Before you say so, I've already searched the forum.
Which USB 3g dongles work with the latest Tiamat ROM which has the 3g WWAN module in the kernel?
There doesn't appear to be any tutorials on this forum.
I also have a question regarding this... except I am curious about apps like easy tether or pdanet.
I ask because I have a bionic on the way and wireless tethering is a no go for the time being...
Detailed instructions would be awesome! !!

I cannot get wifi tethering to work on my Droid 1 when running MIUI, stock froyo, or Cyanogen. I have tried Wireless Tether on all three ROMS, I can connect to the phone, but no Internet data is transferred. I'm currently using MIUI 12.3 and found that it has a built in wifi tether that also fails. Barnacle didn't work either.
From what I can figure out this may be either a kernel issue (I never changed it from stock, but MIUI may have its own?) or a problem with how I achieved root (superoneclick). I appreciate any and all advice! Thanks!
I am curious to see what the answer is. sorry i am no help to you. but i also have a old droid that i want to mess with first before i start messing with my evo.
Is there a way to get basic RNDIS or ECM support using a USB host cable?
I have a 4G USB dongle that is hostless, meaning it does not require any drivers to run. It simply needs the PC/Tablet to recognize ethernet over USB. It works great on a my laptop running either Win7 or Ubuntu without installing any drivers.
Using an OTG USB cable that I made the dongle will connect to the network just fine, just the Xoom does not recognize the ethernet connection over USB.
Can anyone offer some help? Right now my Xoom is completely stock, but if there is hope that this can work with some other kernel I am up for experimenting.
I'm not familiar with the method you're asking about, but Tiamat 1.4.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013
) has this listed in the release notes:
•Implemented USB Ethernet for USB Tether from phone to Xoom!
Whether it meets your protocol needs is the question to ask in that thread I guess?
I noticed that as well. I am currently running completely stock right now. I am a little concerned with going down this path. I know there is a ton of information out there and honestly it is a bit overwhelming. I am not concerned with the actual process but more any negative impacts to running a custom kernel. I am not even sure if these are valid concerns.
-OTA updates
-Netflick and Google Movies
-Android and Amazon purchased applications
-Stability
I know this is going to derail this topic but can you share with me your experience?
Netflix works on my rooted epic, just Google movies seem to be the issue.
All app purchases are linked to your respective accounts, they carry across devices and flashes.
OTA updates should never be excepted if your rooted.
Stability is usually greater on custom kernels and Roms than the stock experience. How ever it can take a few flashes to find the right combination for your taste, style, and needs.

There is a lot of info and paths to choose. Go slowly and follow directions concisely. If you're not sure ask before embarking.
If it doesn't work out you can always go back to stock.
Ota are always reworked for rooted users - never accept an ota on a customer kernel without the dev saying OK.
Google movies doesn't work - I'll bet Google is afraid that stream recording will take place and they have to avoid piracy.
Netflix doesn't exist for xoom yet but there's a good chance it will work since Netflix auth is by device/account, not just account.
Market follows account - any device any kernel.
Stability varies on kernels, but the most popular ones are usually more stable and have better features/fixes than stock.

Thank you both for your comments. I may just go the Tiamat route. I need to find a good step by step guide, including all steps to go from bone stock to having the custom kernel. There are a lot of guides on doing each step individually, but it would be nice to find one concise guide so I do not miss something in the middle.
I am pretty happy with my Xoom now, the only driving factors are the USB over ethernet and it would be nice to use my SD card for something. Neither one of these is a huge deal, just a nice to have. Given enough time I think Google\Motorola will fix the SD card. The USB over ethernet is more of a neat trick. I am usually in an area with WiFi and if not I can BT tether to my phone. The WiMax dongle would be interesting to have as a third option.
I see there are some options with the latest kernel with how much overclocking, so I will most likely be conservative and go with the slower one.
Hi All,
My first post but long time lurker. As the topic header mentions, I am looking for a way to build 3G into a kernel or install a pre-built one.
In order for my kids to play Storm8 games on an android tablet, they must have 3G support built into the kernel which is lacking on a stock kernel. I did my research long before I asked on here and found some people talking about Clemsyn built a kernel based on the xoom kernel which would have 3G support built in. When I search for it, I don't find it. Am I looking in the wrong area, am I looking for a ghost? Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way, keep up the great work guys!
If you dont have a chance to get your hands on a TF101G with built-in 3G, you can follow this tutorial to get 3G enabled on your TF101:
How to enable 3G on your TF101
There are two requirements:
1. You need a 3G-stick which is compatible to your TF101 (just have a look in the tutorials compatbility-list)
2. You need some time and patience!
I did the same on my TF with a Huawei-3G-stick (Vodafone) and it works flawlessly @ Revolver 2.5 custom-rom. If you need any help get it working, feel free to ask .
I installed the v2 Miui mod for the Sprint HTC Hero but I cannot get it to connect to the wireless internet.
No I do not have the bluetooth on.
I have tried searching around the forum with no success and I am hoping you guys can give me some suggestions (though I will probably flash the latest build to see if it helps in the mean time).
Thank you in advance for helping me with my sorry learning phone.
I am looking for an ICS rom that has a solid working Wifi-Tether program/connection/solution?
I'm a sys admin and like to work remotely...sometimes in places where there is no net connectivity.
If anybody has a suggestion for me...I am greatly appreciative!!
Even if its not ICS, I am open to downgrade until they hopefully sort it out with CM9.
Thanks everybody!
On any ICS ROM:
1) Download Barnacle and Wifi Tether for Root Users.
2) Open Barnacle, check "skip wpa supplicant" in settings, run it, then turn it off once it's closed.
3) Run Wifi Tether and connect your device to your phone.

Thanks...I understand about barnacle and skipping the wpa supplicant...but what do I do after that, because I still cannot get it to work properly??
not sure but I think VirtuousRom's primadonna might do; they say it's alpha but I use it as a daily driver and only have to reboot once a day ;-)
The latest cyanogenmod9 alpha5 by tbalden & korneyone now natively supports the wifi tethering. I've been using it for several months and the bugs are almost non-existent (certainly unnoticeable to the majority). I think the only one that most people would notice is the lack of 1080p support (but 720p still works perfectly)! There's a few others out there, but they are mainly only in the more obscure features.
