Thanks to Harald Mueller for staying with this. A new version has been posted that fixes wireless tether on the Aria here:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre3.apk&can=2&q=

It requires the patch described here:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/Setup_HTC_Desire_Incredible

I did not test with WEP encryption, and would not be surprised if it did not work, but mac filtering should work just fine.

Edit: Infrastructure mode and not ad-hoc mode now works with liberated_aria_R003. Encryption is also confirmed working.
I use this version with R003: wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre8.apk
And I use this bin extracted and placed into a folder called android.tether in the root of the sdcard : http://www.mediafire.com/?h4wmvi9iwdvextv

Note: The folder name MUST be exactly android.tether - and as all things Linux, it is case sensitive.

Enjoy!

Connecting to the Internet with Ubuntu...

connects, but i can't use the internet.

I used the following instructions to set up an ad hoc network connection in Ubuntu 10.04 which enabled an Internet connection from the phone (you need to enable the wifi and 3g connections on the phone, of course.)

The source is "ubuntugeek" and the title is "creating-an-ad-hoc-host-with-ubuntu"

The download speeds was 3.0 Mbps which was remarkable (it was the middle of the night when I ran the test).

I have not tested the "range" of the connection and will try connectivity in Win7 tomorrow. Could use an unlimited data plan!

i've been using pdanet on a couple rooted aria's and it works fine, not sure what this one fixes


> 2) Extract a file named fw_bcm4329_ap.bin (located in /system/etc/firmware)

is it possible for someone to upload just the one needed file

Yeah if someone could just upload that one file that would be great. That way everyone won't have to download an entire Evo system dump just for one small file.

Here is the file you are all looking for. It has already been renamed and ready to copy to the SD card. Just unrar it and you should be all set.

Ok so got it working, and I am sending this from it right now. HAHAHA! Anyway, I ran into a problem, but it has been fixed. You have to have the Evo bin file to get it to work. I originally just ripped my own file off of the system in file manager and it was bust. The log showed it accessing it, but no joy. Then I saw someone post the Evo file and now works no problem.

Thanks.

Works like a charm!!!
This is awesome!!!
Note: I didnt mount the sdcard from recovery nor access adb shell and mkdir /sdcard/android.tether
I just used windows explorer and created new folder on sd card where I unzipped the rar file. It works regardless.
Thanks everyone, this phone be on its way to being a USB host at this point due to the talented dev team!!!!

Just wanted to say that I tried to do this a couple weeks ago when I found that fix, but it didn't work at the time. I guess they did an update to the wireless tether app, and that, along with the firmware fix, got wireless tethering working on my rooted Aria.

It's somewhat slower than I was hoping for, but it works. :)

-edited to add-
I enabled WEP encryption, changed the key, and it still works just fine, not that WEP really provides any sort of protection, but at least it works.
