** O.K. So I went back and downloaded the PRE 8 wifi tether installer from google code and it worked like a charm. In the event anyone else encounters the same issue I had, then this might lead you in the right direction.**
I used REGAW's guide to root my OTA Froyo'ed EVO. I installed the Wifi tether app, and all super user permissions are in place. The tether shows up on my laptops available wireless networks, but I'm unable to get connection to the internet once connected to the Evo access point. Is there a particular radio, kernal or some kind of special setup I'm overlooking. I searched these forums thoroughly and didn't find anything, so forgive me if there's a posting somewhere I might have missed. Any help is appreciated.
Just to note I'm using the wireless tether app from the android marketplace.
why cant people post info when they ask a REALLY vague question like this
-which rom did you flash
-which wifi tether app are you using.
there really is only one to be using - 'wifi tether for root users' is the name.
-does your laptop actually connect?
-how do you know its connected (yes this is a trick question to see if you even know what you're doing)
With the very limited info given , pre 7 should be the one to try and try access control. As is documented in many threads for Wifi tether. I have never taken the one from the market always went ot site dirct. We'll see if we get more info of rom, kenal????

newer builds are nice but frankly i use the one from the market and it works fine.
especially on a stock rooted rom.
I didn't post more info as I suddenly decided to try the pre8 install and it worked. So don't worry your pretty little head now there buddy. To anyone else who posted w/out the 'tude, thanks anyhow. I'd be happy to post my specific details for anyone who might need them. Thanks again!
I'm having the same problem.
I did the 2.2 OTA, unlocked by the guide and flashed Unrevoked-Forever. When in the stock 2.1 build (rooted) Wireless for root works great. As soon as I flash a 2.2 ROM (so far I have tried VirusXrom, Fresh, EVO.Zone, a plain 2.2 ROM, BakedSnack, AVA, and a few others) wireless for root stops functioning correctly. My laptop and desktop can see the AP, just not connect to it. This is the case for ROMs that ship with WFR and versions downloaded from the market.
If I flash back to my nandroid save of 2.1, WFR from the market works great.
I have also tried Kings #6 kernel and updated to the latest radio/wimax versions. I thought that I might be losing root some how, but if I open a terminal and type su I get dropped to the proper # prompt.
Any ideas?
Try going to code.google.com and then to the android wireless tether section. Hit the download tab and download the pre8 build of the tether. I used Android Sideload Wonder Machine to push the .apk to the phone, and after that my devices (laptop, psp, other mobile phones) connect to my EVO Android Tether access point w/out problem.
Sweet. That seems to have worked. I guess I just needed pre-pre8 versions are just, for some reson, incompatable with some aspect of our configurations.
Posting over my tether for proof-positive.
Awesome! Glad to hear that worked for u! Have fun..

I want to connect my HTC desire to a wireless hotspot provided by my wireless network adapter (intel pro wireless 3945 ABG) on my notebook. I googled for some program which can provide this for me and found Connectify, small program not very hard to use. I install it on OS Windows 7 32-bit, followed all instructions and everything went fine. When I try to search for a hotspot (named it Connectify-me) Desire actually cant see it. Also tried to connect Nokia 5800 to the same hotspot and everything went fine.
Next day I tried to make hotspot with the same program but on the other WNA (my girlfriends notebook) and actually i made a connection without problems.
My assumption is that there is some incompatibility with my WNA and Desire. Also i need to mention that on the site of the program Connectify stands that my WNA is not fully supported which means it cant act as Access Point just as a HotSpot which is not the problem for me cause im using separate internet connection over LAN.
If anyone had the same problem or know the solution, plz help.
Also it would be helpfull to tell me some other way or program that can do the same job as the above mentioned one.
Is there anyway htc desire can connect to intel pro wireless 945 ABG?
P.S. Latest version of drivers is downloaded and installed from Intel site
I'm not an expert, but I've had a similar problem with wifi and solved it using little zip file called wpa_adhoc-signed.zip, search for it on Google. Your phone need to be rooted to flash this from recovery. Also, android doesn't like WEP, use WPA or WPA-2 (at least, that's what used to be my problem).

Thank you very much. It actually helped. My phone wasnt root so i followed unlocker guide on this forum about how to do that. If anyone have the problem using the unlocker guide one can post here and i can try to help him, cause i also had some problems using it.
Currently using RCMixHD and tethering doesn't work for me. It used to work. This is on Windows 7 32bit. It works fine on Ubuntu but my main rig is windows.
Do I need some drivers or what im lost?

you will prob need some kind of usb modem driver installed, have you tried installing htc sync, maybe the default modem drivers will work
I used to use usb tether though and it worked. I guess I could try installing newest htc sync.

yep, thats what used to happen to me! had a format recently (win7 32 bit ultimate) and couldnt tether at all! just Install and should work fine
I've successfully permanently rooted my Sprint Intercept with the latest 2.2 froyo on it without installing custom kernels and wanted to share steps I took since there is some confusion and differences.
Original guide link.
Things you'll need:
Root files.
Samsung drivers.
Windows 7/vista/xp 32 bit.
Steps:
Install Samsung drivers
Reboot your PC
Reboot your phone, connect it to your PC with a usb cable
Put your phone in debugging mode (menu->settings->applications->development)
Extract root files to your c:\intercept-root folder (or any folder you wish)
Start windows command line (start->run->CMD)
Change to your "intercept-root" folder
Execute START_ROOT command
Follow instructions
Once done, don't forget to install Superuser apk.
after you rooted it you were able to put a different rom on it right. trying to clear out the garbage that comes on it.

