Hey mine is working i even changed my ssid on it and enabled confirmation.
I can do that to.... but can you actually tether?
I've got the latest rooted netarchy odexed OTA, the latest netarchy froyo kernel, and I just can't get wifi tether to work.
This is the wifi tether app I was using on 2.1:
android-wifi-tether - Project Hosting on Google Code
I'm now updated with the same rom and kernel as you, and tethering works. If you're not using the above tether app, give it a try. It's labeled for 2.1 but it should still work. Or, if that's what you were using all along, try uninstalling/reinstalling.
The common problem is the teather app starts and appears to be working. But if you try to actually use it with a wifi device, it will not get an IP.
I scanned the barcode, installed this and now wifi tether works fine. I'm not using any alternate kernels, just the Fresh 3.1.0.1Wireless Tether 2.0.7-pre-7 works with Fresh 3.1.0.1! wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre7.apk - android-wifi-tether - Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.5-pre7 *** EXPERIMENTAL *** - Project Hosting on Google Code But warning: they labeled it as deprecated for unknown reason.

I scanned the barcode, installed this and now wifi tether works fine. I'm not using any custom kernels, just the Fresh 3.1.0.1
For what it's worth, those that are a little gun shy about using the Netarchy kernel and are worried about losing use of the 8MP camera, only able to use 3MP.
The kernel only affects the stock camera app, I still have the 8MP option in my Camera replacement app (Camera 360)
Some people seem to have it working now.
Flash stock kernal change camera to 8mp then flash back netarchy's kernal
Thats what i did and it works fine
The stock ROM alone won't have wifi tethering enabled, since Sprint wants to charge you for it. However, if you get ANY of the reputable 2.2 custom kernels (or a ROM that contains said custom kernel), you will be able to wifi tether. If you want to preserve the stock look and feel but have the bonus features, check out this kernel:
[Kernel]netarchy-toastmod, updated for 2.2 - Version 3.7.6c - xda-developers
Flashing this kernel also gets you USB and wifi tethering as well as the boost in framerates and disabled perflock (enables CPU throttling).
Reminder: do a nandroid backup before flashing anything. Make it a habit

Thanks working now.
Ok I am using the newest Fresh 2.2 ROM I have the kernel netarchy-toastmod-froyoized-3.7.8b-fresh-compatible-signed, but i still can not get it to work. I uninstalled wifi tether all together and reinstalled the newed version of Wifi and still cant connect. I am not connected using the USB HMMMMM
