Most hotspots don't throw up a 'true' AP. They use what's called an adhoc network, which your fantastic paperweight can't handle. It needs a true AP, which the native Android tethering app does.
Sprint has never said anything about my tethering. YMMV.

Sorry, missed this post at first.
Barnacle is similar to all the others - it uses adhoc networks instead of using a true AP. The built-in tether feature is the only one (that I know of) that throws up an actual AP.
Why didn't you use XDAndroid's
wifi tethering app?
It worked great, but again... it used an adhoc network, which most laptops can handle - but Android devices cannot connect to adhoc networks, and the TouchPad is in the same boat
AFAIK.
