A couple of new (and, more importantly, free) apps have become available through the Android Market to enable Wifi tethering for handsets that are Root enabled. Root enabling is explained in detail here. The first app is simply named 'Wifi Tether for Root Users' by harry_m, version 0.9.3. if you need more info the developer has given a web page to visit.
The second is named 'aNetShare' by Sam Lu, version 2.00, this developer also has a web page to visit for more info. Both of these apps will require Root/Superuser access to get them to work, the latter seems a better option at this point as it auto-installs the latest version of the software as it becomes available.
A few other tethering apps are available from the Android Market, although you will have to buy these, they range from $1.99 to $8.99 including a bluetooth tethering app priced at $6.99 for those of you that are worried about the security of an ad-hoc connection.
Needless to say, those of us who do not want to Root their G1 are still waiting on the beta build of June Fabrics' PDANet software.
