For those who claim WiFi tether won't work on froyo. Well, I'm running Ava V5 as my Rom with the stock HTC kernel, and WiFi tether pre 8.
The drawback is that its the stock kernel, but I'm more of a productivity user, so if you can deal with a stock kernel, then try it and start tethering again.
Just trying to help those who are frustrated they can't use tether for their netbooks.
Edit**
Loaded netarchy kernel from Ava's v5 page and pre 8 was not working, so uninstalled and loaded pre 4 WiFi and everything is working great. So I guess if your tether isn't working on your current kernel try using older versions of googles WiFi tether before complaining to the great devs
on this site!

First of all, wrong section. I'll move to General where it belongs.
Secondly, does your rom support net filtering? If you don't know then at least tell us what kind of rom you're using.
i apologize, i did not change rom. its stock i only rooted to access a minor overclock and tether features. last time i rooted my phone i used a different method and had a caynogen 6 something rom froyo lookalike . and the stock rom the root i did last time did it also. if i need to load a custom rom then please let me know which one is best for the features i need

Ask the developer of your rom if the kernel supports netfiltering. If it's pure stock then that's your problem.
Update! Just an fyi. I got it to work very nicely simply by adjusting the frequency in the application's settings.
Question about tethering with the Epic 4G above Rom. Does the "[ROM][STOCK] EB13 - Deodexed Update from DI18 | Pre-rooted" Rom make the Sprint Hotspot app work? Or is there a recommeded tethering app?
No.
Wireless Tether
or if you want infrastructure and the same speed of sprints hotspot and care to be adventuress (sp) you can try the wifi tether 3.0.0 pre10 version. Its actually the sprint app but hacked into a wifi tether app.
Nandroid back up before testing this one.
so wifi tether 3.0.0 pre10 version works with infrastructure mode on eb13??
please tell me yes!!
(i went back to the evo because of this)

It works for me, in infrastructure mode, and 3g/4g are both working. Didn't extensively test it so I'm not sure about stability but while it was working, it did everything.
Hi all. Does anyone know if mobile ap will be available with 2.2? I used it on 2.1 but can't find a signed install.zip. I know since eb13 is brand new so I don't mind waiting. If not, wha is a go alternative other than wireless tether?

Wireless Tether is even better then Mobile AP....and wireless tether is available on the market
Awesome. I will give it a go.

In 2.2 the hotpsot app is built in directly into the Settings.apk...this makes it a bit trickier to port...
As stated try Android-Wifi-Tether from the market..if you need Inferstructure tethering..you need to then download the 3.0 beta
3.0pre10 is the latest beta for it:
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wifi_tether_v3_0-pre10.apk
Does wifi-tether work with any of the EB13 kernels? It's not working for me on genocide. I didn't know if it was worth trying out different kernels and/or versions of wifi-tether.
I am using Wifi Tether v3_0-pre10.apk right now on stock EB13, infrastructure.
If it crashes/restarts your phone:
1. reboot your phone
2. go to App Management, and clear app cache.
3. start & stop Wifi Tether with 4G and Wifi DISABLED.
4. start Wifi Tether again, when its running, then you can turn 4G back on.

Working fine for me on Genoice v.1a (DK28) ... shouldn't matter if it's DK28 or EB13, the kernel is hardly different for the 2 versions

Thanks. It says it needs a custom kernel, which is why I thought that might be the problem, but I'll try the newer (pre10) version.
I'm running the Fresh Evo 4.0 Beta 4 (4.0.0.4). I can't seem to get wifi tethering to work. The app starts and recognizes my devices. I can use access control and authorize but no dice. Any recommendations?

Go download the newest wifi tether app.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_0-pre14.apk&can=2&q=
That fixed it for me.
Retreat
That was the version in the Fresh rom. I downgraded to 2.0.7 from 3.0-pre13 and wifi tethering works again. Thanks for your reply.

Has anyone been able to run a Android wifi tether on the DInc in infrastructure mode? If so, what's your setup (ie. ROM, kernel, wifi tether version)?
Mine seems to be working I connected my wifes evo thru my dinc. From what I understand thats only possible in infastructure mode. My rom / kernel info is in my sig and im using wifi tether for root v3.1-beta-6. Didnt do anything special except update to the latest wifi tether app from here. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
