Glad to hear you sorted it out HD, I couldn't find the thread that I used. You went through way too many hoops, but at least you got everything sorted out.

Gingerbreak doesn't work on 3.1. See this post http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/acer-iconia-tab-a500-forum/21123-rooting-help.html

OK, I just want to make sure I'm understanding this.
First, ad-hoc means what exactly?

I'm planing to go to nortwestern Tenn in a week or so to see my parents, They do not have wifi. I was planing on using the wifi hot spot on my Droid X2.
Will the A500 except that?
The wifi hot spot service from Version is rather expensive. I don't want to waste the money if I don't have to.
Thanks.
