To my knowledge, the AT&T tethering hack has been broken with 3.1.x. You will have to jailbreak and install PDAnet or something similar to tether until they can figure out how to re-enable the AT&T hack.

This is why I am happy with 3.0.1

dont believe you can downgrade on the 3GS if you on 3.1.2

Unless you got your SHSH on file with Cydia, you can only downgrade a 3GS to 3.1. Apple quite signing the 3.0 and 3.0.1 IPSW's for the 3GS, so you cannot select them in iTunes.

So, get PDANet to tether once your phone is jailbroken.

and even if you have your file with saurik.....you cant downgrade right now anyways right? that is in the future?

Depends on when you got the SHSH files in. I think there were only about 10,000 that got the 3.0/3.0.1 SHSH files into Cydia.

Use Google and do some reading.

It's the only way you are going to be able to tether with your 3GS since you updated it.

You can only use PDANet if you jailbreak your phone.
