Ah rut mah fone

So I finally rooted my G1. Why have a phone running Linux if you can't get a root shell on it? Now I can "tether" it (use it as a Wifi router with 128-bit WEP). It's quite quick with 3g. T-Mobile understandably doesn't want people doing this too much, since it would swamp their net, so I won't abuse the privilege, but being able to get a fast connection anywhere I can get a 3g connection could be handy at times.

This guide was helpful.
