Wifi tether

[gregie]

it works kinda slow but I was able to install app called hotspot toggle and I was able to pick it up on my ipad and netbook took awhile to get an ip but it worked!! I haven't figured out how to change the settings to put a wpa and stuff but indeed a nice solution for now till a root occurs

Great find. !

This is also useful on nexus one as I don't have to go through all the hassle to turn on hotspot.
Great, I'll go out to buy G2 this week!
But how can I change the mobile hotspot settings on G2 when it's hidden?

Good question. I would like to know. Have yet to make a successful connection. But it is sending out a wifi connection. Just can't obtain a ip address. Only tried to connect N1. And to tired to find my laptop. Will try in the am. And post back

some people also tried it here:

apparently it broadcasts a SSID but doesn't assign a ip guess tmo knew what they were doing. pretty sure we could overcome this with root.

According to what OP said, it may take a while to get IP.
I found the writter and I'll ask him to put additional mobile hotspot settings on his application.

Awesome! Shows up as Open Connection - connected ...

releasing and attempting to renew now ...


EDIT:

Didn't pull an IP - I'm not convinced that there is a DHCP server running on Vision with just toggling the connection.
I now have a reason to install a Terminal Emulator and check out IFCONFIG xD


....

Tried IFCONFIG under normal and temp Root - nothing displays

Was this part of busybox previously?

The problem is: both easytether and PDAnet don't work with Cradlepoint routers.
