Hi, I need a way to tether my Mini Pro (Slade's CM6), and USB tethering doesn't work, it gives 'usb tethering error'. Barnacle Wifi Tether doesn't work either, and the rom doesn't have iptables support for other wifi tethering.
Is there a working tether that will let me use my Mini's 3g connection with my notebook?
I assumed this would be something alot of people would use, but I can't find much info on it, besides something about modding wpa-supplicant (which I'm not keen on) , so I thought I would start a thread just for this issue.
Hopefully this won't just be ignored; if i'm missing something obvious, please be kind and point it out to me. Thx

Barnacle does work on CM6
Yes dude. Barnacle doesn't work because the port is already used. Don't know what app is using it... USB tethering seems not working. Based on my question at CM6 thread, unless the kernel has netfilter enabled, there won't be any native tethering.
So I go back to stock ROM, which very pleasant to use for regular smart phone user like me who apreciate great UX.
Barnacle works on cm6
Try this:
Baranacle Wifi Settings:
1. Change SSID - [User Preference]
2. Change Channel - 6
3. Custom Wifi Ad-hoc - NONE
4. Skip wpa_supplicant - CHECK
5. Restart Phone As Desired
That was what I did, and then it worked
If it was helpfull give me a thumbs up

Ah, it was the 'restart phone' that did it, I think... Now at least it starts the network, and my linux box sees it. Can't connect yet, but I thikn that's a linux problem. Thanks a bunch!

Try PdaNet. Works great for me, never had a single problem. Just make sure you kill ADB before connecting the modem.
Barnacle works fine for me on CM6
My settings are different
1. SSID - Unchanged
2. Channel - 6
3. Custom Wifi Ad-hoc - NONE
4. Skip wpa_supplicant - UNCHECKED
5. Access Control CHECKED because Barnacle doesn't seem to work for me with Wireless Encryption. When Client connects I go to Clients tab and tick box to allow access to internet
6. No need to reboot

Hi everybody. Now that I have rooted my mini I could install Barnacle wifi tethering for connecting to my laptop. But after long trials I am still not able to connect my phone with my laptop.
Can anybody with prior experience help me in this regard
For wired tethering I use Easytether which works great.
I havent tryed yet, but try setting the WLAN interface to "tiwlan0" and/or try skipping wpa_supplicant
Regards

Wonderful. It is connected with your suggestions. Many thanks.

Thanks, I also got this to work. What I wonder now is if it is possible to have security for this tether. When we choose skip wpa_supplicant then the security is disabled and it is an open network. When traveling and visiting public places I would be somewhat uncomfortable to have this open network. Barnacle does provide the WEP security option, but in order for this app to work with the x10 mini we need to choose skip wpa_supplicant which opens up the network to all. Any ideas?
I had to change WAN-setting & disable security too to even find the WiFi network.
However, when I connect it doesn't work. I see the in Barnacle "traffic"-pane that my computer sends requests when I try to load a webpage in the browser. But the down-traffic won't increase. Anyone know the next step in troubleshooting?
i left all the settings stock except turned on skip wpa supplicant. mine works great i ran ping- t all night and only lost 15 packs 0% loss, which is less loss than my friends cable internet.
when i first got it working i was using a mix of settings and i had to hit associate every 5 min or my laptop would stop having access to the internet but still remain connected to the network. so i just reinstalled it and it works great now.
This feature is one of the main reason why i bought an android device.
Edit:
after a few more days of pissing about with barnacle i realized that it cuts out when ever the phone is not being charged and falls a sleep and as long as i keep the phone awake its fine. the solution i came to was to open music player and play a song with the volume off and that keeps the phone from going into sleep mode. i know there's supposed to be a setting to stop wifi from turning off while in sleep but i have a branded rom and it doesn't appear i have the option. hope this helps someone.
There are two versions out there, 0.4.2 and 0.5.0. What version do you guys run?
anyone share the settings for barnacle wifi tethering. Its not working in my rooted x10 mini.

