As of right now there is now way to root the Shift if your running Gingerbread (2.3.3). According to a tweet from team win, fr3vo now supports the Shift for temporary root but no one has had any luck. Just be patient and a new method will be found.

EasyTether in the Market works for USB tethering, but haven't tried it since updating to Gingerbread.

Yeah pdanet is the same. But then again I already have licenses for all versions for it. I am starting to consider hacking it to work with linux...

I use the Pro version of Easytether, it's only a $10 one time fee and was well worth it IMO.
