i have only use Barnacle, free from market... that works
not tested it extensively though
Thanks, I'll check it out
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Yeah Barnacle works. I tried a few others which didn't. On my 2.1 streak many reported no netfilter in the kernel and wouldn't run, but Barnacle worked fine.
Many thanks I checked it out. Unfortunately it does not do usb. I have pcs without wireless.
Don't want to use PDAnet, I might get a bluetooth dongle and use the barnacle app.

Get a wifi dongle, faster, more reliable, and can be had for about $10 (USD) if you poke around.
And +1 for Barnacle Legacy wifi - works great, perfect price!
any word on a usb tethering application yet?
I've tried the few that I worked with before and they all claim that there is no kernel support. Barnacle works great for wifi, but I tether my laptop from work and since I can't turn off SSID broadcast I would rather not have network security poking around asking where a rogue WAP came from.
Thanks ahead of time.
Running 2.1
build: 6941
I am using EasyTether right now while I am waiting for my home internet to be connected. Ive managed to get through many Gb of data (sorry phone provider). It is free but if you dont pay for it then you wont be able to access https:// sites after a while.
The easy tether is usb, I think

Would Barnacle allow the streak to connect to a home network? I've tried to use it but it only seems to use WEP encryption and I'd need it to use WPA.

Barnacle is for sharing your 3G connection over wifi, not connecting to wifi. The Streak should connect to your wifi with wpa just fine.
Barnacle seems to be blocked by AT&T so I can't get to in through the app store. Anyone have a link directly to the sdk??

Yes the Streak connects to the router but I wanted to be able to access the nas on my home network from the Streak, hoped Barnacle would facilitate that.
Thanks for the link! Was wondering why I could not find it...
Which version of Barnacle is recommended? There are two files there. And does one need root for this to work?
Thanks!
Bbarnacle does require your phone to be rooted. The two files might be two different update versions or for different android OS's (1.6, 2.1, etc.)
Barnacle providing only local access. aka no internet
Can someone help me to get my barnacle app working? I have a rooted Dell Streak running 1.6 US. The app connects to my laptop fine but it only allows local access. I tried looking through the FAQ and settings in the app but I can't find anything that would fix the issue.
Thanks!

Has anyone tried to tether the cpu using pdanet, then creating a hotspot on the cpu using its built in wireless adapter? Wireless Wifi apps arent working for me so I'd thought I try thinking outside of the box. But I haven't gotten it to work yet
The whole point of tethering is to send a wifi signal without using your computer.
Noone wants to carry their computer around all the time, but sometimes you need internet on your devices that dont have a usb port.
Yea its mostly so I can create a wireless hotspot at home so I can use my ipod touch

Why not just use one of the many temp root methods and tether like that if you want WiFi for your iTouch?
Temp Root + Wireless Tether for Root Users
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
It initially tells you that you aren't root, but then it works fine when you enable it (at least for me on the newest beta).
Yea I have that. It doesn't work consistently but ima try re-rooting my phone

Use PdaNet to tether to your laptop. Use Connectify on your laptop to create Wifi Hotspot.
I'll try that and report back if it works

They wont scold you for trying it. But it won't work unless you sign up for the additional service which costs $25 or $29 per month (can't remember which).
Is there no root app that allows us to use the Droid X2 as a wifi tether without the extra monthly charge? I keep seeing references to others who say they are doing this, but no one seems to want to say exactly what app they are using.

Actually I just tried it and I can connect to the internet with my W7 laptop with that ad-hoc tether program running on my Droid X2. I'm sending this reply over that connection.
I guess, as implied earlier in the thread, W7 makes provisions for ad-hoc. Don't know about other versions of Windows. My Samsung Galaxy Tab cannot see the connection.
still looking for a hotspot instead of ad-hoc wireless tether though, got multiple wi-fi devices that I may want to connect...
I am interested in the infrastructure Wifi as well. I am attempting to connect a Color Nook to the DX2 and can't get it to recognize the ad-hoc network.
for the NC, you have to dload an adhoc wifi supplicant file. then you have to replace the existing wifi supplicant file w/ it and then reboot. your NC should now be able to see and connect to ad hoc networks.
google is your friend.

