2.1 and tethering

To the few who have the 2.1 update (manual or otherwise) Can you still use PdaNET to tether??

I'm still 2.0.1

So technically to be 100% legal, just call up Verizon Wireless and get the additional $30/month for the "tethering" and it should be ok to use my Droid as a 3g wireless internet card. Right?

I'm running the 2.1 that PETE posted yesterday. The "wireless tether for root users" app didn't work until I put Chevys overclocking kernel on it. I can vouch that that app works just fine.

something you don't have to worry about.....answers your looking for is non-root (stock) 2.1 tethering with PDAnet or another app.

from what I've read thus far you are still able to tether....

The answer is yes you can tether wifi and 3G still. I use pdanet and everything still runs the exact same.
