Help Tether to a Thunderbolt

Is there any way to tether a WIFI tab to an HTC Thunderbolt? It probably can be done with the Thunderbolt as a wireless hotspot, but I'd like to be able to do a physical tether like from a PC to the Bolt using easytether.

Any ideas?
 
I am having the same problem. I tried to connect with Bluetooth but could not get to work. Anyone out there have any info?
 
I downloaded Open Garden from the market. Put it on the rooted TB (yes, TB must be rooted).

Turn both wi-fi and 4G on, and start the app. Click the big wi-fi icon in the center.

Have the Tab scan for the SSID noted in the Open Garden setting (curiously called OpenGarden for ease)

Boom... Done.

I ran it again this morning to download a free app from Amazon Market.

Granted this isn't a "hard wire" solution as mentioned by the OP, but it works really well. I like it because when I am in the field using my Tab, the phone can be on my belt without worring about a cable getting unplugged as I move around.

Also, with a cable solution, don't you need to buy the adapter which plugs into the Tab that will allow you to connect a standard USB to micro USB cable t0o connect to the TB?
