You could flash a AOSP based custom rom (many good ones around) and try if that works better, make a nandroid backup of the CM rom so you can revert to it if you want.

Simply saying "My Wi-Fi doesn't work." is very, very general. Be more specific. What's going on with it specifically?

Are you sure it isn't router related? Do you get an error message or failing to obtain ip address.
Sent from my Inspire 4G or Desire HD or whatever this thing is called via XDA app.
I rebooted and it worked. Running CM 7 nightly 8. Stock Kernel.
it just hangs at optaining ip address and doesnot move from there, also, i got fed up n went back to stock unrooted and it still doesnt work, but it was working before i started all this madness
Do other devices on your network have any trouble accessing the wireless router? What kind of router is it?

AOKP/CM9/AOSP USB Tethering

Hi
I have just flashed AOKP Milestone 6 and was wondering if there was a way to make my phone use my PC's internet.
I know in Sense roms this can be done but im not sure if it can in CM9/AOKP/AOSP roms.
I have tryed using the USB Tethering option in settings but i belive this will give my PC internet via my phone.

Anyone having issues with tethering?

I can't seem to get any tethering apps to work. No barnacle, Android wifi tether for root users, Foxfi, nothing...I'm rooted and unlocked, currently running the rooted stock 2.20 ROM, but I've also had Milestone 6.3 and 6.4 AOKP and same issue.
The wireless network shows up on my PC, but I can never connect to it. Any ideas?

Answered my own question.
In the Wifi tether app settings, change device profile to generic ICS, then hit menu and reinstall binaries. Worked immediately for me after that. Haven't tried barnacle again because I didn't need it, but Wifi Tether for Root users works great.

[Q] WIFI Tethering on CM10.2

Has anyone managed to get WIFI tethering working on CM10.2?
I can set up an AP, and devices can connect to it, however they cannot get a connection out to the internet.
I've tried using the standard CM 10.2 method, and a variety of apps, but its just not working.
Sorry to bump this. I really need to get WIFI tethering working. It worked on the stock ROM but I can't get it to work on CM 10.2.
Has anyone got WIFI tethering working on CM 10.2 and if so, can you tell me what you did?

[Q] Katkiss 4.4.2 on TF101G - Hotspot not working

First of all - great work, I love Katkiss
I run 4.4.2 023 on my old TF101G (took a while) with the 101G kernel and so far it works great.
I was able to make a 3G connection via PPPWidget and can now download / update everything, even through PlayStore.
One problem remains though. The 101G also served as a hotspot for my laptop at work and easily connected it via its own WIFI Hotspot.
The Hotspot can still be setup and activated in KatKiss, however no other phone or PC in range actually detects it....
What am I missing?
Thx in advance for all the help

I'm running 4.4.3_29 and seem to be having the same issue. Will try reflashing with the new 4.4.4_30 and try again.
