I got this to work by rooting the phone and installing CyanogenMod 7. The WiFi hotspot for tethering other devices is built into the operating system.

All software for it is built-in. Look through Setting->Wireless & networks menu. There must be items like Portable Wi-Fi hotspot and Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings

If your OS version is 2.2 or above you will have the option by default in the settings.

Setting->Wireless & networks->Tethering & portable hotspot-> Tick Portable hotspot.
