Tethering
Thanks to nicedream06 for figuring out how to get tethering on the stock ROM without the need for an ATT tethering plan. I have taken his work and turned it into a simple update.zip and Tasker profile. You need root in order to do enable tethering.

Enable Tethering

1. Download enable_tethering.zip
2. Drop it onto your sd card
3. Install from Clockwork Recovery
   If you do not have clockwork recovery, but have root, unzip the package and read through the update-script.
4. Reboot
5. Install Enable_Tethering.apk if you don't have Tasker. The app was generated from the below profile using "Tasker App Factory".
6. Install Tasker
7. Download Tasker_Enable_Tethering.prf.xml
8. Drop it on to your sd card
9. Import the profile into Tasker
   For the curious: It runs sqlite3 every time the mobile network becomes the primary internet connection ensuring that tethering will allowed.
10. Enable tethering!

Stock Tethering

2. Drop it onto your sd card
3. Install from Clockwork Recovery

As far as I can tell, this doesn't work with Linux (Peppermint was used for testing).

I have not tried this on Windows however so don't be discouraged .
