Been having a helluva time getting the cm7.2 ('stable' release, using with mrom hv kernel) wifi tether to work. I know this works for others, so I've been digging a bit.

I can connect my laptop to my atrix via wifi, get a dhcp address assigned, but no 'net access. After checking iptables, I found that no forwarding rules of any kind are being set.

Not really sure how to approach this... I could setup a script, but I am unsure of what iptables commands are needed, and what their syntax should be for this rom/kernel configuration.

Any guidance would be appreciated!

Thanks,


K

Well, looks like its working now. Turns out the FORWARD chain kept getting set back to DROP, though I am not sure why that is occurring. I have a quick script to set ACCEPT in case it decides to revert.

What a pain in the arse...
