I thought that one of the benefits of Froyo was that we'd have Wifi tethering, but it doesn't seem to be an option.
My question is; How do I enable Wifi tethering? Do I need to root and install Barnacle, or is there another non-rooting way?
If I need to root, is there a new one click root that I should use?

One click root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770388
Then download from here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
I downloaded the wireless_tether_2_0_7-pre1.apk version.
Tested it last night and it works.
One click took a few tries but now I have it installed
After a few tries I was finally able to root.
I installed the Wireless Tether, but I can't see my phone after starting tethering.
Is there a special way to set it up? Shouldn't it just show up in available networks?

I didn't do anything special. Mine just popped up in the available networks..
Take a look at the log and see if there were any errors.
After rooting, the wireless tethering app in the market worked great for me. I wish there was a way to do wired tether without having to use pdanet or easy tether, but oh well.

You do realize this is a service you have to pay for, right? The functionality was there from jump...you just had to pay to enable it. Nowhere was it said you'd be getting this for free....
But as others have directed...rooting your device then installing Wireless Tether is your way around this.

Why wouldn't it work with the tablet? Is it because it's in ad-hoc mode?
Is there another way to accomplish tethering with the galaxy tab?

I think the guy thought you were trying to produce the WiFi signal from your tab, not have your phone produce the signal and have your tab receive it.
I suspect it's because the tether app you have only works in adhoc mode, and not infrastructure mode.There's a thread in the Themes and Apps forum where someone got infrastructure mode working, install that version.

I suspect the tab doesn't support adhoc wifi. Go to the android tether sight
and download the latest 3.0-pre version. As of right now its up to pre10. The 3.0 versions support infrastructure mode. And so far it works well on my epic with EB13.

That could be.
Issue was ad-hoc. The latest (experimental) version has infrastructure mode (I think it turned on Sprint's Hotspot - hopefully I won't get charged).

Did you mean A500, if not where did you get an A501?
Try this:
Search the forum for 'IconiaRoot 1.2'
Works fine on HC 3.1 and no orientation BS to worry about. Also much faster and does include UNroot option.
Thanks a lot, I'll try it and give you the feedback.
No, it's A501.
I got it in my hand since the last friday.
It's not a unreleased product anymore.
I bought 3 A501.
Cheers
Sry but there is no 501....just A500.
You have three A500 units.

But my a501 cannot found the ad hoc hotspot.
I did the modification exactly following the instruction, but why it still doesn't show up the ad hoc hotspot???
Have any idea?

Check youn permissions on the ad-hoc file or the program on the phone you are tethering to.u use wireless tether switched from barnacle. As it seems faster.but cost ten bucks
Guys check the web the 501 is available but I think limited areas

Thank you. At least YOUR post was helpful unlike FATmans there. I will try my other contact and get some information on it.
1. Did you make sure USB Debugging is turned on?
2. Did you make sure Loading from Unknown Sources is turned on?
3. Make sure when you run Gingerbreak, the tablet is in Portrait mode...Gingerbreak will crash if it is run in Landscape mode.
I had that issue last night rooting my replacement A500. I realized I forgot to turn on USB Debugging. If that's the case, turn on USB Debugging and restart the tablet, then run GingerBreak again.

Acer "launched" the A500, A501, A100 and A101 tablets all at the same time, at the various electronics shows around the world. All the news sites online carried news of all 4 models, and their website lists them as well, even in the support section (and the A100 series isn't even available yet).
There's no way an Acer employee wouldn't have known about it if they had anything at all to do with the mobile devices division.
hi there,
if you are still using stock rom on your a501, just dont flash any custom rom from dev section... u will lose 3g functions
but then i think u can help the dev by giving the dumping of your stock rom, maybe to help we a500 users get easier and better 3g
Yes I am sure I did what exactly they told on their articles.
Now I solved that problem with ICONIA Root,so Gingerbreak is crap...

Y'know.. It's REALLY impolite to call something which some guys worked really hard on, did everything they could to help a bunch of freeloaders set their tablets free and didn't ask for a DIME in recompense, a piece of crap.

so far you need a rooted devices and some modification and extra file to make it work... and since the "OTA" removed all related to 3G.... I don't think it's in the plan of ACER to allow user of A500 to use 3G Dongle
So....that means I can't use the dongle on 3.1 OTA??
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
the 3.1 never spoke to bring 3G dongle compatibility
if you was dreaming about, sorry to broke your dream.
You want 3G on a tablet, go on a custom firmware who support 3G.
but becarefull 3G dongle are limited not all are supported.
If you wanna a 3G Tablet you should wait for the A501
I prefer connect by wifi tablet to my phone and then to 3G with my phone

Same thing. Mobile network capability is not part of the A500 ROM, nor will it EVER be, officially. That's why Acer make the A501 model.
If you want cell capability, either buy an A501, or use the mods/custom ROMs from the dev section.
Is there any way we could fallback to 3.0? Using 3G dongle is really important to me. If only I knew from the first time that 3.1 OTA removed 3G feature
Well as a newbie, flashing to a custom 3.1 ROM which support 3G is a little bit risky to me Will try that someday for sure, but not now ^^

3.0 didn't have any 3G/2G features either, so going back will achieve nothing.
You either use the mod, a custom ROM, or you buy an A501. Those are your options.

what the point to fallback to 3.0... that was not supported neither.
if you really want 3G... my advice is... use your phone as 3G Modem Wifi>3G

Hey everyone!
I have installed CM7 onto my KF, which I am loving btw, as directed by whistlestop over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390773, but I notice that my KF cannot find my 802.11N network. However, my 802.11G network is working w/o any problems.
I have searched that thread and the entire xda forums and could not find anyone commenting on CM7, KF and 802.11N. I am just wondering if the feature has even been added yet to the build or if I have a problem.
Much thanks for any info!
Has no one have any observations on this? I see the thread has gotten nearly 100 views, but no one is even able to confirm/repute my observations?

I have to double check, but the rndis over USB may break android gadget drivers. And that is a massive epic fail. If you can, post up that script to help me refresh my memory. In fact, I may write a helper app for all this 3g/ethernet dongle business.

Here is the post with the script information. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22346822&postcount=2987
That would suck if RNDIS is not possible since it worked on HC. It was pretty nice being able to use my 4G dongle with my WiFi Xoom but ICS is so much nicer. Keep me posted and I am willing to try anything out.
When you and Solarnz were helping me out, one of you had me run some commands in a terminal window which showed that the OS was seeing the device. Unfortuneately I do not remember what those commands were to see if ICS sees it as well.
[edit]
On second thought, from the output of the script it looks like the Xoom sees the ethernet connection, eth0, as the Xoom is provided an IP address.

Ya the problem is the rndis support. That's why you get that error on the last line. Ill cook a kernel in a bit with the needed additions.
Ok HuckFinn you lucked out. We got rndis but only as a module. Baked in it breaks all sorts of stuff. I tested by using USB tether from my evo3d to the xoom and it works. The only issue is the "internet not fully registered with android" issue. However, I'm pretty sure I know what to do. Look for a new thread from me regarding modules, drivers, and hardware.
Also, if some of the mentioned dongles need drivers, ill see if I can cook them. I'm pretty sure most use either rndis or the option USB_wwan stack.
