Default Wireless Tether

Has anyone gotten wireless tether to work? I know the built-in hotspot is free for another month or so, but I'm looking beyond that.

I haven't tried it yet, but wouldn't the Barnacle Wifi Tether app work now that we can rollback and re-root?

Yeah it definitely doesn't work for me. It also shows up as an ad-hoc connection in my available networks. From what I remember with my Evo, it showed up as a normal wifi network? What does it show as for you guys?

Wifitether only sets up ad-hoc unless the kernel was modified such in some builds i found of EVO and Droid Incredible. If you want infrastructure mode instead of ad-hoc you need to use the built in wifithether

Oh man, if you could get the built in one to work forever and have a few extra options, like channel, authentication, etc, that would be awesome. I realize the other wifi tether kinda works, but the stock one seems to be really stable.

How does the wifi hotspot check to see if it is still free?
Because I tried running Droid Wall and nothing showed up in the log.
Current: Droid Charge: 2.3.4 GummyCharged GBE 1.5
Current: HTC Thunderbolt: BAMF Sense 3.0 RC5

LG VX4400> Samsung SCH-A950> Samsung I760> Touch Pro> Touch Pro 2> OG Droid>
