I can't get the Tether for Root users you pointed to LordVince, to work either. I've tried FoxFi and almost got it working but don't think it supports our device. So I downloaded the app you specified above and the settings you specified (I do get one error on app start saying ad-hoc mode failed but this doesn't seem to be an issue since you have it working in infrastructure mode?)
It doesn't advertise the SSID and I see no option to advertise, which really isint a problem either... but also doesn't work when I manually add the network.
Though I have't tried it on Windows or any other device, I was just using Fedora 17 (KDE) to test it out.
So you did get it to work from the Rush LordVince?
Edit: I just seen the other thread actually. Probably just something I'm missing.

You have to turn on the 'reload WiFi drivers' option

Thanks but it's on by default. It's probably just a setting (maybe something linux/fedora doesn't pickup automatcially?) I only tickered with it for a few minutes. Once i mess around with it some more I’ll report back.

I got it to work with the Wifi tether for root users app like above.
Not sure what the problem was but at first the SSID wasnt getting picked up by the laptop and then I would add it manually and it didint work. Then it did pick up the SSID but I think it detected it as a secured network (i dont set a password on it so its just an open wifi network).
I use it alot now though no problem. Let me know how it works for you on Mint though as well.

first off, what and where is the infrastructure mode option at? or does setting those other two settings make it go into that mode automatically?
second, i keep getting a 'what the hell!!! your phone took over the wifi and tether shutting down NOW' error after the screen times out and i turn it back on... or just after 5-10 minutes of it setting with screen off, but data in use.
on a hunch, i turned off the 'Power saving' option in the settings menu (of the rom, not wifi tether app). so far, about 5 minutes, and several screen cycles, it seems to be sticking. we'll see!
EDIT: Nope! made it about 10 minutes, then the boot again. i noticed that the wifi was showing that it was on again in the drop menu, and i had just turned it off. so i dug around and found the 'connection optimizer' in the advanced wifi menu. shut it off. waiting to see how it goes this time. (power saving still off too)
EDIT 2: Looks like the Connection Optimizer was the problem. its been up and running for about 15 minutes now, and no problems. ill report back if issues arise!

What Ive found with my phone is be sure wifi is disabled before you switch on wifi tether. Also I had to disable access control...Now it works like a dream. (Samsung Rush Boost Mobile)
