Motorola DROID Wi-Fi Tether Unofficially Phone

For those who want to use wireless tethering on their DROID Motorola, it is now possible thanks to the users on the forums droid.

The hack is courtesy of a user called webacoustics who managed to build a custom firmware from version 2.0.1. To run it requires root as might be expected, and a custom kernel and image recovery, but the instructions are set fairly easy to follow though as always I recommend you make any type of rooting material at your own risk.

More details on how to proceed including the root, kernel, and instructions for retrieving images are found on the Droid forums. If you can run it then do post a comment below, we would be interested to know what kind of up / down stream speeds are achieved. [via gadgetvenue]
