Using either Generic ICS/JB profile or the Nexus CDMA/LTE profile mine will only connect using reload driver option 1, not 2. 2 will not show up at all. Reload driver option 1 will show up and work, however after turning off Wifi Tether the wifi is dead until the phone is rebooted.
This is on the Play Store Synergized version 3.3 beta2.
Anyone know what may be causing it? (This is on the VM version, but I think they are the same other than VM apps).
Found a solution (wifi tether may get updated to fix the dead wifi issue, but this works for now). Thanks to TheBritton for finding the solution on the VM S3 which also works here. If Wifi Tether works for you then go ahead and use it, if you are having issues or dead wifi (like me), this is another working solution.
REQUIRES ROOT
1. Download

2. Use these settings:
- Interface: wlan0
- Method: 3 - HostApd
- Channel: 1
- Encryption : WPA2-psk
- Drivers: nl80211
- HostApd Patch: UNCHECKED
This has worked great for me. It does not kill wifi after you disable it and is not flaky and unstable like Wifi Tether has been on the Supreme. It isn't a free app, but considering you can't even buy tethering on a LTE VM phone then $1.95 is worth it.
