No Netfilter on wireless tethering

[terraglide]

I'm using a droid running 2.1 w/bb 1.0. when I launch wireless tether app
I get the error message "no netfilter! sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for running this application." Then if i choose ignore and proceed, I get another message "couldnt install file-/data/data/android.tether/bin/dnsmasq!

Did you verify that the kernel you installed supports tethering?

It's bugless beast 1.0, i believe it does

I do not know what to tell you. I always installed an OC kernel which typically included the wifi tethering. I read the specs for BB and it says wifi and oc are included. I did a search for the error and found this
Issue 301 - android-wifi-tether - kernel does not have all features? - Project Hosting on Google Code

I'd reflash, and pull down a different version of Wifi Tether. That error seems consistent with a versioning problem between Tether and the kernel.

I'm running Wifi Tether version 2.0 on BB1.0 with the 1.1Ghz Bekit LV kernel. You should be able to do the same...

ok I guess re flashing sounds like the thing to do, I'll report after i'm done.

Thanks

How did you make out?

 

[terraglide]

I'm making progress, but i'm not running yet. I get an error in the dropdown menu on the droid "wireless tether-AC disabled"

 

[terraglide]

I forgot to mention that i did a wipe & re flashed

 

[terraglide]

when i go into wireless tether controls, it won't allow me to enable access controls

 

[LtKen]

What version of Wifi Tether are you running? 2.0 works perfectly for me.

I've been using barnacle and like it

Did you turn access enable on in the setup?

I have been trying to help him and it seems that he has a problem with the super user. When I first install an app that needs root access it will ask me if I want to allow and there is a check mark that keeps me from being asked this again. He is not being asked this when he starts the program up. When you open the super user you can see a sort of log that shows what process that supper user is allowing. I have about four entries. He has none. so it is acting like Super user is not doing its thing. I can help him if you guys can give me your thoughts. You all have been a great help to me and I would like to take and acting part in helping someone else as he lives close to me. I kind of talked him into getting this phone.
