Tablet can not see barnacle teethering off epic phone

[Cyberguru]

Interesting issue. I could not find something similar through search so I'll see what posting will produce.

I have a rooted Samsung 10.1 tablet.
Next I have a rooted samsung epic with Barnacle Teethering.

Now barnacle works with my laptop and workstation when I'm testing apps and need an outside DNS.
But the 10.1 tab can not see any connections.

The tablet CAN see my regular business wifi linksys router.

So i was wondering why just the tablet couldn't see barnacle. I then installed a 3rd party wifi search app onto the tablet from the market and it COULD see the barnacle connection.

So why does the default OS on the tablet not have the ability to see the connection?

Default OS will not see an ad hoc connection. Is that what Barnacle was presenting? On my rooted (but not ROMmed) Charge, I use Wireless Tether, which I have configured for infrastructure mode and have zero problems tethering my stock GTab to the phone.

I believe you may be correct. But I'm not sure how to get barnacle to go into Inf. mode and no ad-hoc. There does not appear to be any settings that let you differentiate the two

Additionally I have been trying to tether through pdanet blue tooth but that appears additionally to not be working.

Pair your phone and tablet by bluetooth. Do not try to connect them though. Start pdanet for tablets as server on your phone and client on your tablet. Follow the instructions that come up. It will eatablish a bluetooth connection and you'll be able to use the internet browser, gmail, and google maps.

There is a workaround for the tab that requires an edit of a system file. Search XDA for the how-to and detailed instructions. Remember to backup before attempting the edit.

Here is the thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1083182

Read through it and backup. I used root explorer to insert the edits.

Barnacle is ad hoc only. SGT 10.1 cannot recognize without changing the internals. Easiest solution is to download android-wifi-tether's latest release and ensure the "Change Device-Profile" is set to Samsung Epic 4 G in the settings.

You will need to side load the apk (I used Drop Box). The download is at:

android-wifi-tether - Wireless Tether for Root Users - Google Project Hosting

Is working great for me - good luck.
