Wifi Tethering

The article on the following site shows a screen shot of Portable Wifi hotspot, but I do not see it when I boot to Android. Am I doing something wrong?

Exclusive: Google To Add Tethering, Wifi Hotspot To Android 2.2 Froyo

Are you running FRX01? That's what I'm running, and it is present under Settings, Wireless & network settings, Tethering & portable hotspot.

I think I answered my own question. I am running BLAZN.

ProjectAndroid2.2BLAZN.092810

That might be my problem. Agreed?

(I tried ProjectAndroid2.2Froyo.092810 and it never asked me where to install the app. It locked up the phone.)

I downloaded barnacle wifi tether. Works with wpa-supplement turned off.

Though I started having acore process issues the next reboot.

Otherwise all I see is USB tethering

Agreed. I only see USB on the BLAZN build. FROYO has Wifi. Strange.

Have you tried USB tethering? Does it work? (I wonder if it works with a Mac?)

Wifi Tethering is not included in BLAZN. FROYO won't load on my device.

Drats!!!

The number 1 cause of wifi not working is not using the right modules file. The modules and zImage are a pair and must be from the same compile or some drivers will not work.
