Fix for "Load WiFi Driver" error #1391

Sorry if this was the wrong place to post this, but I didnt know where else to 
address it properly. 

Myself and according to my reading many others have been experiencing an issue 
with this app where after using a successful tether once and 
stopping/restarting the app, there are errors and under the "show log" we get a 
"Load WiFi Driver" failed error. After some thought on this issue and browsing 
through the app settings, I came across the "WiFi-driver reload" option with 
the description "Force WiFI driver reloading". I disabled this option, 
thinking, "maybe if it works the first time, trying to force a reload on the 
wifi driver isnt necessary, and is in fact causing the issue." So after doing 
this, I closed the app and rebooted the phone since I had already tried to 
force a driver reload and it had stopped tethering. After booting up, I opened 
the tether app and started the tether, successful with 0 errors, connected a 
couple devices and everything worked. Stopped the tether, then restarted it, 
and VOILA! Started again with no errors, everything worked again, good as gold. 
So I guess long story short is, if you get the "Load WiFi driver" error on 
starting your tether, try disabling this option and restarting your phone, then 
try to tether again a few times, and you should have no issues. Confirmed 
working on Samsung Epic 4g Touch and HTC Evo 4g.
