You can install applications like Barnacle Wifi Tether to give you the
wifi tethering but these require that your device has been rooted. You
can either do that with a custom ROM but the easiest solution is to
use an application called Universal Androot. Once installed and run
it'll root the device giving you complete control over the system.
