No, I figure being in the middle of nowhere and losing Verizon service and roaming messed it up. I am still JB for now -- until a later beta of iOS6 is out anyway. Then I'll go back to stock.

I quickly looked for a help site related to PDANet but only get results from a variety of different websites. Too bad there's not a centralized location to ask about this or more importantly, report it as a possible bug.
I assumed at first that there just was no service ( I was somewhere between Harpers Ferry and Cumberland MD and it was pretty rugged terrain; and on the train out, I had no service times. I am not sure if it was PDANet or not, but I got it fixed eventually. I might email June Fabrics directly and tell them what happened. I suspect it was because when I was tethered it went into Extended and the little circle instead of 3G.
While it was frustrating, I don't blame being JB. If anything I was stupid trying to tether in that part of the world.
That said I have turned off a few features that were driving me nuts. The Zephyr app which lets you use iPad-like gestures from left to right on the iPhone was causing me to jump out of Bejeweled. So I turned it off. And I eliminated most of IntelliScreen X's features to save battery.
I understand, but my thinking is, for someone using PDANet, how do they know if they'll go into a non-service area and have to do the same reset procedure you did ? If PDANet caused it by trying to work in a roaming area, maybe PDANet could handle it more graciously.
You know, you could "test" it again.... Turn on tethering and then turn off the cellular radio and see what happens
I was initially thinking "how could the PDANet people test this?" and that occurred to me !

I could do that, but the hassle of re-entering all of my passwords and settings isn't worth it.
With my new Verizon contract the primary reason for my iPhone to be jail broke is gone, so I am restoring it to ios 6. Maybe I'll do it again some day, but nothing that compelling to be out of warranty now.

You're just as far out of warranty on iOS6 beta, as you would be on 5.1.1 jailbroken. That is, not at all.
Jailbreaking does void the Applecare waranty. having said that I am not sure that they would notice or even care.
Then again though there is the issue of whether undoing the jailbreak restores the warranty. I have no idea if that is the case.

No you don't . Bring in that jb iOS device to apple for service. At best they will tell you to restore to stock before helping you.
I am not sure what your point was in the beginning. Mine was just that I no longer had the primary need for jb so I went to iOS 6.