I have the exact same problem and have tried everything listed here Anyone find a solution??
It works for me now using Barnacle Wifi Tether 0.6.7 and a SE X10 mini 2.1. Had the same problem before. Now my settings are:
Wireless Encryption: Wep Enabled (with hex password code)
Channel: 6
"Skip wpa_supplicant" - unchecked
Wan: tiwlan0
Hi all.
BarnacleWifi worked fine for two weeks but until I setup new android vertion 2.1.1.A.0.6 he doesn't.
Anyone try it with this one ?
Regards,
Devilo.
Edit: I can see the network on windows7 but when I try to connect, it freeze on "Identification" and I never have ip adress
DHCP doesn't work.
Same here :-(.
It finaly works on my mini with 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware.
On MiniCM-1.0.0-Alpha2, Froyo Cyanogen 6.1 port for the mini "Rom"
Dont forget skip WPA supplicant.
Regards
Devilo.
On X10 mini Barnacle works without skip wpa suplicant! After a few trys and som Observation I found the Problem. Every baconinginterval the adhoc Network have a other MAC. I try to set a fix BSSID in Barnacle but now i can't find the Network so i undo it.
After some Trys i found a workaround:
1. Start Barnacle
2. Press Associate
3. Try to connect with your Computer
4. After entering password, your Computer try to connect, press 1 time again Associate
My Settings are:
WEP Encyrpting: Enabled
Skip wpa_supplicant: Disabled
Auto Associate: Disabled
WAN: rmnet0
still not conneting
It's still not working on my x10mp 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware. My PC (Debian or Win7 have the same problem) still doesn't connect.
Barnacle on phone is showing no errors. PC is finding the wireless network but can't connect. Looks like it does not get an answer from phone (no IP address assigned).
I surely have tried all the advices from this forum and any google search gave me.
Same problem here guys - this was the reason for rooting my x10 mini

same here..
And I haven't found any solutions yet ... thankful for any suggestions ...

Anyone care to post his configuration for android 2.1?
Ok, I only need barnacle so that I can create an adhoc network, no 3G connection.
Is this possible?

barnacle is working well for our minis.
1. enable data traffic
2. in the barnacle settings menu i set the name "X10 mini" at SSID and i checked WEP enabled and i set my password - 5 letters
3. go back and push start
4. allow superuser access
5. enable wireless from laptop/pc and push many times refresh
6. when the hotspot appear ("X10 mini" in my case) click connect and give the password
7. when the laptop is trying to set the ip (when the small wireless icon near the clock is clicking) push "associate" from the bottom of the display (near start button)
8. you must ensure that your laptop is not using any proxy
i tried with stock rom and kernel and also with your awesome roms and kernels.
And when auto-asociate is cheked wifi hotspot is much faster connectiable and foundable.
NAT must be enablet too.
But hey you say ad-hock which mean you wanna make adhock without 3.party app? Or what?
The NAT from this apps always retrace the 3G net.
What are u up to do NAa

I know this is a dumb question, but can someone please tell me how I achieve tethering. I know it is set up to work on this rom but I don't know how to make it actually happen!
Thanks so much
Edit: I have the 'free tether' option selected in wireless settings
You could just download the "Wireless Tether" from Google Code. It works perfectly even on the Atrix as long as you're rooted. Should work on all the GingerBlur/Adeo mods too.
Which version do you use?
Also, does this need to use wifi, I'm trying to tether with just data connex

think about this for a minute. if you have wifi, why would you need tether?
of course tethering works on data only, it uses your wifi ON THE PHONE to create its own wifi network
you dont have to download any app, just open Settings, Wireless and Networks, MOBILE HOTSPOT, and turn it on.....
well thanks pirateghost...for the somewhat sarcastic reply. lol .
yes, sure that does make sense, duh! ...i guess it hadn't occured to me bc i assumed tethering was done thru a usb cable as i had done on WM before. something was wrong with my settings to make the wifi hotspot connect. i had to open the apn and save it (without making changes to it). this allowed it to connect and now have it working thru the hotspot.

Haha nice catch I didnt notice that. Let me power up my delorean and get 6.5 for all us. I think that is the last version before Motorola unlocked the bootloader. Wireless tether is what is recommended since there are many guides for it and works with all operating systems whereas usb would not. You could try pdanet which I paid for but not on my current device. That supports both however $30 might be more than you are willing to pay for usb support
Does anyone know any apps that creates a Wifi AP? I am not talking about an Adhoc network that all apps I have used create, I want it to work like native tethering.
I am asking because I am using polish blood preRC, and I really want to use it full time, the only thing is native tethers do not work and all apps create an Adhoc network.
Normally this isn't a problem, however I wish to use my PS3 over my phone's 3G connection, this is where the problem comes in, the PS3 does not see Adhoc networks so most, if not all tether apps will not work.
I have tried to use connectify while I have a usb tether connected however the PS3 cannot connect to the internet, I also would prefer to avoid using my laptop as an AP.
So anyone know a decent Wifi tether app that will create an AP like native tethering, not an Adhoc network
Are you sure that PS3 cannot connect to Ad hoc networks?
Here is an article about it http://www.ehow.com/how_6808376_can-connect-ad-hoc-network_.html
and it says PS3 can connect to Ad hoc networks.
Check if you configured everything properly.
Also Wireless tether app supports AP mode but only on certain handsets (HTC Evo 3D for example). It looks like it doesn't support our device.
Mine has never seen an adhoc network from my phone, guess I'll check it tonight when I can get on it.

