OK, I don't know if this has happened to anyone else: With most (or all?) of the Cyanogen Mod (7, 9 and 10) ROMs that I've used, wifi works great in every access point EXCEPT for hotspots created with an iPhone (4S). It takes a really long time (and quite a bit of manual refreshes) for the Kindle to detect that my iPhone's hotspot is in range... This happens most of the time, but not all, and when it connects it's a rock-solid connection.
I'm using twa_priv's CM10 (Jellybean) ROM (which is AWESOME). When I flash an AOSP jellybean ROM, I'm able to connect just fine to my iPhone's hotspot right away. I guess it's something to do with the iPhone creating ad-hoc hotspots instead of infrastructure, and the wifi driver in CM not handling them well...?
Anyway, is there a way to install the wifi drivers from AOSP into a CM ROM, or something like that?
Thanks for any help!
Why not just use a AOSP ROM like Jandycane? The problem may be more complicated than this, but try moving any suspicious apps from the /system/app folder in the AOSP ROM to the CM ROM. Suspicious apps would be apps that seem to have something to do with wifi. Make sure you set the permissions the same as everything else in the folder, and don't blame me if I'm wrong

hello all, i got this question: is wifi tether based on kernel capabilities? because am using dk28 and is just not working for me, apk installs fine, open and run but i cant find the connection on my laptop/evo4g. I want to know if the kernel has to support it, if so does the stock dk28(rooted) has support for it or do i have to use a different kernel?
Thank you in advance!
mine works fine..your evo cant see it because android cant see adhoc ..idk about your laptop
I'm not sure what the above poster said about Evo, but this is Epic forum.
So, I had Pre 9 running on 2.1 rooted, would not work on DK28. I read somewhere that Pre 11 was working. Downloaded, turned on and everything was great, so the version makes the difference.
Hope that helps.
To reiterate what was said earlier.
Android phones are not capable of seeing adhoc connections. Which in this case of using WifiTether is what you are creating.
Your laptop should be able to see the connection just fine. I would go back and check some settings in wifirouter and your laptop to make sure you are able to get things working correctly.
Any version of wifirouter after pre11 should work. All the way up to pre15.
Hi
I have weird problem, I can connect to my home network (WPA2) and it works fine.

Refresh, changed ROM few times, still doesn't work, now i use Rafdroid, before I used some sense 3.0 ROM however even before it didn't work. Once I found wifi i was looking for but after phone restart it disppeared. Do you know what may cause that/how to fix it?
No ideas, anyone?
Is the wifi working with the windows mobile stock rom ???
I had only once with a rom a wifi problem, after installing another kernel is was over.
Most likely that you need to go to a specific address to get a cookie.
I don't know if it worked on WM because just as i bought it, I changed to android. Now it works on Cyanogen however i still don't know how to make it work on any Sense rom
Hello one and all, Great job on CM7, however i have not been able to use my wireless for anything. On CM7.0 RC1,3,4 it wouldn't even turn on. Now on CM7.1 RC1 / nightly's, it will turn on, but it will error out when it try's to activate the interface. I can get USB teather to work, but not the wireless. the radio work fine as it is, it is the stock radio, and im not fond of upgrading it. IF you want the log let me know
There are lots of bugs with every CynogenMod Roms. They try to reduce it with every update.
So try to get the latest release, hope it solve your problems.

To answer your question. There are several apps in the "app world" that will work with most, if not all, ROMs.
You can use Barnacle from the market.
[https://market.android.com/details?id=net.szym.barnacle&hl=en]
Or you can use the Open Source .apk
[http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list]
The nice thing about the Google Code one is you can block MAC addresses so not everyone is tethering off of you in public places. I always like leaving my SSID shown as something like "mah android powered your iPod", but use the MAC filtering.
Hi out there,
I really like the ROM´s (HD2) of TBD and used 2.6 for a while. Unfortunally the Hotspot will not work. It´s seems to me that they removed the "original" hotspot and implemented barnacle. My Motorola XOOM will not find any hotspot When I turned on the hotspot from the shortcut menue, my XOOM see the hotspot and try to connect but can´t get an IP ... I installed an ICS dev from SD-card and it worked without any problems. My XOOM worked with the hotspot of the Desire (stock) my wife owns. I can´t use an ICS, better to say I don´t want in the moment, because it´s really hard to sync all the data I need from my pc to my XOOM and to my phone. And I don´t want to use clouds in the moment ...
Dear all the hard working developers out there ... please please please think while you are developing things about the user(s). I worked in the software industrie for many years and I know that a lot of projects are running without an idea what the end user will think about that.
I try to find a ROM that will fit my needs, sync with Outlook/Exchange, working as a hotspot for my XOOM, running fast and stable, and last not least looks quite good ...
So Barnacle isn't working for you? You selected to skip WPA supplicant correct?
Hello I have in my rom Iconia A500 THOR V14.2 ANDROID ROM 3.2.1 works fine, I used wifi tethering with my tel. rom htc hd2 and HD2_NDT_GINGER_2.3.7_CM7.2_BASED_V35.0_MAGLDR and earlier and this too well, but with great battery consumption at tel. So PdaNet tablet discovered by BT to connect both perfect and very good speed and low power consumption.
The problem is that I tried to do the same with other rom in the Tel and nofunciona with any other, in some Wifi if I managed to connect but bt nowhere.
I can not access this configuration to the proxy and the true sense of megustan the HTC rom and now I can not use them for this.
I have read also in San Google and forums and I think it has something to do DHCP choking in Iconium.
Would greatly appreciate help in resolving this problem.
I'm not completely sure I understood you correctly, but here's what I think might help you:
Bluetooth is somewhat broken on this tab. I don't know if BT tethering works on any ROM... I never actually searched for it and it's not in the settings.
WiFi Tethering works just fine with most ROMs; Acer removed the menu entry, but not the necessary software, i. e. any "WiFi tethering widget" will work if you've got root. I'm not sure about non-rooted devices, though, as I rooted mine like 10 minutes after I got it... Also, most custom ROMs (even almost-stock ones) restore the menu entry, so you don't even need that.
EDIT: After re-reading your post I think the problem might just as well be with the kernel you use... Its source is (in violation of the GPL) not available, so I can't be sure of that.
