Tethering option not available iOS 4.1 iPhone 4 plan ordered 2GB

I have had my iPhone since the release date, and I currently have iOS 4.1 on there (latest) and I still dont have the tethering option in General > Network > tethering option doesnt exist.
I have called Apple and AT&T.
Apple states that I need to erase my phone and start over. Keep in mind - this was being on the phone with them for only 2 minutes, which means they didnt really think long and hard about what it could be.
AT&T tried to troubleshoot, but they gave up quick and just gave me Apples number.
I am determined that there is a way that fixes this without having to do a complete erase and start over for this phone.
Are there any suggestions out there or anyone else that may or may not have had this problem?
Thanks in advance for the replies!

First, try a simple reset:
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release(ignore the slide to power off). See if the tethering option appears now. If not, connect your phone to iTunes, hit the check for update button-the tethering option was added through a carrier update file. If you get no updates available & the reset didnt work, your next course of action is to restore from backup. So, right click your phone in the device pane & select Backup. When complete, right click again & select Restore from Backup, select the backup you just made, if prompted to create another backup, decline. Follow this by syncing your itunes content back to your phone. See if you have the tethering option now.

I checked last night for the update, no update, 4.1 is the latest.
then, I did a hard reset - nothing, still no option available.
