Does anyone have a working version of that app yet?

Great question for the app section... To my knowledge Barnacle works for some but can be 'finicky'. Otherwise, no.
Yea I couldn't get barnacle to work

here is the the one I'm using for TeamFenix 1.7.1 which is based off of one of the CM nightlies, and I haven't had any problems at all, just downloaded, installed using Astro File Manager and was up an running on my netbook. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre3-test3.apk
barnacle ususally works. just disable wpa_supplicant. go to barnacle's settings and check skip wpa_supplicant. ran it for a few hours on windows. works well.
Barnacle is the only one that people claims works. I haven't been able to get any Ad-hoc to work with Linux, but Windows works with Barnacle.
Not related to wireless, but there is built-in USB tethering which I prefer if I can get signal at my laptop. Just plug in the USB, go to Settings->Wireless & Networks->Tethering and check 'USB Tethering'. If it prompts for drivers tell Windows to manually use 'Remote NDIS Device for Internet Sharing' by 'Microsoft Incorporated'.
I'm trying to find a working wifi tether app for cm 6.0 as well. Ive tried Barnacle and it doesnt work even when I disable wpa supplicant. The computer sees it and connects but no webpages will load.
I also tried a few different wifi tether apk's from googles site and everyone makes my phone crash and reboot.
wireless app works for my ipad or any other device. I just can not get to tether to another android phone, it used to work no problem. The phone will not even recgonize the wireless network. Right now i have a samsung droid charge and tmobile g2x. I have also tried with a samsung vibrant. no combination works. But they will work with ipad and laptop. sometimes one phone might not have good service, so I would like to use wireless in them situations. Thanks

Hi,
I'm a new owner of a G2. I've been looking for a way to get USB tethering to work, but haven't managed to find the info on it. I saw in the wireless tether thread that sherifone gives a shoutout to teferi for "his original USB tether script", but couldn't find the post by teferi.
Is it possible to get USB tethering working on the G2? How?
thanks,
del
Your best bet would be to gain root using VISIONary, and use the app "android-wired-tether" from Google Code

Pdanet also works

Oh, I thought I read the wired tether was not working due to some kernel issue.
Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

I use pdanet and wifi tether both work.
goodluck
In case anyone else is wondering. I tried wired tether and it did not work.
Windows 7 could not locate a driver for it. The device is displayed in the device manager with the yellow icon overlay.
On the Mac, it detects a network adapter but expects account information and some other info.
Wireless tether seems to work, but it was very slow for me. That's probably because the reception at work seems to suck. It spends more time on EDGE than 3G.
I may try PDANet eventually. But to be honest, I wanted to tether at work (the client's site) because their connection sucks pretty bad. But with the speed I'm getting, I may just stick to the client's network.
I recently installed cyanogen 6.1.1 and installed wireless tether for root (the newest version, 2.06 I think.) . When I start tethering windows will find the network but it won't connect to the internet and the program is showing no data activity. The same thing happens if I try using the hotspot option in settings. I've already tried changing the network id, channel and I even reinstalled the app and no luck. PDAnet usb tethering is working fine but the built in usb tethering isn't (it makes a noise like a driver failed to install). Thanks for any input on getting any of them working correctly.

you may need to install the vision/dz drivers to get the official usb tether to work but I haven't dicked with the wifi in a while and don't really remember a lot about it.

I seem to remember there being conflicts when you have Wireless Tether installed since CM already has the hotspot. Try uninstalling Wireless Tether, rebooting and using hotspot

Now I can't get the phone to USB mount the sd card...

Where Can I find these drivers? And are they self installing? If not where do I put them?

I'm pretty sure I tried to use this before I installed Wireless Tether for Root.
Got it working, thanks. I uninstalled everything, rebooted my phone and computer. Some driver installed and both tethering options in settings are working now.
I'm having this problem as well. What do you mean by you uninstalled everything?
I'm having the same issue. Did you just uninstall the app and reboot?

Just fixed the issue. I uninstalled Wireless tether for root and rebooted phone. Opened up hotspot and it now works. Thanks!
When you use the inbuilt tether, did you get charged.
I have a rooted Droid Incredible running Cyanogen 7. I have never been able to get the built in wireless hotspot functioning even when I was running Cyanogen 6. Here is what is happening:
I can turn on the wireless hotspot feature and my laptop is able to see the SSID. When I try to connect the connection is unsuccessful. It looks like it it hanging at obtaining an IP address.
I was able to get the Wireless Tether app from the market to work but when I use it I have to turn it on once then turn it off then turn it on once again in order to be able to connect to the SSID. The other issue is that when I activate it my notification bar shows the Wireless Tether connection active as well as an icon for the built in wireless tethering. Its not a big deal but it clutters my notification bar and it annoys me.
Can someone give me some help getting my build in wireless tethering working?
The problem with the built in tether is once you go over a certain limit verizon will start charging you, so I would recommend using the free tether app man.

