Why do I get this error when attempting to start a tether session? I am rooted running the first release of Carbon ROM and attempting to use Wifi Tether for Root Users.

huh that is a funny error.....LOL
if you go into the wifi tethering app there should be show log function. after you get that same error. hit the show log and see what it says.
also have you tried the built in tethering function within carbon?

So here's what happens when I try to tether. I have Wifi running, open the tether app and hit start tethering. It shuts off Wifi and says tethering is running. Me assuming Wifi needs to be running to use Wifi tethering re-enable Wifi, that's when this What the Hell error pops up. The app never shows errors on the log after that message appears and it just shows the normal shutdown log.
Where might I find the tethering function in Carbon? I am using the first version as the 4-10 update gave me more problems than the original.
Edit:
Found the tethering function within Carbon and I can now see my hotspot. Maybe a dumb question; why is Wifi off if I'm Wifi tethering?

You can only tether your mobile data connection to other devices.
I figured I'd need WiFi on to broadcast to other WiFi devices.
if you are using wifi on the phone to connect to the internet then you would need your phone to connect as your devices already have wifi capabilities.
it is when you are out of wifi range that you tether by having your device send out its own wifi signal using your mobile data.
