Why there is no TetherWifi in Galaxo 1.6.3 ?
Because of new Samsung’s modified drivers are included in 2.6.29 sources. It doesn’t support ad-hoc mode, and essid configuration… when trying to enabling this mode, the kernel crash, and then, the interface seems to be frozen… i see the network, but i’m unable to send/receive data from the interface.
I’ve tried a lot of thing, to offer you tetherwifi, spending a lot of hours, but i failed :
- Porting BroadCom opensource driver : failed, module doesn’t detect build-in galaxy wifi chipset.
- Porting old 2.6.27 drivers to 2.6.29 : failed, it’s crash the device..
- Porting Spica BroadCom 4325 drivers : failed..
We can’t use another devices or opensource driver, because Samsung use direct I/O with the motherboard, to enable, disable, changing mod of the chipset.
Yeah, like the rest, Samsung have also modified the broadcom drivers.
Sorry guys, there will be no tethering in Galaxo 1.6.3.

Don’t worry, yes we are interesting by tetherwifi but in the official release we had to do without it. So we can do without it 😉
I’m telling that wifitether is just a “bonus”.
Thx for your work 😀

Salut Drakaz,
Arrrrr… dur ! Merci en tout cas de tout tes efforts 😉
As for some other people, WifiTether is “the” feature I use daily (dont tell this to my telco, ey). This is the thing that block me from moving away from 1.5 (aka “Samsung shame”) 🙁
Do you think there could be way around going to bluettooth PAN or USBnet on “wifi tether” ?
Some mobile work with wifitether on bluetooth, but I was not able to figure out the reason.
At least, is the netfilter module buid-in so we can “try and play” with it ?
A+

Hi,
Have you tried other wireless tether software on this ROM? As I known, “Tether” is not the only tether app in the market. If you search “tether” in market, you will see “Barnacle Tether(Free)” and “Wifi tether(Need to pay)”. And there is a software “aNetShare”, which is not in market, can do the same work. They have the same function – tether.
However, they were not working in my Official JC6 ROM. Barnacle Tether is a bit different. I can see the adhoc network on my laptop but can not access the internet.As to the other two, I cannot see the network.
Anyway, I just hope you can try these apps to make it work. If you like, you may also contact the programmers of these apps to assist you. aNetShare can be downloaded here “http://dl.dropbox.com/u/914018/aNetShare-v2-30-20090326.apk”.
Hope one day I can tether my (future) ipad to get internet from my galaxy.
