If you're interested in jailbreaking, PDANet is reasonably priced and extremely easy to use. Probably the best solution available unless you want to pay AT&T when/if they enable tethering.

Sure, you have several options right now:

1. Jailbreak and use PDAnet or MyWi or one of the other tethering apps.
2. Install custom carrier settings that turns on tethering in the normal iPhone settings menu.

Here is some light reading for you:

easiest way to do it is

1hone up your operator to allow teathering

2: flick your switch in the settings menu in the phone and tether away.

if you ask how to do this, honestly it's easier on yourself to just pay
