Default WIFI tether on Cyanogen Mod 7.1.0

Need help getting WIFI tether up and running again.

Before I was running stock ROM and kernel, only rooted. Had Barnacle WIFI tether app and it worked perfectly.

Being a mac user, i didn't want to have to deal with all the extras to re-root phone after last update, and android 2.2.3 was not treating my OG Droid right, so I upgraded to Cyanogen Mod.

However, Cyanogen mod does not support WIFI tether, or wired tether to macs. I want to keep the ROM because it is sweet, but I would like to be able to stream data to my laptop again.

Other forums have suggested other kernels (like AdamZ's low voltage kernel) that may play nice with Cyanogenmod. However, I can't find a good link to some of these.

Help please, or suggest a good stable ROM that allows WIFI tethering.

Replied on CM forums as well. "Wi-Fi Tether" app works fine on my phone with CM. So does Barnacle (or it did, don't use that one much....prefer the others...)

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded WIFI tether from the market and it works.

Barnacle still doesn't work though. It goes through all the motions like it is going to work, but none of my other computers can see it. Either my phone no longer likes it, or it's something buried deep in the settings.

I wonder if it has something to do with running the App while I still had the Stock ROM installed?

So much as turning Wifi on seems to crash the phone.

Can anyone confirm that tether even works, if Wifi still crashes?

i read recently on droidlife that verizon is in the wrong to block tethering apps in the play store.
