What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make sure the hotspot/tethering is off.
2. Settings >> Wireless & Networks >> More... >> Tethering & portable hotspot >> Enable "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot".
3. Turn WiFi on again (I did it through the notification bar).
4. Notice that the tethering has stopped, the WiFi is not turned on and the phone reboots a few moments after that.
5. After the reboot, WiFi is working properly again.

What kernel are you running?

It would really help if you could provide a logcat when the problem occurs.
* Grab aLogcat:

* Reproduce the problem
* Open aLogcat and save the logcat
* Attach it here


Please provide any additional information below.

This happened three times, so I have attached tree logcats, one for each reboot.
I'm not really sure if they overlap  or not..

confirmed, it rebooted.
I am checking the logcat to see if there is something that can help you.

Similar scenario: (always re-creatable):

1. turn on tethering
2. turn off tethering
3. go in the settings > more > mobile networks > uncheck(disable) 'Data enabled'
4. check(enable) 'Data enabled' again.
phone reboots in around 2-3 seconds.
(if it doesn't reboot, try another cycle of above steps, which should reboot for sure)

I'm attaching a logcat before reboot, at step 3, and one after the reboot.
