How do i connect to an adhoc network? I want to connect to an VGATE iCar2 WiFi OBD reader from my XA2 plus. Is it possible in Sailfish OS 3.2.1.20?

The short answer would be: No, ad-hoc mode is not supported by connman (the network manager used by SfOS),

The slightly longer answer is: Maybe, if you're feeling adventurous, you can try to establish a connection manually using iw/ip: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad%2dhoc_networking#Manual_method

In theory this should work, just like on any other Linux machine. You probably need to stop connman first...
