I have an iPhone 3G that I had the 3.0 GM OS on and I cant find the tethering option where Apple says its supposed to be: in the General > Network preference pane.
Ive reset, restored and re-reset to try to see this option, but its never there. Anyone have a similar problem? Any ideas on how to get it working
Im in Montreal, Canada on Rogers and apparently should at least see the option, but Ive never seen the option there, even since I started working with the earlier beta 3.0 OSes.

You may have to call Rogers and activate a tethering plan to see the option.

According to Rogers, its already enabled and I should see the option. I suspect it might be an issue with the multiple upgrades or failing to update the system preferences?

You could try doing a reset and see if that makes it appear.

As I said in my original message, I tried resetting and restoring the device but would not get the option.
To further troubleshoot the problem, I did a clean restore and did not restore from my backups. With my phone fresh as if it shipped with 3.0 and no other data, I could find the tethering option where suggested.
Unfortunately, I have a fair bit of data I would like to maintain from some of my apps that arent stored anywhere else, so Id prefer to find out what I can do to get it working correctly with my restored backup.
Or am I doomed to try to rebuild all of that info and figure out how to transfer my app purchases over to my new 3G?
