The app wireless tether does not work for me anymore. It says wireless tether has started with errors. I check the log and many things failed such as setting channel, setting essid, setting ad-hoc mode, and activating wifi interface. How can I get this to work? Running CM7 with the HDMI kernel.
Same here. I tried to reinstall and it doesn't work. I'm using UD and Myn's.
doesn't work on cm7 with savage zen either
no errors but nothing will see it when scanning
The only thing I have got to work is Barnacle..and also the built in hot spot works well too.
I've been having the same issue. Barnacle works but that only does an adhoc network, so my PS3 and Kindle won't connect to it
Works fine on my stock 2.2 Evo. Just used it today.

I had the same problem, but I was able to get it working with version 2.08-pre1 ***Experimental***. The latest version did not work for me on CM7 nightly, and the native one didn't work either, but the version above works like a charm!
Native one works perfect for me on CM7 build 22.
Works great on ava z3 rom for 3g as for 4g I have to use the green tether or i get the you have not subscribed to this service call sprint like yea I'm gonna pay to use 4g and kill my battery

go into rom manager and choose fix permissions.. bingo!
if that doesnt work check wifi settings and make sure that you dont already have a preinstalled tethering app ( some newer roms like destroyer have this built in )
Try a different kernel

I rooted my Fascinate, mostly to be able to WiFi tether it for my laptop and the Kindle I'm getting soon.
I've tried WiFi Android Tether app, Barnacle, and Barnacle Legacy.
The Barnacle App would give me an error along the lines of "Can't find eth0", then Barnacle Legacy(previous version) app did not give me an error but the laptop will just say "Connecting" then never actually connect.
I have the same problem with the WiFi Android Tether App where it keeps "Connecting" but never connects.
I don't think it is my laptop because I never have a problem connecting to any other WiFi...
I've looked everywhere but I can't find any help!!

Almost sounds like you're not fully rooted. Do you see the Superuser app in your app list? Also, did these apps ever prompt you to allow root access?

yes
yes to superuser app.
the ADB prog says i am rooted
other root progs like SETCPU work
and the root progs ask for superuser permissions and i can set them

I must be missing something, cause I'm a noob, but what is widow tether & where can I get it? Tried 2 barnacles & 3 wifi tethers with no success.

You need to use the wireless tether 2.0.5 pre9, not the latest version.
That one works 100%.
Newest ones don't. This is already covered somewhere in the stickies.

i am using Pre9. Thats the one I was originally using when the problem occured.
I'm using wireless tether pre11 right not and so far so good. I kept getting an issue where wireless tether would work for a short time (about 1 to 2 MB of data) and then would hang. pre11 is working good so far without this issue. give it s shot. you can always drop back to an older version.
I'm having the same problem, my Vista laptop sees the network and won't connect, my wife's Windows 7 netbook will connect now problem, so I know the phone is working right, it has to be something with Vista 64

I've had no problems with pre11...I've only used it a few times, but I did stream an entire episode on Hulu on my desktop and it worked without a hitch. I am on OSX.
FWIW, I happened to root & installl barnacle last night on my Fascinate. Barnacle worked happily once I made sure that A)Superuser automatically allows barnacle permissions and B) Skip wpa_supplicant was checked. I've only had an hour or two of testing, but no glitches.
Info: SCH-I500[RKAVZW] - i500.04, 2.1-update1, 2.6.29
Barnacle: Encryption: Off Access Control: unchecked, Ch:1 Custom Wifi Ad-hoc: none, Skip wpa_supplicant: checked, pp0, eth0, DHCP: 1200s lease, NAT 32000, 300, 100, 30, 90
I use Easy Tether and it works flawlessly.
Not sure exactly what is going on with your issue...however FWIW:
Any build of Wireless Tether would cut out on me occasionally - it wouldn't drop connection permanently, but rather for several seconds.
I use tethering to play online games that require a constant stream of data. Barnacle Wifi Tether Legacy works flawlessly. Never lose connection.
Are we looking at a fluke kernel issue with the OP's question?
I have tried all of these options and can't get any to work. The only thing that does is the stock hotspot app I reprogrammed from a thread here. How are you getting this to work? Do I need to remove the vzw hotspot app first?

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Doesn't work and messes up the built in tether. As far as I know if you've used the wireless tether, the only way to get the built in tether to work is to reflash.
Built in tether is located here:
Menu>Settings>Wireless & Networks>Tethering and Hotspot.
Wireless Tether doesn't work...have to use the native tethering app, or use barnacle tethering.
Native tethering works.

^^What got it working again?
As far as WT being better, it has more options like being able to see who's connected and keep track of how much data you're using. But it doesn't work so it's not better
Wireless Tether will let you do so with 4G as well, native hotspot won't do 4G with the hack.
Wait, native tether doesn't do 4G? So I've been turning on 4G and tethering for nothing?
Is there a trick to getting the tether to work on 4g? I can connect but no data transfers to my laptop? 3g works just fine.
It works really well for me
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...ions-of-wifi-tether-app-for-evo-21-wont-work/
I didn't want to start another thread, so I'll post here.
Has this been remedied? The native tether hasn't worked for me either. I've wiped data/dalvik/cache and still nothing.
Suggestions?
No problem with mine. Maybe its just the 4g service?

