SO I have a droid x and the wireless tether app (and yes I'm rooted).... but i dont see my android tether option under networks on my NC. Am i missing something? Sorry if this has been discussed!
No ad-hoc
Unfortunately Nooks (and most android devices) can't join ad-hoc networks. Details here: code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=11
I tried many hacks used for other devices and had no success yet.
Anyone using NC to tether to a android phone?
So I only have luck with Nexus One, but HTC phones are not working.
It's connected to the wifi hotspot of my desire HD, but the wifi is white in color (connecting to my home wifi, it's green). I guess white means it is not connected to the internet.
I have searched around, threads talk about NC not able to see adhoc networks, and I tried, but it didn't work.
Anyone else facing the same problem and managed to solve it?
ROM: CM7-RC4
Most modern smart-phones can do an infrastructure tether, instead of adhoc.
What tethering app are you using on the phone? is it secured?
If your phone only supports adhoc, it was perm disabled in one of the recent nightlies but you can re-enable it. Try searching the development fourm for "Adhoc enable"
I'm sending you this with my Nook via wifi-tether on my Droid Eris. Both are running CM7...makes things easy peasy.

My Nook is running CM7-RC4. My Desire HD isn't rooted, still running its stock wireless hotspot application. Everything else can connect to my desire HD's wireless hotspot, except my nook.

Maybe that's why it works on my friend's nexus1, it is running CM7-RC4 as well.

I do not know for sure, but you may want to look into rooting your phone and trying different Wifi tethering apps. My phone is by no means high-end (LG Vortex) and I'm using the WiFi hotspot widget, from the market, to tether to my nook.
Running Droid X with Teamblackhat 3g Hotspot patch. (easily findable on google) Tethering laptops, Nook Color, even a colleague's Iphone has worked flawlessly. Not sure if it's verizon exclusive though.
my htc hero is tethering just fine to my nook color. Im using the wireless tether app from market, might as well just root your phone.
No problems tethering to a Droid 2 Global running Fission ROM and using wireless-tether for root.
NC is running CM7 with Tablet Tweaks testing rom (latest plus customizations.)
No problems tethering my nook with my inspire

I tether all the time using MobileAP. Built in tether function on froyo and up. SGS Captivate here. Won't work with apps like android tether. They use adhoc.
I tether off my evo as my nooks only source of Internet.
Sz rc2d.
Oh well, still unsuccessful in finding a non-intrusive solution for this.
I'm using a Nokia E72 with the JoikuSpot application which creates an ad-hoc network and getting mixed results. It was working on the train earlier but now it's failing to find the network. I'm using CM7 RC4.
Pretty seamless with google nexus s to tether wirelessly. That is sure to change when gayTT takes over.

I figured with all the people who managed to tether, it could be a problem with the wifi hotspot app that HTC has bundled with their stock rom.
The weird thing is while clearly browsers, market don't work, gtalk & gmail still works.
I am unable to get my nook connect to an adhoc network broadcast from Ubuntu. It used to work fine under Windows but now that has stopped working as well. What settings are we supposed to use? Ive looked around and all people say is "create an adhoc network and connect to it"
Im running Honeycomb v4 on the emmc of my Nook Color
I am running tether from my droid 1 which only does ad hoc. The original wpa_supplicant on the nook can only read infrastructure. Don't remember where I found the one I have, but it works pretty well.

I'm interested in getting my wife's Nook Color to work with my HTC Hero. What version of wi-fi tether are you using? Have you done anything to the Nook to get it to work?
Thanks.

Has anyone sucessfully tethered their NC running CM 7.02 with an android phone? I can not get them to connect.
Yes I have tethered my tmobile vibrant running a non stock rom. What phone do you have?

Yes. If your Android phone is rooted, you can use wireless tether (free in the market). Depending on your phone, you may be able to tether via bluetooth as well. I use my Hero CDMA as a tether daily for internet as well as navigation and data transfer.
I'll second wireless tether, I have my Thunderbolt running wireless tether & my CM7 Nook connects without a hitch. I've heard Verizon is blocking wireless tether though, so you might have issues downloading it from the market if that's your carrier.

I'm tring to run WiFi tethering software so I can get internet access on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet. I have an original Motorola Droid phone. I rooted the phone and when I run any WiFi tethering software it's broadcasting in Ad-Hoc mode. For some reason my Tablet can't see any Ad-Hoc networks. So, this is a big problem for me.
My friend has a Droid Incredible and he has a custom ROM installed on his phone and his phone doesn't broadcast in Ad-Hoc mode, his phone broadcasts with a regular WiFi connection. Why does his work that way and mine only works in Ad-Hoc? Do I have to install a custom ROM to get mine to work in regular WiFi mode? If so, which ROM is recommended?
Another solution is to get my Tablet to recognize Ad-Hoc networks. Is there some way to do that also?
Thanks so much for all your help and time!
Which tethering app are you using?
Both Wireless Tether and the 2.2 default 3G Hotspot app are broadcasting in infrastructure mode.
I remember my Wii not being able to connect to a hotspot created via Wireless Tether - did'nt try 3G Hotspot yet...
Well, I've tried different Hot Spot Apps and they are all the same. I used the same app on both my Droid phone and my friends Incredible phone. His phone worked in Infrustructure and mine worked as Ad-Hoc. I don't know what default 3G Hostspot app you are talking about. My phone didn't come with any. From what I was reading it has to do with the hardware of the phone. Since my phone is so old it only supports Ad-Hoc and the newer phones support Infrustructure. I think that's what people are saying.
I've been reading there is a way to make Tablets see Ad-Hoc but I can't find any information on how to do it with the Toshiba Thrive Tablet. I guess there are different patches and you need to find the right version that's compatible with your Tablet.
So, the only solutions I can see is get a newer phone that supports Infrustructure or to find the patch that works with my Tablet and lets it see Ad-Hoc.
Thanks!

I am not great guru on these phones (or any for that matter). I have similar situation. Had an Evo4G that would wifi tether after root. This phone (Desire 510) seems to have additional guards. After installing the 3.0.3 of the wifi-tether apk there is a message that appears in the log indicating the phone takes control of the wireless ethernet interface after tethering has started. This kills the wifi tether.
I haven't identified what process is block the wifi tether but there is one called tetherguard. Mine is a Sprint phone so tether is available at a fee. The phone must be capable.
