iOS 5 GM Jailbreak
Luckily, not too long after its release it has already had a jailbreak tool capable to do tethered jailbreak, the RedSn0w v0.9.9b3 which is available for both Mac OS X and Windows. However, this will not jailbreak iOS 5 GM on iPad 2, so meanwhile do not try it.
RedSnow 0.9.9b3 will auto-detect iOS5 GM firmware. Remember, the iOS 5 GM jailbreak is still tethered except for iPhone 3Gs (old bootrom) users which can jailbreak iOS 5 GM untethered. Download RedSn0w v0.9.9 beta 3 from the link below:
