I cannot verify that it has been done, but the answer may be at this link.

The link above is directly from MOTOROLA! It says VERY CLEARLY...."Tip: You can utilize Webtop via WiFi at any time without the need for a tethering plan. The tethering plan is only required if you want to utilize webtop over the 3G/4G network. " Someone at Motorola needs to get with someone at ATT if they want to sell some docks!

After countless trips to ATT and calls to support I could not get a single person to tell me that you can use the dock over WiFi. A good attorney could have a field day with the link above and a single trip to an ATT store where they will tell him that he needs a " Tethering Package " added to his account.

I feel, as I am sure all other Atrix owners may, that the idea of having the Webtop over Wifi is a wonderful solution to utilize. If you work from your vehicle...you place your phone in the vehicle dock, when you get home you place it in your WebTop dock and Viola!

For now I will wait until ATT verifies that I can indeed do this and put it in writing so that I dont see " Tethering " charges applied to my account.
 
I used the Atrix with the HD Dock on my TV for Webtop over WiFi a couple times in the middle of March and I don't have tethering on my account. My bill from April 4 doesn't show any charges for tethering and I still have the unlimited data plan transferred over from my Blackberry.

If you're really concerned about it, maybe you can enable airplane mode to shut off the radio and then enable WiFi so that data only goes through WiFi.
