I don't think so, but I am going to try and work with the developers to get it working. They helped do the same for the Captivate and Vibrant.

It opens and starts but I can't see the access point.

It's entirely possible that I'm posessed and having this effect on the phones, but Wireless Tether works for me on a Captivate and Epic with root only.

which version and where did you download? As an access point? Have you actually been able to connect and use internet?

remounted my system as r/w

downloaded SuperUser by ChainsDD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828

Menu >> check for newer SU >> yes install

Downloaded and installed this wifi-tether: http://code.google.com/p/android-wif...Samsung+Galaxy

I also have busybox installed.

wifi tether shows up as an Adhoc, but not as an access point....

Download is good but upload seems like plain EVDO and not RevA.

Tried the latest from Wifi Tether and it seems to work but only in ad-hoc mode. And it is kind of slow..

After trying the latest wifi-tether, it appears to have broken my wifi. I cannot connect to my wifi network, even though wifi is turned on. AHHHH

EDIT: OMG I think I actually seriously broke my wifi. I have root enabled using the 1-click method described in the other thread. I installed busy box w/ Titanium Backup, and the latest wifi tether. I pressed tether once to try it and then disabled it. Now my WIFI DOESNT WORKKKK. It sees my wifi but when I connect... it won't connect, it just shows it's available again.
