Can anyone recommend a kernel/ROM with RNDIS enabled? For some reason everyone builds kernels with this option not enabled, it's needed for wired tethering to work.
When building from the stock kernel I had to patch with:
https://github.com/getitnowmarketin...1fad97b052400883/drivers/usb/gadget/f_rndis.c
to get it to build properly.
For some reason I can never get wireless to work when I build the kernels no matter what guide I follow.
I would be willing to pay $20 bucks for this.... HeyItsLou maybe you can hook it up?
Thanks,
B
Im really hoping to get this with one of Chad's kernels but I'm really curious why people leave it disabled.

I know with the stock HTC kernel source compiling will break if you put a [Y] in Android RNDIS USB support, but the above file fixes that. I'm really hoping someone will work this through.. wireless tether is OK, but wired is better/more stable.
anyone wanna bite?

So is this the reason why I have erratic tethering with CM7 nightly (#29)?
When I was running stock and used PDAnet i remember it being a lot more stable, same goes for the ##887 hack.
Now with wireless ( and more with USB) native tethering on CM7 it seems i have to reload pages a lot more often, or the service just hangs up for no reason. Downloads also quit at any random spots.

I've tried the stock rooted Froyo 2.2, Ava Froyo 2.2, and OMJ Froyo and the all work great (thanks everyone) but seems like Android WiFi Tether doesn't work on any of them. Is anyone experiencing this?
Actually WiFi Tether works but my laptop can't catch the signals whereas it does on OMJ 2.1fine.
same here
I unfortunately have to agree with you...wireless tethering just does not work yet with this new kernel. I have tried all the same HTC froyo roms as well... I can broadcast and my WiFi device can see it and try to connect but cannot get an ip address ..always 169... I hope this gets fixed soon
I don't use tethering that much anymore (now that I'm not in high school) but once I start college next month I'll need it more than ever, so idk if I should flash 2.2 yet. From everything I've read nobody's gotten it to work on any froyo roms yet.
first, q and a, not development, is where this should have been posted.
second, i'm on cm6 nightly 7/29, with the new radio and wimax flashed over it. i had no problem at all using the froyo hotspot (obviously not sprint's, bc no sprint packaged material is on the cm6 aosp release). it's not 4g, but it works. i tethered my ps3 with no issues at all.
im in same boat... once i head back to college i'm going to want to take advantage of the unlimited 4G... and without wifi tether thats going to suck.. hopefully someone can figure this out -
maybe someone will make a kernel with it enabled based on whatever in 2.1 that allows it ...?
does PDANET work? anyone who upgraded?
this is in wrong section but I used version 2_0_5-pre4 and it works fine. right now on Stock Froyo rooted but switching to Fresh 3.0 beta 2 in a few min
cyanogenmod's rom has working tethering. doesn't have 4g or sense, but wifi tether works, as does everything else.
werid
weird, still not working for me, I am going back to 2.1 OMJ for now, I need my free 4G WIFI TETHER DEVS!
I don't really care about tethering, but can you get any of the fps "fixed" kernels to work on any of the 2.2 roms?

Does the wireless tethering capability that comes stock with Froyo not work for you? Works fine for me in CM6.
Need some time?
The leak has only been released less than 2 days therefore obviously still have a lot of issue with old APP. just give the Developers sometime and I am certain they will come up with something. Beside the leaked 2.2 floating around is not really a final copy anyway so what's the point of working so hard on something that will be replace in a few days. Think all the Developers should just give themselves a beer, sit back relax to calm down their nerves so that their brains will be working at 100% when the final release come out.
Oh,

Didn't try that but does that work with 4G too? (if you didn't sign up for 4G?)

Can you give specifics of your setup? I tried the Evo-Froyo-2.2-Rooted-Stock-3.26.651.3-Deodexed ROM (with latest radio + wimax) but could not get version 2_0_5-pre4 to work. It starts wifi tethering BUT my laptop cannot find /discover it.
Thanks.

Me too.. yes sir.. it no work
he is probably on cm6. you cant really compare the two roms since sprint has its hand in locking up a native feature of the device for profit. we probably need the kernel tweaked by one of the devs in order to get this working.
Yeah, my laptop cannot see it either.

Everyone with an Evo on Sprint is "signed up" for 4G. It may not be available where you are at, but you are paying for it and "signed up" for it.
i ended up purchasing pdanet for tethering. was only 18.95. to be honest this phone is great, but we all know the battery's shortcomings. im ok with killing 2 birds with one stone by tethering usb and charging the phone at the same time . Any solution is cheaper than sprint's recurring tethering charge.
Does pdanet allow tethering over 4g in a 2.2 rom? If so, what speeds are you getting?
Hey all, so I recently switched from a 1.47-based back snack to the newest froyo-based baked-snack and/or fresh and since then my wireless tether has gone the way of the dodo. Wireless tether seems to be launching and broadcasting but is not allowing connections from PC/MAC laptops (tried both). I've additionally tried the most recent FRESH ROM as well as the stock netarchy build and in all cases I can't get any connections from other computers (I don't even get the request or notification of an attempt to connect in wireless tether) As far as I can tell I don't have a MAC address issue of any sort.
Any ideas?
Wifi and 3G seem to be functioning fully, as well as everything else I've tested.

