The easiest way is to uninstall current version, then disable extras-devel and install it again, but this time from extras-testing where is v0.3.4.

Another option is to specify version in xterminal. First uninstall current version:
Code:
sudo gainroot
apt-get remove --purge mobilehotspot
and then type:
Code:
apt-get install mobilehotspot=0.3.4

I shutdown my connections with desktop widget ConnectNow. Also you can tap on clock, then from appeared menu select "Internet connection" and choose "Disconnect [connection's name]".

Another thing, my Internet connections (Menu->Settings) are set to "Always ask".
