is there wifi tethering?

Not quite sure what you mean by "wifi tether" - if you mean connect to the N900 over wifi and go out through the cell internet connection, then: not yet. See: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=34380

The default N900 kernel is crippled by having no usable iptables for getting it to do NAT (masquerading, as it's sometimes called) :(

actually with the software suite all you have to do is click like 2 buttons(dont have it in front of me) and it sets it up for you

llamastyle: does that actually work? (you connect to the N900 over WiFi (not bluetooth or usb) and you can connect out to the internet over the N900's 3G?)

I would love to see something like WMwifirouter had it on all my winmo phones and it is a life saver when needing to use your laptop on the good with the unlimited data plan you playing for hopefully in a few months we shall see an app like that

I manged to share laptop's broadband via usb with my n900, usb cable is really tiny, still trying to do it now via wifi, no luck so far.

Yes, it is possible with mobilehotspot:

I believe it is in extras testing. Yes it requires custom kernel but as this being N900 that is as simple as installing it through package manager and rebooting the device.

edit: Remember to turn off all connections before starting this app.
