Wifi Tethering After Root possible?

---

I rooted my phone and since I'm like everyone else and don't want to pay 30 a month for wifi tethering, I downloaded 2 apps that do that: Barnacle's and the other wifi tethering app. Neither of them work, anyone have any ideas how to get this accomplished? I figured that since we have root now and there are netfilters in the kernel that we shouldn't have a problem.

I can't get Wifi Tethering for Root Users to work either

Try different versoins of wifi tether. I know on the hero side 1.6 was the only one that worked

to clarify, this is with android 2.1 using the userdebug RUU, not stock 2.1 or froyo 2.2, right?

now that you have ADB access, when you open one of the apk files to test it, can you monitor logcat and paste the results/errors it throws back here for us.
those of us w/o an EVO yet, less than 24 hrs, can try our best to help troubleshoot and give recommendations. hopefully it won't be too difficult!

just throwing out ideas to help speed up the process, not sure how much detail will help them?
might want to include version number of the userdebug rooted RUU we're using and/or radio version?

Joey, give me a few minutes to figure this out and then I'll post the logcat.

When I said that Wireless Tether for Root Users didn't work for me, I was on the Froyo custom ROM with root.

It shouldn't be working on the rooted stock 2.1 either. If you get it working, please let us know how you did it!
