I rooted my phone recently to use wifi tethering with my new transformer. Haven't had much luck finding a stable tethering app. One I tried was open garden but it isn't very stable. What's the best one?

use bluetooth tether

just pair the droid 2 to your transformer and use the bluetooth tether option in the Asus transformer.
it's faster and uses sooo much less battery then than wifi tether and u dont need to root!!
i do it all the time works like a charm

I downloaded wireless tether and it does seem to work very well. Maybe its because I'm running it on CM7

I'm using Barnacle, free from the market. You can rename your network and secure it. It runs ad-hoc. I get 11mbps consistantly.

I'm not permitted to post the link, but I have been using Wifi Tether for Root Users v3.1beta2 and it seems to be working better than ever. Make sure you select DroidX as your device profile.

How is that even possible? I am jealous, but still skeptical...

It's not, I just speedtested it, I feel stupid now for going over the mouseover link in the systray. Sorry for misleading. It's actually 1mbps and .56mpbs upload. Still, faster than my sprint 4g aircard that work has me using.

Thanks, man! FINALLY got a wireless tether app to work on my D2 with Gingerbread 2.3.3. I tried a bunch of others and none of them actually connected out to the internet.

Like derezzer says, select DroidX as your device profile. In addition, i also selected Change Setup-Method to Hostapd (master). So far, so good.

Pdanet works for wired tether. Wifi does not. If u are looking for a tether that works for, lets say, tablets or gaming systems, and not a computer, i haven't found one that works. If its just for a pc, use with tether for root users
