Excelent news for Wifi Tether.

Taken from XDA, original link here. If this doesnt make sense to you just move along ;)

Hello All,

I have gotten infrastructure mode working on my EVO. I compiled support for the SIOCSIWPRIV AP_PROFILE_SET system call into iwconfig and lo and behold:

After unloading and reloading the _ap.bin firmware using insmod while wifi-tether is running I issue the following command:

Command: # ./ultraiwconfig eth0 mode master

Response in kernel log:

Code:

And proceed to assign IP information and bring the interface up.

The interface then appears on my Windows 7 laptop in infrastructure mode fully supporting wpa.

I will be working with Harald in the coming days to integrate this functionality into android-wifi-tether!
