Root Wireless Tether Problems

I an running Baked Snack w/ 2.6.32.15HeroMod Hero@Hero-over #2 for my Kernel. When I activate my wireless tether it shows up on some devices (i.e. laptop and ipad) but doesn't show up at all on most of the cheaper Android Tablets. Even when it connects on my laptop and ipad it doesn't let me access the internet or do anything, it just shows connected. I have a feeling it is the kernel, really just a hunch with no basis in fact or knowledge. It's not so much of a issue right now, because I haven't found a decent android tablet yet, but when I do, I will need functioning tether. I downloaded Barnacle, but havent had a chance to see if I get different results.

Thanks it advance for your help and yes, I searched first.:D
 
If you Dled it straight out of the market, then it likely doesn't work. Try a version that is dated earlier than the current one......this is a known problem.

OOOOOORRRRR......

You could flash a ROM that unlocks the native hotspot app.....and not worry about this problem....

This is interesting, when I turn on the native Hotspot App, it gives me an error message which I dismiss, then is says "Portable Hotspot EVO 7E5C41 active" However I still can't access the internet when I connect with this.

Which ROM would you recommend ? I am partial to the Sense UI.
 
I concur, had about 2 hours worth of trying to make the Market version to work, it didn't. Went to the site and downloaded the one for my phone. Worked like a charm. :)

Downloads - android-wifi-tether - Project Hosting on Google Code

Like everyone has mentioned, do not download wifi tether from the market, more than likely it will mess up on you, or not work at all. Go to the above link, choose your phone, and download from the highest number and work your way down. You'll find one that works for you. 11 and 9 always worked for me. Hope this helps!
