Re: [ROM][WIP]CM9.0 RC0-BobZ
thanks for this. android-wifi-tether is open source so i can go take a crack at it now, wasnt sure which model to check out the code for
(I posted this elsewhere but figured it would be worth reporting here; Just for context, I was commenting on the WiFi tethering hanging--Bluetooth tethering, however, does work).
I found a free WiFi Tether that works with a little coaxing.

Didn't work "out of the box."
In the options I set the Device Profile to LG Optimus S and the Setup Method to Netd (master)
After that it showed up as an infrastructure access point and I was able to tether my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and my wife's Kindle Fire to it. Might be my imagination but it seemed like the BT tether was faster. Will have to test. But for things like the fire, that's not an option.
I don't think it mattered, but I turned on WPA2 and set a different SSID. Told it not to shut off BT either. But I don't think any of that made it work.
The developer says: If you notice reboots or if the wifi-interface is unusable after tethering UNCHECK the "Force wifi-driver reload"-option in app-setting.
This was the case. The default checked setting made the WiFi connection unusable after a tether. With this box unticked, I could shut down the tether and reconnect to my normal wifi network.
