Comment they actually killed tethering in 3.0.1 (Score 3, Informative) 684

"3.0.1 ONLY fixes the SMS vulnerability... nothing else" Isn't that what we were all told?

I noticed that the tethering functionality enabled by the profile from http://help.benm.at/tethering.php stopped working after my upgrade to 3.0.1

The use of this profile works on even an un-jailbroken phone.

They did it in a rather sneaky way. The UI for tethering is still there, and active. It even says 'tethered', when plugged in â" but the update causes the iPhone to ignore DHCP requests for an IP address from the external device, which then times out.

The problem was immediately resolved by revving back to the 3.0 firmware.

I tested both jailbroken and un-jailbroken, on both 3.0 and 3.0.1.

3.0 tethering works, jailbreak or not, 3.0.1 tethering does NOT work, jailbreak or not.

Shame on you Apple. If you're going to intentionally break functionality, at least be man enough not to lie about it.
