hi

i have tried those apps without success (tethering with an ipad)

- Barnacle Wifi Tether
- tether wifi (from moussa)
- wireless tether 2.0 pre 10

I can see the network from my ipad but I can't use it (no wep answer on the ipad, no access control on the desire, ...)

If someone can help me with a link to an app that runs well on the desire ... (and only wifi tethering, no BT )

thanks

If you wait a few hours, Paul is on the verge of releasing a Cyanogen Mod ROM for the desire;) That will have all the apps you require for tethering built in. As well as a few nice extras such as overclocking and apps2sd built in;))) For me i cant stand Sense anyway, so im looking forward to this release;)

CYANOGEN 5.06 RELEASE

I've spent a bit of time working with the latest AOSP code, and figured out all of the necessary components to build a working system for the Nexus One from source. I put together a vendor overlay that can be used by any developer to build a working system for this device!

This build is currently based on AOSP 2.1_r2. I've also added most of the same things that you can find in the previous CyanogenMod versions.

Now available view CM Updater!

* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/



This is a pure, working AOSP build which you can use without any type of Google applications. I found a link from some other project that can be used to restore the Google parts, which can be found below or elsewhere in the thread. I've still included the various hardware-specific code, which seems to be slowly being open-sourced anyway.

* Can be used with or without Google applications
* Kernel 2.6.33.1 which supports highmem (thanks to Arve Hjønnevåg and the rest @ Google for this work), tethering (thanks to Zinx and Ben Buxton for the original RNDIS backport, and Google for merging the goodies into the gadget subsystem), VPN/tun, and other modules (cifs, nfs, aufs, fuse)
* Clean shutdown/startup system
* New Apps2SD method implemented mostly by Chris Soyars. Create an ext4 partition and enable it in settings->applications (wiki page coming soon)
* Built in USB tether
* Graphical enhancements, trippy bootanimation, #boobs, and excellent wallpapers by Prash
* ARM NEON optimizations from 0xdroid and Qualcomm
* Includes BusyBox, htop, nano, powertop, openvpn, bash, and all engineering commandline utilities
* FLAC audio support from Kenny Root
* Phone enhancements from Cytown
* Contacts enhancements from Wysie
* MMS enhancements from, well, everyone (see changelog)
* Perform zipalign-on-install of applications
* DeskClock tweaks- longer autosilence and "require unlock" option
* Massive APN list
* Huge collection of ringtones and audio
* Customizable Nexus live wallpaper by Chris Soyars and me
* All available locales are included thanks to PsychoBoy
* 360-degree auto-orientation by Optedoblivion and Elanthis (enable in settings)
* Full color trackball notifications (from Google)
* OpenVPN integration thanks to James Bottomley
* Music app can respond to double-click on the trackball and long-press on the volume buttons (from Metalhead)
* Launcher2 tweaks from ruqq
* Many other bugfixes and tweaks from AOSP contributors
* Tons of work on the build system by Koush and Chris Soyars

Same problem here :-(

May be this: http://code.google.c...id-wifi-tether/

That's one of the apps the OP tested. I tested it as well and sadly not working : (

[geek78]

we'll have to wait the coming 5.06 Paul firmware ...

[PaulOBrien]

Depends if it's a kernel issue or a ROM issue.

Does 'adb logcat' show anything untoward when you click to tether?

[seaders]

I think these are the key problems, but it tries to do loadsa stuff when you press it.

no update regarding wifi tethering?!?

I see that the problem is the same for all users: no dhcp connection with laptops or iPad.

I tried with a couple of different apps, the result is the same.
no way to connect the client.

[viskas]

I wrote to harald, the developer of the wifi tether application...
take a look at the answer. any of you can test the workaround?!?

"It's hard to add support for device which we don't have available for testing.

What helped on other HTC-devices were following commands (I think you are familiar with the adb-command?):

adb shell
su
/system/bin/ip route delete table gpr

Try the "ip route delete" command before and after enabling tethering.

Let me know if that helps (so we can add this workaround to the start-procedure)."

Hi, I'm getting errors from that command: seems that "gpr" was to be intended "gprs", but that's the result:

# /system/bin/ip route delete table gprs
/system/bin/ip route delete table gprs
RTNETLINK answers: No such process

I tried other options too, but with no luck (I'm not expert about that).

[wantchu]

i need it too ......

Could it be a driver issue?

Starting tether through adb shell (configured to use WEP):

# /data/data/android.tether/bin/tether start 1

I get this error:

about to run: [cd /data/local/tmp; mkdir /data/local/tmp/wpa_supplicant; wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -ieth0 -c/data/data/android.tether/conf/wpa_supplicant.conf]
ioctl[SIOCSIWMODE]: Invalid argument
Could not configure driver to use managed mode

Starting tether w/o WEP, no visible errors, but iwconfig isn't happy with the eth0 interface and complains when trying to change settings (this could be normal though)

I'm really interested in this as I got an iPad WIFI only ..

I'm following the Wifi-Tether Project on Google (http://code.google.c...id-wifi-tether/) but there it's not yet working ..

I tried his mod and didnt get wifi tether working;( Did anyone else?

[Reefster]

It's working! Well sort of!

It's a bit of a manual work around but see here for further information:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-teth...0&start=100 see comment 23.

Basically there seems to be a problem with the initial stages of communication between the PC and the Desire in wifi tether mode, maybe some kind of firewall.

This is what I did:

Installed wireless_thether_2_0-pre10.apk via SD card.
Installed a terminal emulator via the market.

1. Set WiFi Card static IP on the PC (mine was Windows 7) to 192.168.2.100/24 with a gateway of 192.168.2.254
2. Started WiFi Thether App with defaults only.
3. PC associates with the WiFi Tether access point.
4. Using a terminal emulator on the desire issued command 'ping -c 3 192.168.2.100'
5. No response to the ping command (100% packet loss)
6. A few seconds later the PC says its online.
7. Web page loaded (google.co.uk)

Happy tethering, in a workaround sort of way.

[wantchu]

it's working
with my desire and iPad

1) wireless_tether _2_0_1.apk
2) terminal emulator via market

3) started wifi tether on desire
4) connect iPad to desire wifi network
5) set ip static on iPad: IP address 192.168.2.100 - subnet mask 255.255.255.255 - gateway 192.168.2.254 - dns 192.168.2.254
6) ping with terminal emulator command : ping -t 192.168.2.100 or ping 192.168.2.100
7) killed ping
8) goto safari and surf on web .....

now i'm an happy man
