Thanks for this! I got it working. Verified it by connecting to my wireless n router. showed 65mbps.
My question is, I also have wireless tethering, but it is still using G. Anybody know how to make wireless tethering use N?

Can someone who has a proper dev environment setup also compile/post the module for bnep? I would like to take a crack at getting bluetooth PAN working with wireless tethering, but bnep is awol.
OR, if you can help me get my compiler setup in OS x (10.6.4). The site I found for android source claimed to not support snow leopard. I don't know if this is true or not. I'm getting errors running both of the make commands (even using the darwin-x86) setup.
Thanks if you can help

Yea, I have that same issue, I can't remember what I got with the other driver for speed, but my PC gets around 45Mbps down 7Mbps up, and I only got 7Mbps down 2Mbps up through speedtest.net and speedtest.net app. (connected to a 802.11g currently using the 802.11n driver. Will switch back and post results.
Well I'm aware of that
... However, 11g speeds are still higher than most WAN speeds. In this specific case I indicated I'm connected to an 11g connection on which my computer (also connected to the same 11g wireless router) gets 45MBps down, where as my phone is able to obtain no higher than around 7Mbps.However, paring having to defend my own intelligence (either human nature, or just I'm jack... well you know
) I can also defend the driver posted, in that when reverting back to the original driver, I get the same results, indicating the low WAN speed is a result of some other part of the phone. My original fear was that the 11n driver had an adverse effect on the 11g portion, it does not.If you are using Ad-hoc mode to tether, I don't think you can do 11n. Ad-hoc mode doesn't support N as far as I know. The EVO and Nexus One with Froyo use infrastructure mode for tethering, and actually make the phone into an AP by downloading different firmware to the WiFi chip. Take a look at the driver at android.git.kernel.org. The AP mode firmware only supports 11g at present.
11b, 11g... doesn't matter to me. Is there someone working on a driver to use Infrastructure mode on the Incredible? Or are we stuck to Ad-Hoc mode for a while. My company laptop has a group-policy in place to prevent use of Ad-Hoc networks. So I am using Bluetooth for tether and would much rather have wifi.
I am sure whomever wrote the patch for infrastructure mode would be the savior of the mobile xbox360 guy who is routing through a Laptop.
Thank you Mucho! I can now switch my router to N only since I have no devices that use b or g any longer... Woot!
No N on wireless

i managed to do this while in clockworkmod recovery after mounting system and sdcard within recovery. everything went off without a hitch. no errors. now to my problem, my phone connects to router as long as i have it set to some kind of mixed setting (currently G/N Mixed) but at any given time i change it to just N my phone will see it but wont connect. While connected in mixed mode i only get 54Mbps. Any ideas? im using a Linksys WRT160n V3 running Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (01/02/10) mini. TIA for any help

in my opinion does a better range but then again it could be going from a Netgear router to a Linksys was the difference. I got this Linksys router and it worked for about 3months then started dropping Ip's to my Pcs. After some research i found it was a common problem in the factory firmware and updated mine to Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (01/02/10) mini. Which solved my problems. I have great performance with this router but not sure its cause it has N or because its just a better router.
I know the benefits of a N router. I dont think the benifits are worth buying a new router since my G router works fine. I am wondering if this modification to the Incredible would be anyway benficial to me since I never plan on getting a N router.
probably not since unless you go somewhere that has N... my router is N and my laptop is to thats why i did it
Good point, I hadn't thought about if your laptop was N and you used wireless tether. But my laptop is only G also.
