Download and install, but dont open, wireless tether. You cant find it in the market anymore, but a quick seach will find it. Once installed use astro file manager, or any other app, and create a folder on the root of your sd card called android.tether then add this file in there fw_bcm4329.bin. Now finally open the program, you should see it say something like configs loaded, and you should be all set.

I can do this without rooting the phone?

No need to root. Just follow the directions in this post to activate your hotspot (look at post #60 for better step-by-step instructions):

Did you tap the Call button after ##778? I only ask because some folks had similar problems. Also, look at post #112 - 117, it may work for you.

Update: Just saw your post in the original thread. Did you try the soft reboot mentioned in the above posts?

I went ahead and rooted the phone. Just finished.

Followed all the instructions here:

Can you explain this step further? When I go to /root I cannot create a New folder, option is grayed out.
Can I just use Windows Explorer and go to my sdcart and create new folder and drop the .bin in there? If so, which folder is root folder located? (D:xxxxx\xxxxx)

At the end how do I open the program?

someone please give me detailed instructions

/root isnt your sd card. You need to make it on the sd card. Should be something like /sd/android.thether

I'm running the latest full release of cyanogenmod on my Dink and I can tether my MBP but not my iPad. Is there something about the iPad that may not be friendly with 3G tethering such as security? Anything about cyanogenmod that might not be friendly to the iPad?

Does the ipad see the network?

Make sure auto connect is enabled on your ipad, just a thought.