Seems to me a developer's section would be the appropriate place to post if I am having a recurring permanent problem post-installation of a developer's ROM.
-Just checking to see if anyone else might have seen this same problem, post ROM.
No need to be male genitalia.
I have tether working on calkulin evio rom. Test different versions,v visit the developers page. Pre 2 seems to be working best imo.

Haven't heard of this issue. You said you're running the netchary kernel on fresh right? What version of wireless tether are you running?
Thanks gmaine. I've tried both the Pre 2 that came with the backed snack rom and whatever version came with Fresh, and both had the same problem. Uninstalling and reinstalling whatever the current version is in the marketplace as well didn't work. It feels more and more like a hardware issue, though nothing else is funky at the moment.
Am currently running the netarchy update froyo kernel and have tried new and old version of wireless tether.
Try uninstalling the current tether app and using this one.
I'm running fresh 3.1.0.1 and using pre 7 of wireless tether and having no problems. Try uninstalling what you have now and install pre 7 from here http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Evo
am installing, etc, now.

The you should probably post in that specific ROM's thread.
for the netarchy kernel many are using Pre6. Some ROM's require the new Pre7.
Pre7 works on the Stock netarchy build for me and is mentioned several times in that thread.

Totally agree with you on that one, but didn't get my answer after a few days and tens of pages of posts later.--So of course, that was the first route I went. (Everyone seemed to busy arguing about PRI downgrades, but I digress.)
Anyways, the .apk that was just linked works, although I'm really not seeing the difference between it and the marketplace wireless tether and reinstallation. Either way, things are working now, thanks for those of you with constuctive advice!
It stopped working this morning, it created the network, I could connect my laptop to it, but it wouldn't go on the internet, did some things I saw on AndroidForums, and it still doesn't work. It says "Wireless Tether running with errors, check log.."
Picture of the log in attachment.
HTC Incredible running CM6 with Koush's alternate kernel.
I really need some tethering, PDANet works, but it's terrible on top of terrible mixed with some awful and a little bit of deplorable.
Could this have to do with my kernel? I was running KingXKlick #4 and it was MURDERING my battery, so I switched back to the Koush one, which also made my WiFi stop working, would a kernel change fix this?
Yes kernels have a direct effect on your wifi and tether usage.
If you're looking for speed KingKernels do well, but if you want battery life then I recommend:
Adrynalyne's experimental undervolt (SENSE/AOSP):
http://adrynalyne.us/?p=79
Hydra's stock speed undervolt (SENSE ONLY):
http://www.hydrakernel.net/stock_speed_undervolted_kernels.htm
Otherwise using stock kernel or adrynalyne's custom virtuous kernel (works on all sense roms) is great too. Wireless tether has worked for me with all these. Don't think I've ever used a koush sense-based kernel...
As always do a nandroid before flashing etc etc
Would a wipe/reflash cure the WiFi problems I'm having? Or is it deeper than that?

Might be a silly question, but are you using the Wireless Tether from the marketplace? If so I'd suggest trying the latest version from the developer's code http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=wireless+tether
Also, yes the kernel will affect wifi although most of them should be fully enabled with the latest version of Wireless Tether.
for those of you looking for a stable wifi tethering app for your newely rooted mytouch slide, and espically if you are on CM6.1 RC2... this works perfectly, ive been useing it for several days without issue...
just thought id share the tidbit to ya all
code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre14.apk&can=2&q=
I've been using the same since RC2 (I am now on the latest nightly, but still working).
just so everyone knows, i posted this cuz after a few hours of looking and total fustration, the forms here didnt lead me to a good tether app, so i did some leg work of my own, figured id save everyone time, no credit owed to me.... just being a good CM'er
i know this wasn't the case in the past..
but is there a way to run wifi in infastructure mode? or at least fake it so i can connect to kindle3?
running CM6.1 RC2
thanks.
mangle
try barnacle for the kindle but the one he just posted is a good working one.
these wifi apps create basically an ad-hoc connection, i know theres a way to connect to a pc and then create a hotspot useing the wife then basically bridge the connections, i had to go through it when i had an ipod touch..... its a silly long process but idk if thatd help
I use wireless tether 2.0.5-pre15 with no problems on the latest cm6 nightly, but it's an ad-hoc connection. Need an infrastructure connection for the Nook Color, as well.
I've tried many ROMS and CM7 is my favorite so far. However, the functionality for Wireless Tether is random...sometimes it works, and other times I get a limited connectivity / cannot obtain an IP error.
I can flash back to other ROMS like Virtuous, Skyraider's 3.5 and Athena 1.2, even CM6.1 and have no problem with Wireless Tether connecting right away.
Anyone else have this problem?
I'm on build 35, Slayher's stock kernel.
Mine takes a good 3 minutes for it to fully connect, but once it connects it works fine. maybe you're not waiting long enough?
I've used the other program you talk about once, i think that one connects right away..

I have found that opening the program, closing and re-opening works every time. A hassle but Gingerbread is worth it.
Ahhh....thanks for the help!
Changing from channel 1 to channel 6 works too!
