It took me all day, but I finally got my wife's Motorola Triumph (Virgin Mobile) setup to allow wifi hotspot connection from the Playbook. If anyone's interested, here's what you need:

Motorola Triumph CyanogenMod 9 ROM v0.6.12.1 (use this version as I didn't have success with previous CM9 variants)
Download link: update-cm-9.0.0.Triumph-Alpha-0.6.12.0-signed.zip
Installation instructions (they are for version 6.8.9 but the instructions work the same)


ClockWorkMod Recovery Version 5.0.2.6 for Motorola Triumph (Recommend making a full backup first) Download link: Hotfile.com: One click file hosting: recovery-cwm-5.0.2.6-triumph.zip
Installation Instructions: Install ClockWorkMod Recovery Version 5.0.2.6 on the Motorola Triumph - Needed for MIUI and Cyanogen - YouTube

Google Apps

Thanks for the helpful info!!!!

Will this require a tethering plan?

By the way, a question to PB developers: Is it possible to create something like PDANet Tablet for the Playbook so that non-BB users can also tether for free? Or is there a restriction on such a functionality at the HW/OS level?

My wife has the 25 dollar plan with 300 minutes and unlimited data. We didn't have to purchase any tethering plan for this to work.