No, this is just simply to root and remove stuff you don't want. I suggest Titanium backup. There is no proper recovery for the intercept that I know of. The one existing can be flashed and it does work but has some issues with what it backs up and what it restores. It's not complete and may create problems.
If you are rooting the latest 2.2 froyo, after removing all sprint apps you are left with true bare stock so there is really no need for anything else. Make sure you don't remove the sprint vm even if you are using google voice. It needs to be on because of system integration.
you mae one error. the drivers can't be installed on windows 7. I have gotten the drivers from the moment to work once but now its nothing. my computer no longer recognizes the phone when i plug it into the computer. which means that i cant root it or anything. sucks and i need serious help.
hmmm, same problem
Find a friend with a XP laptop and use that?
Glad to know - i have failed at rooting my intercept a few times and have been using my windows 7 box. Trying these instructions from a laptop - will report back!
Success
Using nothing but a old crappy dell laptop runing windows XP I was able to gain perma root using the instructions provided here. On my first run of the script the process failed, I simply did what the program told me to (run the script again) and it worked like a charm.
OP - thank you so very much for taking the time to post.
Question for anyone: now that I have root, I *really* want to be able to use my Intercept as a wi-fi hotspot. Can I do this? Where do I start?
No errors. I got drivers under Windows 7 working but I clearly said it has to be 32 bit as 64 does not work. Check your version.

Download wireless tether app. I've had troubles with it in the past so if that one doesn't work try Barnacle.
how to flash cmo1 custom recovery after phone is rooted?
Just throw intercept root on sdcard and run
All I had to do it throw the root on the sdcard. Run it from the file manager, and then download barnacle. Sweet! Done!

I don't believe there is a supported recovery for the intercept. There is one hacked up but there are some issues with it so I don't recommend it.

There is no problems with the custom recovery. I recommend it if you want to try custom roms/themes. Check sdx for all things intercept

Looking to root my Intercept, but the 4shared link is broken
UPDATE: OK, I think this is what he was linking to. But my Antivirus doesnt like it. It says it's a virus. A severe virus.
So, I've been sick all weekend. What better way to spend a few hours indoors then to try out a fresh new ROM?
Last night I flashed from the old, worn out, seemingly no longer updated SkyRaider Sense (with Chad's Incredikernel) to what had been my old standby, CM which I believe came with it's own kernel. I am on XP. While native tether worked on SkyRaider, I couldn't get it working on CM7.1 which is a deal-breaker for me as I tether often (and though it's a good backup plan wireless tether SUCKS! soo slow). After trying to figure it out for a few hours, I came to the conclusion (wrong as it may be) that CM7 could not support wired tether, a problem that is isolated to that ROM.
Time for another flash. This morning I did some research and landed on MIUI and a new Incredikernel. I like this ROM but still no wired tether. Here's what happens:
1 Plug in USB
2 Menu>Settings>System>Tethering and Portable Hotspot>USB Tether ON
3 New Hardware Wizard Runs - doesn't matter though, I've downloaded no less than 10 drivers that are supposed to fix this and similar problems (tetherxp.inf, Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device, HTCSync, VZAccess, etc). Automatic install, let windows search, manually choose file - honey badger don't care.
4 Device Manager shows "RNDIS" Under "Other Devices" Anything I do - "The hardware was not installed because Windows could not find the necessary software."
5 A single tear rolls down my face.
Though this MAY be an easy fix, I have searched everywhere and cannot find the info I need. Feel free to post any link to solved posts concerning this, though I feel I've tried everything readily available.
Does Chad's new kernel support RNDIS? Is there a kernel that does? Can someone write one?
Is there a different driver that I am supposed to be using?
I don't want to go back to my nandroid backup.
Please bring NyQuil, thanks in advance,

PS Yes, today I named my phone Honey Badger. 'Cause he's a bad*ss... but he doesn't give a sh*t.

I've had the similar RNDIS issue before. What fixed the issue for me was installing the modified usb drivers from the unrevoked website. The thing is Windows would not install the drivers running normally. I had to boot the PC into safe mode, then I booted my phone in to Hboot then plugged it in to the PC and the drivers installed successfully. Give that a shot maybe it'll work for you..
Download this and unzip it then go to ADB , DRIVERS, HTC Modem Driver. The driver you require should be in there.
http://dinc.does-it.net/ADB/ADB-Fastboot-USB-Drivers_v4_(x86)(x64).zip
Thank you both, I hadn't tried installing in safe mode WHILE in HBOOT... however, it did not work. I tried both sets of drivers while in safe mode and HBOOT, then just in safe mode, then just in HBOOT.
Any other ideas? Questions?
Thanks
Any other ideas? Anyone else?
"bump" is too short of a message
Chad's incredikernel appears to support RNDIS. I'm looking to add to mine (gingertiny-v2) but I can't get it to build so far.
Still unsolved, is anyone out there good enough to solve this RNDIS driver riddle? Please, give it another go!
Thanks in advance.
Your pal,
