True, and I wasn't claiming to fix your BT problem. That said, I had some trouble tethering with BT on my work laptop on the latest MR6 so I ran the new HTC wifi sharing program and it worked perfectly, first try, no bs. You literally run the program and optionally change the SSID and WEP key of your host connection, then press Start. It even handles turning WiFi on and off when you open it and close it. It doesn't get any simpler or more universal than this. And BT is not a waste on your netbook, btw - you can use a BT wireless mouse with it.

Try it and see if you still want to use BT: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=75461