FWIW The Wifi Teather program works with the new 2nd Generation B&W nook (at least since firmware update 1.0.1 - don't know if it worked before). So now the ad-hoc wifi teather works with my laptop running Win7 and my completely stock nook. I'm happy
im assuming there is no solution yet. im still using the ad-hoc method for now. but i would love to see a true hotspot
I don't know why people don't understand that you specifically said infrastructure vs ad hoc. You can use the phone for infrastructure for free.
First use the hotspot app and wait for it to start up.
Hook up your computer and open your browser
when it takes you to verizons website, all is good.
go to your phones dialer and type in *#*#INFO#*#* or *#*#4636
select phone info
go down almost to the bottom and you will see a button that says "turn off radio"
Press this and wait 10 seconds and press it again to turn it back on.
Now when it regains 3g signal you should have internet access on your computer.
You may have to redo this a few times for it to work. It works for me 75% of the time. Sometimes it doesn't work but most of the time it does.
Good luck

PDANet works on mine. I think wifi tether will work if you're rooted. I am not rooted, so cannot say for sure.
I just rooted. I installed wifi tether. The phone makes it look like its working but if it does not show up in the network list of any of my devices like my laptop and my tablet. Anyone have wifi tether working after root?
I used the 3.2 beta of WiFi tether on my rooted photon and it worked great for me.
Which WiFi tether are you using? Who is the author? Did you get it from the market?
Nevermind, I picked up Barnacle Wifi from the market and it appears to work fine. I am posting this message from my Macbook over the barnacle wifi on my photon

Scratch this! The Barnacle program does work but when you turn it off and I did this twice to repeat it, I had to reboot my Macbook, my phone and for whatever reason why my home router in order to get my Macbook and Photon to connect to my home network again. So I guess back to square 1, anyone know a program that works properly? I have tried many now including different versions of WiFi tether and my Photon will not show up on any of my device networks.

I used pdanet to USB tether and ir0t worked great. It was almost too easy!
I can confirm that WiFi Tether if you go to there website the 3.1 Beta 2 appears to work perfectly on a rooted Photon. My phone now shows up as a network and with security on and everything my tablet and laptop surfed the net no problem.
I disagree 3.2 doesnt work , the best you can get is adhoc and it tells you that access control can not be enabled
I can confirm that my paid-for copy of PDAnet 3.02 works on my Windows laptop w/ my non-rooted Photon over USB. However, PDAnet does not do wifi tethering.

Just a heads-up for anyone trying to connect to WiFi Tether with some/most Android tablets (like my Xoom). You might need to modify your device to be able to join ad-hoc networks. For the Xoom, it was as easy as replacing the wpa_supplicant binary.
Before I changed that file, my Xoom couldn't see the wireless network that my MoPho was broadcasting.

Try wifi tether, a quick google will bring up the google code webpage.
Once it is installed go into the settings,
Select the proper device profile,
check Routing Fix.
make sure wifi driver reload is checked.
Sometimes the tethering needs to be fully started, then stopped and then closed. Once you reopen it you should be good to go to connect with your laptop.

So you can tether your xbox wirelessly with the wifi tether app? That means the issue is with your laptop. have you tried another wireless network to see if you can connect to that with your laptop? also have you updated the drivers on the laptop. Also you can try to disable your firewall on the laptop.
Yah everything else connects to my laptop. I even have a Verizon mifi that's works perfectly. And my phone plays nice with everything else. The only thing wrong with with my laptop is that it doesnt wanna tether. Just says what I posted 2 posts above. How would I go about removing the firewall?

Wireless tether is known to not play nice with some Intel wireless cards. The only sure-fire way to fix it that I've found is to set a static IP configuration based on what the phone is transmitting. It seems like the wireless card doesn't want to pick up the phone's IP address, so you have to do that manually. Tedious, but effective.
Ok. I'm not very computer savvy so how would I find out what my phones IP address or whatever and how would I manually input into my computer? I do have an Intel wireless adapter.

Ive tried a couple versions of the usual Wireless Tether.apk, but I still only get wep as an option. Trying to find a way to get WPA2 to work.
I am using "Wireless Tether for Root Users" V2.0-7 and its working perfectly. None of the newer beta versions have worked correctly for me so far..
It seems to work in ad-hoc mode only though... but it works fine for me. I'm not using WPA either, I just leave it open with access control turned on.
Barnacle
I'm using Barnacle Wireless Tether from the app store and it's working EXCELLENT. Even brings over the 4G speed but is also working in Ad-hoc mode.

Some devices do and some dont detect ad-hoc networks. Until we get a custom kernel capable, and software to manipulate it, we're stuck with ad-hoc only, which works for like, 95% of devices that would need to connect to it.
