Solved IOS 5 wifi tethering on iPhone 4

Personal hotspot did not work on my iphone ios5.
This (and battery life) is the main reason I reverted back to 4.3.3.
It let me turn the tethering (via personal hotspot) on but no other computer would recognise the new wireless iphone network.
ios5 bug number 4578754.

I found this solution somewhere.. don't remember where. It worked.
Go to settings
General
go down to bottom...the last option and select Reset.
Click Reset Network Settings.
After resetting, my laptop now shows my iPhone 4.
 
wtf.... you have to pay for it as a separate feature in the US???

that's wild.... it's included in pretty much all data plans in Canada, even the 6GB/$30 promo the companies recently had.
