Hi every one.

I can't connect my Blackberry Playbook via Wi-fi Hotspot of my N9 : the N9 network is not listed on my playbook. What's the problem

N9 WiFi hotspot is only AdHoc mode, maybe Blackberry requires infrastructure mode...

Yep, just like the Barnes & Noble Nook and the PS3, the BB Playbook does not support Ad Hoc WiFi out of the box.

Works fine on my Nook Color running CM7 but then again that is not an "out of the box" approach.

I remember nexus one had to be rooted to have adhoc enabled, so probably stock roms have it disabled by default
