Internet sharing disconnecting after update

I put this in the General forum last week and had no success, so since it relates to an upgrade I decided to post it in here too. A while back I upgraded using the ppckitchen.org app and afterwards I could connect with Internet Sharing, but after a few minutes it would disconnect. I installed wmodem and had the same results, so I downgraded back to original ROM and had no problems using either program. When the official Alltel ROM came out I decided to upgrade again, but had the same results. I downgraded and rebuilt a rom with PPCKitchen, same results. I then went back to original rom and have had it for the past week or so and Internet Sharing works great. Last night I tried again to upgrade to the official Alltel ROM, still having disconnect issues. Anyone have any suggestion? I absolutely have to have Internet Sharing or WModem so unless it gets fixed I'm stuck with the gay original rom with no GPS and no 6.1 ROMS. Thanks a lot for any suggestions.

i had this same issue...... then started using WMWiFiRouter, and it solved the problem..
WMWifi uses the ICS app, but something about it keeps it always connected.. i've never had a problem since..
try it out..

Thanks for the replies. I used WMWifi for a while and it worked ok, only problem is when I used it every few seconds it would kinda "freeze" the connection. Would be ok for normal browsing, but playing online poker it definitely sucks. I might try using WIFI through the ICSControl program floating around. For the time being I had to drop back down to the original rom b/c battery life sucked on the new one (fully charged at 5am, fully dead at 10am, sleeping the whole time) Thanks for any more suggestions.

I believe WMWifiRouter has auto-reconnect routines built into it. So for normal browsing it works great, but for connection sensitive things it is not ideal. I get kicked off my VPN connection whenever a disconnect occurs. I haven't tried ICScontrol to see if it handles things any better. Please post your results if you try it.

PS. I was drinking some McClelland's scotch last night. Scottish?
