hi

i have tried those apps without success (tethering with an ipad)

- Barnacle Wifi Tether

- tether wifi (from moussa)

- wireless tether 2.0 pre 10

I can see the network from my ipad but I can't use it (no wep answer on the ipad, no access control on the desire, ...)

If someone can help me with a link to an app that runs well on the desire ... (and only wifi tethering, no BT :huh: )

thanks

If you wait a few hours, Paul is on the verge of releasing a Cyanogen Mod ROM for the desire;) That will have all the apps you require for tethering built in. As well as a few nice extras such as overclocking and apps2sd built in;))) For me i cant stand Sense anyway, so im looking forward to this release;)

CYANOGEN 5.06 RELEASE

I've spent a bit of time working with the latest AOSP code, and figured out all of the necessary components to build a working system for the Nexus One from source. I put together a vendor overlay that can be used by any developer to build a working system for this device!

This build is currently based on AOSP 2.1_r2. I've also added most of the same things that you can find in the previous CyanogenMod versions.

Now available view CM Updater!

#include <std_disclaimer.h>

/*

* Your warranty is now void.

* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please

* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM

* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if

* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

*/

This is a pure, working AOSP build which you can use without any type of Google applications. I found a link from some other project that can be used to restore the Google parts, which can be found below or elsewhere in the thread. I've still included the various hardware-specific code, which seems to be slowly being open-sourced anyway.

* Can be used with or without Google applications

* Kernel 2.6.33.1 which supports highmem (thanks to Arve Hjønnevåg and the rest @ Google for this work), tethering (thanks to Zinx and Ben Buxton for the original RNDIS backport, and Google for merging the goodies into the gadget subsystem), VPN/tun, and other modules (cifs, nfs, aufs, fuse)

* Clean shutdown/startup system

* New Apps2SD method implemented mostly by Chris Soyars. Create an ext4 partition and enable it in settings->applications (wiki page coming soon)

* Built in USB tether

* Graphical enhancements, trippy bootanimation, #boobs, and excellent wallpapers by Prash

* ARM NEON optimizations from 0xdroid and Qualcomm

* Includes BusyBox, htop, nano, powertop, openvpn, bash, and all engineering commandline utilities

* FLAC audio support from Kenny Root

* Phone enhancements from Cytown

* Contacts enhancements from Wysie

* MMS enhancements from, well, everyone (see changelog)

* Perform zipalign-on-install of applications

* DeskClock tweaks- longer autosilence and "require unlock" option :huh:

* Massive APN list

* Huge collection of ringtones and audio

* Customizable Nexus live wallpaper by Chris Soyars and me

* All available locales are included thanks to PsychoBoy

* 360-degree auto-orientation by Optedoblivion and Elanthis (enable in settings)

* Full color trackball notifications (from Google)

* OpenVPN integration thanks to James Bottomley

* Music app can respond to double-click on the trackball and long-press on the volume buttons (from Metalhead)

* Launcher2 tweaks from ruqq

* Many other bugfixes and tweaks from AOSP contributors

* Tons of work on the build system by Koush and Chris Soyars

Depends if it's a kernel issue or a ROM issue.

Does 'adb logcat' show anything untoward when you click to tether?

I think these are the key problems, but it tries to do loadsa stuff when you press it.

no update regarding wifi tethering?!?

I see that the problem is the same for all users: no dhcp connection with laptops or iPad.

I tried with a couple of different apps, the result is the same.

no way to connect the client.

I wrote to harald, the developer of the wifi tether application...

take a look at the answer. any of you can test the workaround?!?

"It's hard to add support for device which we don't have available for testing.

What helped on other HTC-devices were following commands (I think you are familiar with the adb-command?):

adb shell

su

/system/bin/ip route delete table gpr

Try the "ip route delete" command before and after enabling tethering.

Let me know if that helps (so we can add this workaround to the start-procedure)."

Hi, I'm getting errors from that command: seems that "gpr" was to be intended "gprs", but that's the result: 
# /system/bin/ip route delete table gprs

/system/bin/ip route delete table gprs

RTNETLINK answers: No such process

I tried other options too, but with no luck (I'm not expert about that).

Could it be a driver issue? Starting tether through adb shell (configured to use WEP): 
# /data/data/android.tether/bin/tether start 1
I get this error: 
about to run: [cd /data/local/tmp; mkdir /data/local/tmp/wpa_supplicant; wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -ieth0 -c/data/data/android.tether/conf/wpa_supplicant.conf]

ioctl[SIOCSIWMODE]: Invalid argument

Could not configure driver to use managed mode

Starting tether w/o WEP, no visible errors, but iwconfig isn't happy with the eth0 interface and complains when trying to change settings (this could be normal though)

It's working! Well sort of!

It's a bit of a manual work around but see here for further information:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-teth...0&start=100 see comment 23.

Basically there seems to be a problem with the initial stages of communication between the PC and the Desire in wifi tether mode, maybe some kind of firewall.

This is what I did:

Installed wireless_thether_2_0-pre10.apk via SD card.

Installed a terminal emulator via the market.

1. Set WiFi Card static IP on the PC (mine was Windows 7) to 192.168.2.100/24 with a gateway of 192.168.2.254

2. Started WiFi Thether App with defaults only.

3. PC associates with the WiFi Tether access point.

4. Using a terminal emulator on the desire issued command 'ping -c 3 192.168.2.100'

5. No response to the ping command (100% packet loss)

6. A few seconds later the PC says its online.

7. Web page loaded (google.co.uk)

Happy tethering, in a workaround sort of way. :huh:
