Hi all, I just recently updated my Defy from CM7 RC1v2 to a nightly (110825-0058). Back when I was on RC1, I used Wifi Tether from the market and followed the instructions on a modaco thread (pushing the hostapd from an update zip into /system/bin), and was able to share my 3g data over wifi flawlessly. Now after upgrading to the nightly, Wifi tether no longer works (getting an error in the log that says failed to intialize wifi and hostapd. The stock Portable Wifi hotspot feature in the Wireless/Network settings also won't allow me to share 3g data (It only seems to work, I'm getting the portable hotspot active icon in the notification area and can successfully connect to my phone AP, but I get limited connectivity and am unable to open any web pages. I've checked my ip settings and everything is fine (same settings i used back in RC1). My 3G data is also enabled, and am able to browse the web just fine on the phone. Upon checking system info, my kernel is already 179-4 (which is what supposedly works with the wifi hotspot feature accdg. to the main CM7 dev thread). PLEASE HELP.....I used this feature a lot and had no problems with it back in RC1....
