, or if you are feeling adventurous you can compile your own patched copy of wpa-supplicant that fools Android into thinking that ad-hoc networks are regular infrastructure mode access points.
