What version of wireless tether are you using?
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v
3_1-beta11.apk

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Startup Tethering (Usually works the first time)
2. Shutdown Tethering
3. Startup Tethering (Usually fails, subsequent attempts usually fail as well).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Tethering should start successfully every time.  When it fails, the log 
indicates that the startup of "Hostapd failed".

Please provide any additional information below.
I modified the the "tether.edify" script to insert a "sleep("1");" between 
bringing up the interface and launching hostapd.  I was unable to get it to 
fail after that.  Ideally, the script would verify that the interface was up 
before attempting to launch 'hostapd'.

Will add the sleep in next beta-version. I'm currently pretty busy with other 
stuff ... will keep the interface-check in my mind.

The sleep seems to work fine, and is very low risk.  I can test once the script 
is updated.

Thanks,

Nathan

Wiped data, then installed beta14.  Seems to be working fine now.
