I still haven't managed to install 0.11, but the wireless tethering issue is recurring, using shaky's kernel. I wonder if anyone else has been experiencing this, or if it's just a quirk of my setup. I set up the wifi tethering from scratch just now, and when I went to enable it, it turns off immediately. Logcat shows the following:

It seems like the wireless interface has just disappeared to the system. A reboot fixes it, although I expect it will eventually drop out again. Next time it does, I will try toggling Wifi once to see if the system "flushes" the wifi interfaces and devices, but I have no idea why the interface would go missing like this. I haven't had a problem with Wifi itself dropping out, even after hours of usage, just the wifi tether.
