After you temp root install this Android wifi-tether: http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre10.apk
Ok, this works great! Thanks guys.
I was getting errors running the wifi.sh until I actually ran:
I'll need to remember how to set it up with Anycut now.
Thanks HamNCheese, bentglasstube, tefari, sherifone...

Here's a workaround to get things working (for now)

Update: Encryption works w/ android-wifi-tether pre-11 and VISIONary! I haven't tested to see if VISIONary fixed the issue or if the new version of a-w-t fixed the issue...
This works for me without encryption only. Same with android-wifi-tether. I am going to grep to find out where the config is stored from the hidden WiFi AP menu but I am wondering if it is a driver issue... In the source for android-wifi-tether they comment on the hardware detection:
"we really need a better method to detect such stuff."
I also noticed that for the method mentioned in this thread you have to kill dnsmasq if you toggle the AP setting off and want to use it at a later time. I added it to my wifi.sh:

Like mikebot and others, I was getting this error message when running wifi.sh. After poking at it today, i figured out my problem and got it to work!
I'd created the wifi.sh using TextPad, it's an app like Notepad++, and I like it because it's a bit more robust than plain ol' Notepad. After I used adb push to get it to the phone, anytime I ran it I'd get those errors. Then I looked at the file on the phone. It looked just liked I entered it, with a /M at the end of each line!
It's something to do with how Windows/DOS treats text files, versus how UNIX based systems treat text files. Now, in textpad, my solution was to go to File > SaveAs, and change the save type to "Text file - UNIX". I believe Notepad++ can also do this, but the stock Notepad in windows does not.
So, if your wifi.sh isn't working, look at on your phone in Terminal Emulator (I used 'vi wifi.sh' to do so), and see if there's extra characters at the end of each line. If so, there's your problem.
If anyone is really struggling with this I would suggest installing VISIONary (avail. in the market as of 10/18/10) and installing android-wifi-tether (pre-11 worked for me WITH encryption.) Makes this very very simple.

About the tethering without encryption, I noticed it failed when I use encryption option.
Without encryption, it works just fine. Given rooted of course.

I'd wait till somebody reports.

There is already proof in the general section about the OTA. And its real apparently

But ya know, I'd like someone to take a video and prove it. Maybe I'm just being a skeptic but pictures just aren't justifying the claim for me.
They aren't going to give you tethering for free in any OTA... Not after reducing the data cap and reminding everyone that it's prohibited just couple of days ago...
They're going from throttling at 10GB to throttling at 5GB and they've always allowed tethering on all their blackberries so I don't know why they would nix it in an android device.
Could be worse, we could be paying an extra 15 dollars to access 2GB using the computer instead of the phone.
Umm, that's wifi calling NOT wifi hotspot. No connection at all. One allows you to make calls over wifi and the other lets you share your internet connection with other devices.
