Hey guys, I rooted my phone earlier today and installed several root apps. One of which is the wi-fi tether. I have the android.tether folder on my sd card still but it wont work all of a sudden. I tried it right after rooting and it worked great, but now it doesnt seem to want to work properly. I can start the tethering, then I connect with my computer, but I do not receive internet, anymore. The 3g icon on my phone goes gray and my computer says something a long the lines of no network connection, underneath Androidtether. Any ideas?

go to:
Downloads - android-wifi-tether - Project Hosting on Google Code

And download the latest wifitether version (at this time it's wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre2.apk) but make sure you have an android.tether folder on the root of your sdcard with a file fw_bcm4329.bin (http://goo.gl/8jaD) inside it.