What would be the difference between wireless tether app and the wireless tether built in to cm7? Why would Verizon charge for one but not the other?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Because Verizon gets notified when you use the built-in tether, if you use the one on the market they will beverages know.
I stopped using cm7 because of that same tether issue, but for me the internet wouldn't work at all, my pc would connect to the "android tether" just fine, but no internet feed.

As I understand it the only way you would be charged is if you're using Verizon's tethering app, which is separate from the built in tethering in CM7.
Yes, this is true, but even with that my pc and 360 would connect with it, but still no internet. But with any other Rom (stock included) it would work beautifully!!!!!

I noticed this for the first time today with CM7 which I installed on Friday. Will have yo try the new final to see if the wireless tether works. Would be very disappointed if it doesn't work! I don't want to go back to Virtuous.

I don't really use it but I tested it and it works fine for me.
I guess I don't really mind using the wireless tether app from the market but there are issues.
1. How do you stop both icons from showing in the notification tray?
2. How do you stop the app from showing updates with the new market? The newest versions don't work on the incredible.
I cannot get the USB Tethering native to CM7 (7.0.2.1 on Evo) to work with my Mac (10.6).
Does anyone know how to get them to play nice?
My Growl hardware notifier shows 'Android modem' as a new device ... but it does not appear in network prefs or anywhere else.
Thanks!
Download "wired tether" from the market. Can't say it'll work with your mac, but I can't get the built in (cm7) usb tethering to work either.
I am on my MacBookPro right now, using the WiFi tether built into CM7. When my battery gets low, I just plug it into the usb port to charge, but leave it on Wireless tether. Works like a charm. Now, if only I had 4G coverage.
The Sprint "tweaked" WiFi tether on Deck's AOSP ROM works fine on my GF's MacBook Pro.....
I have no problem with WiFi tethering ... just wanted to use USB.
But from the fairly extensive searching I've done, it seems to be impossible, because Mac doesn't support something called RNDIS (which the 'wired tether' app requires as well.)
Oh, well...
I was really considering buying an Acer Iconia until I used my aunt's. I tried using barnacle on my rooted Droid X2 to get online, but the tablet wouldn't pick it up. I understand that barnacle is an ad-hoc connection, and that there's some threads about enabling ad-hoc or something on this subforum. Is there any way to tether my phone to the tablet? Or is it hopeless? If there is, then I just may buy one.

Once you get root access, it's actually really easy! It's just copy-and-pasting the file on the link to the location.
...or just use PdaNet Tablet (Beta), free @ the Market.
I've been using "open garden wifi tether" on my phones forever and have never had any connection problems. Its free on the market, I use it in conjunction with "tablet talk" and I just do everything except calling from my tablet.

I've tethered many devices in the past...iPhones, Android phones, tablets, laptops, PSPs, etc. I'm using OpenGarden and I can tether two different laptops just fine to my Nexus S, but for some reason my A100 CANNOT see the network. No security, broadcasting...even when manually adding the network...am I missing something? The phone and tablet are right next to eachother, and I even tried seperating them to make sure it's not that they're TOO close.
I know I've read the A100 may have weaker wifi than one might hope for, but it works just fine throughout my house to connect to my wifi network - I can't see why it wouldn't see a phone broadcasting right next to it?
And this isn't an AD-HOC connection, so I can't imagine I would need to root the tablet for it to work. Any ideas?
Edit: Nevermind, forgot the phone has a built in tethering app (that I don't like because it lacks Access Control) and that worked just fine, so whatever problem I'm having must be OpenGarden related.
I've been trying to tether my Iconia A100 (not rooted) with my HTC Evo 3D (which is rooted).
I've tried using the Sprint Hotspot and the Android tether. In each case, the tablet sees the connection and seems to connect and it works for a little while, but after a short time even though it seems to be connected, there is no WiFi connectivity.
I just tried PDANet/FoxFi and FoxFi gave a message that the WiFi hot spot isn't supported on HTC phones. I tried the BT tether and again it seemed to connect, but there was almost no connectivity. Same thing happened with OpenGarden (that seemed to allow BT only -- it doesn't do WiFi -- or is that also because of the HTC phone)?
Is there any way to tether the Iconia to this phone without rooting the tablet?
