1. Is wireless tether working for you? No
2. What kernel are you using? HTC#11
3. Did you update from 2.1 or flash 2.2 after wiping: Tried both
EDIT:
full wipe, stock kernel.
Downloaded a terminal emulator and deleted the wireless tether that wasn't showing up with this command:
pm uninstall android.tether
I then installed the apk from the extras folder through Astro file manager.
Wireless tether is working, access control works...confirmed connection through a laptop.
Unfortunately, I have no service in this building so I won't be able to test actual speeds/connection until lunch time.
Edit2: Went to a location with an actual 3g connection and wasn't able to actually open up any webpages with the laptop. All the settings were correct and otherwise the service seemed to be working, but in the end no go.