Check wifi channels, anything between 1-11 channel will work.

Don't use this ICS. It's still in very early stage of developement. It's only for money.. If you really need a ICS on your Swift, then try AOKP 4.0.3. by DevSwift. Probably an update will come very soon. I was using it on my swift for 1-2 weeks, and I was happy with it. Now I changed the whole phone.

Sorry for the mislead, PS3 doesn't work with ad hoc networks.
But here is a possible solution:
1)Download latest WiFi tether beta http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk
2)Open it and then go to Settings
3)Change Device-Profile to Google NexusOne
4)Change Setup-Method to Netd (master)
5)Start tethering and that's it
Note: I haven't tested this on Mike's CM9 but it did work on CM7, so try it, and tell us if it works.
Just to warn you there is probability to get kernel panics with this settings.
EDIT: I have tested this on Mike's CM9 and can't get it to work. Simply wait till Mike fixes WiFi tethering, or flash CM7 or some other ROM.
You can try a couple of options...
1. Hosted Network Starter
Free: Simple hostpot on your pc with non configurable DHCP
www.nirsoft.net/utils/wifi_hotspot_starter.html
2. WiFi Tether Router
Paid: Android app for rooted phones with full featured DHCP, VPN, etc

Hi All - coming to the LGOG from the SG Note which had no problems stock rooted - wifi tether working - just changed profile to I think nexus or something can't remember.
Has anyone consistently been able to get hotspot to enable on the stock ROM? what are the settings you are using in wifi tether? Assuming that is how you were able to get it to run. I am rooted on Jellybean - i have tried what google suggested and forum search suggested with no joy.
Tried - device profile SG3, generic ICS / JB (lan0)
It launches but no devices see it broadcasting? HELP!
Need this feature - want to stay with stock ROM if possible?
Thanks

Works with stock as well. Use netd-ndc (master) and you should see your Wi-Fi ssid available. Choose an alternate lan if you can see the net but not get a connection. Search these forums, there is a little more detail posted.

I used wireless tether on a SG note and was not charged, didn't get any notifications either and it was a stock ROM rooted. I didn't use it that heavily though in terms of data downloaded mostly just syncing laptop for work.

Yes, didn't mention it because it was what you said (Generic ics/jb wlan0).
Did you try a different lan selection? I don't know what about it would make your laptop crash - sounds like an issue with your laptop that is incompatible with something in the AP settings.
You might need to try the netd max client cmd option too.
I also have a method (no sexy app, just a few commands I put into a script) that lets me run a socks proxy on my phone while my phone is a regular wifi client on my network (just brings up wifi without disabling data), and I can point my pc's web browser at it, thus usable even with wired pc's on my network. You can go a step further and apply the iptables rules the way wifi tether does, point your default gateway at it, and be tethered too.

OK - SOLUTION!!!!
the centrino driver on my Laptop gets a BSOD when connecting to the wifi hotspot with this phone and nexus 4 i guess- it is an identified issue on the Intel wireless community some people installed older drivers for their chipset to get it working, but mine does not have older drivers it is an ASUS UX31a (love this ultrabook) - final solution was to disable N mode on the advanced tab of the wireless chipset. Connects now no problem and stays connected.
my work laptop OLD intel chipset has no problem and hooked right up to the tether
Settings:
Wireless tether
Device profile - (Generic ics/jb wlan0)
Device Set-up method - Netd-NDC (master)
Lan- 192.168.1.0/24 (thanks Jdoc i did change this was defaulted to 192.168.2.0/24)
Hope if anyone else is in a quandry on this it helped - thanks for the support!
Cool - do you get the data display on the wifi tether screen (amount transferred and speed)? I had this but it seems like the JB update made it go away - maybe their method of collecting the data is incompatible with JB or maybe something else got trashed in the update.
Thanks for posting your solution.

I'm stock/rooted at&t JB and using these settings:
Device profile - (Generic ics/jb wlan0)

and while tethering works fine, I cannot get wifi back after stopping the tether and closing wifi-tether. I can't get wifi back until I reboot the phone. I've tried a number of device profiles (generic, generic ics/jb (both of them), SGSIII) and they all behave the same way. I didn't have this trouble with the stock ICS, this just started with the at&t jb update.

That's what I had to do too. Wifi wouldn't turn back on unless I rebooted. I'm not sure how to get it working, considering I'm on Rootbox now.
