Does the iPad 1 not support tethering over Bluetooth like the iPad2? If so then you aren't stuck waiting on a jailbreak to get MiWi back.

1. Turn on Bluetooth on both your iPad and iPhone.
2. Turn on Personal Hotspot on the iPhone.
3. iPhone should appear in the list of unpaired devices on iPad, pair to the iPhone.

Once paired a blue bar will appear at the top of the iPhone's screen to indicate you're sharing the connection. You can only share the connection if the iPhone is using 3G data, if it's connected to a wifi hotspot of it's own no data will transfer (which makes sense since you would just connect the iPad to wifi in that case). Obviously there's also a hit on battery life, especially on the iPhone, tethering via Bluetooth but it actually works very well.
