I am running 10.5.6 and i have been tethering almost everyday at school because they disabled the wireless there! ha Anyways i was first just using bluetooth and that was good but it killed battery life. All i did was pair the 2 devices, but it would connect like 1 out of the 5 times. So i plugged in my phone and it connected right away via ethernet adapter (en3). It is so much faster and it doesnt run down the battery as much. I love it i just hope they dont charge a **** ton of money when the final release comes out to tether. It wont let me upload the file and i forget the website to download it but just go to some different forums on the carrier update problem and most of them give you a link to download it! The .ipcc is 36 kb.

I used the file found here: http://www.joachimbean.com/Computer_Inventory/News/Entries/2009/3/19_Tethering_on_iPhone_OS_3.0_over_AT&T.html

currently tethering via AT&T, 3.0 beta 2. Mac OS X 10.5.6. As thisisarcadia said, it shows up as en3 in your network preferences.

Good luck.

I heard installing this disables MMS and voicemail. Is this true? If so, how do you fix the problem?

Mine's 10.5.6 and its been working fine for a week already. I do notice that on BT, the connection dies when iPhone sleeps sp I have to set the screen to permanent. Not sure if its just me. MMS has been fine thus far, VM is not supported by my carrier. OP, if yours is a unibody, then BT can't work n tethering can only be achieved by USB. Read tha of TUAW or gidzmodo.

Well, i had the en3 thing in the system preferences under network but when it popped up i accidentally ignored it is there anyway to like reset the network settings and have it pop up again?

 

[0309385]

The lag is not normal, at least for me....I instantly get a connection when I plug the phone in, and speeds of ~180-220 Kbit/s (EDGE). Sorry I can't help you fix this, but as far as I know lagging isn't normal.
