Wireless Tether Not working correctly

---

Let me identify my current setup:

* Unrevoked3/Unrevoked-Forever ROOT/S-OFF
* CyanogenMod 8/27 Nightly (Also had RC2)
* 2.6.32.15 Kernel
* Froyo (latest) Radio image

What I'm trying to do is startup the tether application (Wireless Tether for Root Users).

It starts up, i allowed permission to run the startup for the tether app. And tried to connect a computer to the network. It sucessfully connects, but does not get an IP address.

In the wifi-tether's log, I see one entry that says:

error: SIOCSIFFLAGS (Cannot assign requested address)

Again the su privelages work fine. I'm currently running pre8, but ive tried maybe six different versions of the application.

It seems that the DHCP server isnt running, which is odd since wifi-tether doesnt complain. I'll be able to pull logs later but i have one question: Is this a kernel-related issue, should I go back to CM6-RC1 (2.1) to solve this problem, or should I set the phone on fire?

cm6 has its own wifi tether application. use that. report results.

edit:

its in settings->wireless->tether & hotspot.

Specifically I'd ideally like to do bluetooth tethering which definately worked before on my nexus one. Are the hardware profiles similiar between the N1 and the EVO?

I'll check the native app and report back.

the native app doesnt have bt tethering. however the wifi tether app does. people have reported using it with out problem.

So the native tethering app works perfectly. Of course bluetooth tether would be better in my case, but this is definately better than nothing.

Im also having the same issues I too can't retrieve an ip address. Would the radio have something to do with it?

I've tried the 2.1 Radio (Stock) and the froyo OTA radio. I'm checking out logcat now.
