[Request] WLAN Ad-Hoc mode
Since I am not always around WLAN networks but most of the time have a LAN connection and have my notebook with me I tried to open up a Ad-Hoc Network to connect to the internet with my Jolla.
But as I saw connecting to Ad-Hoc is not supported. But would be pretty helpful, and I don't think that I'm the only one who would love such a feature.
Hope you can help with this and add such a feature or give hints for a workaround.
EDIT: To clear it up. I opened a network from my notebook and connect to it with my jolla, wich isn't working, since jolla can't connect to adhoc networks.
Ad hoc networks are good also for making ad hoc networks, i.e. to connect multiple devices in a room without a central WLAN router. Sometimes very useful!

I was able to install app but it wasn't big surprise it didn't make connection to wifi sd card... But the first step would be get adhoc connections available on Sailfish level.
