JUst installed Joikuspot on my 5800 and it doesn’t work. Connects to the wifi, but no internet. I say don’t waste your time on this POS.

[...] JoikuSpot Premium was described by Sushant on this post as: one of the most innovative solutions, the kind of which I haven’t seen on other mobile platforms yet. JoikuSpot uses your 3G/HSPA to convert your 5800 to a full fledged wireless router. This means you can now connect n umber of Wi-Fi enabled devices on your very own Wi-Fi hotspot which is as mobile as you!

Modern Linux with NetworkManager works _very_ well with S60 3G phones – I have a Fedoara 10 Asus laptop, my wife an Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix Aspire One, and both just work great with the wired usb connection to her E71; Just be sure to have the right settings! Joiku is awesome, but on the move, it’s such a draw on the battery, it’s really, as you quoted, a nice tool to tease some less discerning friends…. No kidding, in real life, I use it in meetings, to set up an access point for all participants, allowing us to take work “anywhere”. Really anywhere So cool.

Tethering over WiFi using this app results in a faster connection for me that the one over BT with Nokia software. I was getting about 500kbs over BT, but I get 2mbits over WiFi. The battery life sucks though, I can barely get 2,5h.

You say there are no modem drivers for the 5800 in Linux or Mac, yet I regularly use my phone as a modem through bluetooth with my Macbook.
See the Nokia website for a howto.
