There's a 'Battery Calibration' app on the Market that some have reported success with.

Anyway, it worked. Makes no sense, but I mentioned this to someone on another forum who also couldn't get WiFi hotspot to work, and suddenly it started working for him, too.

Wifi in general is flaky, not surprisingly wifi hotspot is as well.
Also, WinMo does not have the option to put up an actual AP - Android does. However, when the firmware is unloaded, Android freaks out. Probably related to this... Our firmware probably doesn't support it, and for some insane reason it loads it - but doesn't properly unload it. Meh...
The ironic thing is ICS doesn't require wifi firmware to be unloaded when shutting down wifi. Not sure our phones can handle all ICS has to offer, but here's to hoping. Maybe if we can ever get GB stable
