04-23-2010 10:13 AMWell what rom are you running? I dont believe wifi tethering works on the stock kernals. Plus most roms come with the wifi tethering.

04-23-2010 10:13 AMWifi tether capability is included in most roms however if you would rather keep the stock rom then you'll need to install a custom kernel that enables wifi tether. Here is a link to ADAMZ KERNEL which enables overclock and wifi tether(you don't have to overclock) There are plenty other great and stable kernels to choose from, this is just the one I use.
Let me know if you need any help installing -

04-23-2010 12:19 PMTry Barnacle from the market. It claims to be able to do wifi tethering with just root - no custom kernel needed.
Cool CM Tricks
custom_backup_list.txt - make a list of files in /system that will survive a nightly install (ringtones, notifications, system apps, wallpapers, whatever)
in Terminal Emulator, set this as your shell command: "/system/xbin/su -c /system/xbin/bash". You get all the features of bash, root access, and you can still use the initial command field for whatever you want (default is adding /data/local/bin to your path)

04-23-2010 05:22 PMI just rooted and installed pre10 from
Downloads - android-wifi-tether - Project Hosting on Google Code
Works pretty good. My laptop (Thinkpad) gave me a little bit of trouble connecting to an ad-hoc connection. I had to specify IP address and gateway. The gateway address is .254 of whatever LAN scheme you choose.
I also has to specify DNS servers. I used Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. After that it was happy.
BTW, Chevy's low voltage kernel's work like a CHAMP!

04-30-2010 11:56 AMQuick question. Once tethered, is the connection supposed to be 'comp to comp' or a 'wireless network'? I assumed it would be a wireless network but I only see comp to comp on my end.

04-30-2010 01:17 PMIt's ad-hoc, so it shows up as such, not a wireless access point, per se.
