Crap, it seems the patched iphb module does not solve the reboot-on-traffick issue fully (and in fact it seems stopping iphbd does not either).

I can (with iphbd enabled and hotspot backend started) browse and download on the device as much as I can, but when connect the laptop and start causing traffic from there the load first jumps (kinda obvious, the kernel has plenty of work to do with routing and NAT there) and then after few seconds the device reboots. This seems to happen with iphbd stopped as well.

I got the flu (Talk about timing...) so I can't wrap my head around kernel core dumps now, if someone else could try with the kernel and modules from the mobilehotspot svn I would be grateful. To get the exact same patches checkout the patches dir from svn, "apt-get source kernel" (use clean dir) and from this directory call the hotspotize.sh in the patches checkout.

Meanwhile I'll see if I can do something about the GUI.
