Access Control fails to start on Droid 2.1 (ESE 53)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Which device (manufacturer, type)?

Motorola Droid

Which firmware is installed?

Smoked Glass 6.0. Firmware version 2.1. Kernel version 2.6.29

What version of wireless tether are you using?

2.0.1

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start Wireless tether
2. Go into "Access Control"  
3. Click Enable
4. Authorize a client

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The authorized client should get internet connectivity, but instead there
is no connection to the Internet (the connection to the android device is
just fine). In the log, it shows "failed" under "Starting Access Control"

Please provide any additional information below.

Try to start it from command-line:

adb shell
cd /data/data/android.tether/bin
./tether start 1

This will generate debug output - post this output here.
(I bet it's a missing kernel feature.)

Same problem with WirelessTether v 2.0.7 on MotoDroid, Android 2.2.2 
Build#FRG83G, Kernel 2.6.32.9 (But, I can tether fine from xoom via bluetooth 
if access control is disabled.)
