    Did you download the wireless tether app from the market?

    I only have the Tethering option in system Settings (and it only shows a USB tethering option).

    No WiFi hotspot here either...

    As many people have stated before me, wifi tethering is not built into this leaked version of 2.2. Apps2sd is not either.

    App2SD is in the leaked version FroYo App2SD only works on apps the devs have enabled it on try downloading the abduction game to test this

    The wireless tethering feature is not enabled in this release as the source code for the new wireless driver has not been released yet. Currently, the only way that Wi-Fi can be enabled in 2.2 is by hacking the 2.6.32 kernel to support the old driver. The old driver does not have the capability to act as an access point so the hotspot feature would not work anyway. The old driver does support ad-hoc mode so the android-wifi-tether program still works.

    Downloads - android-wifi-tether - Project Hosting on Google Code

    Download the first one, give it permissions from superuser, and TADA. Works great on Froyo.