...4g native wireless tether works for me on the last released nightly, however, is useless for me to use as it is constantly disconnecting ( I tether to xbox)...I have no problems with sense roms as I just got done with gears 3 for 4 hrs straight. If I switch back to cm7, it'll disconnect within 5 minutes...hope it gets fixed soon cus I reeaaalllyyy miss my cm...
4g tether works fine with a sense ROM, but I really like CM7. It's worked for the first day, then it stopped. Would get failed error codes. Wipe, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reflash CM7 reboot hasn't done anything to fix the problem.
I've tried wireless tether 2.0.5 --> 3.1
None have worked. They would start, but get hung up at (download) speed: .4kbs and .1kbs (upload)
Does your native tether turn on after 'wireless tether'? Mine does, so on the top notification bar it shows both running. But it doesn't connect.
I'd like to get back to using CM7 (my favorite so far) but I can't since using the tether is how I get internet access at home.
Have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046764
works for me ever since i did it.
Tether, 3G and 4G has always worked for me.
Has anyone had any luck tethering their Tab 10.1 to an Android phone running Cyanogen Mode 7?
I am able to get tether my Tab to every ROM I've had so far except for CM7.
I've tried Barnacle, WiFi Tether 3, the Hotspot setting under CM7. Nothing works with the Tab.
Keeps saying 'Obtaining IP address ...' but never connects.

hmmm... Mine works beautifully. There is a wifi tethering option built into CM7, and when i turn it on the tablet is able to connect and it all works well. I am on a SGT 10.1 Wifi tethered to a Mytouch 4G if that helps.
Oh..forgot to mention that I'm using an HTC Droid Incredible. That may help in troubleshooting.

Finally able to connect.
I was trying to use WiFi Tether 3.0, because that was on the only app that worked prior to installing CM7 on my phone.
It seemed to no longer work for me using CM7.
I tried Barnacle Tether app, but still had no luck.
Wireless Tether 2.0.7 was the app I was using in the past, but my Tab wouldn't connect to it because it was using ad-hoc
I decided to give it a shot, since I had no luck with the other apps.
For some reason Wireless Tether 2.0.7 works fine with the Tab while running CM7 on my phone.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
Did you test to see if any other device besides your Tab could connect to your hotspot? It doesn't sound like the Tab was the problem.
Wireless Tether was the app I was always using to tether. I was running stock SenseUI rooted. After getting my tab, I noticed that it would not connect like all my other devices would. Someone told me about WiFi Tether 3 Experimental, it worked. Something to do with the Tab not being able to connect in ad-hoc mode.
Once I installed CM7, it no longer worked. I tried Barnacle while running CM7. My netbook connected, but my Tab didn't for some reason. I then decided to go back to my old app, Wireless Tether, to see if it would work, and it did.
This is the same app that wouldn't connect to my Tab running SenseUI, but it connected fine running CM7.
The built-in one on CM7 is the best in my opinion, but in order for it to work you need to uninstall all the aftermarket ones and reboot. For some reason the aftermarket ones mess with the built-in one.
I agree that using Settings -> Wireless & Network -> Tethering is much nicer than any of the standalone apps.

Mine just work fine, but it does give me hard time in the office. It'll get connected for few seconds and then disconnect. It keeps doing the same thing. By the way, I'm using the Mosaic VI built for Captivate, that has inbuilt tethering as most custom roms have. Other than office place, it works absolutely fine even when I'm on commuter bus.

Uninstalling the aftermarket apps allowed the one for CM7 to connect. Is there a way to create a shortcut to enable it in CM7?
I have CM7.1 nightly 143 on my Evo and built in tethering works fine, I am even able to tether 4G.
Wireless Tether app used to work when I was on the stable version of CM7 but once I upgraded to RC1 WT stopped working and caused built in tether to not work as well.
Once I deleted WT then built in started working again.

That's interesting. I'm running CM7 nightly builds on my Captivate and paired it with the Tab via Bluetooth, turned off WiFi on the Tab and it instantly said Bluetooth tethered. (There is a larger BT icon on the Tab and the Captivate shows Portable Hotspot blue icon in the notification menu)
I was surprised with how seamless it all was, was pleasantly surprised by it because I was only pairing it to use TexTab and something possessed me to try turning the WiFi off.

You have to use the native tether hotspot to work with the Xoom. or you will need to modify the WPA file on the Xoom if you will be using any other tethering app that uses Ad-Hoc. If your using the Android tether app you'll need to choose the Facinate phone.

Wifi tether will work, you just have to get the settings right. Open the app, hit Menu, then hit the checkboxes next to "Enable MSS clamping" and "Enable Routing-fix". After that you should be good to go.
