yes i know that. i do have sufficent power supply and raspi is running headless with no additional peripherals.

without tinc installed, it runs flawlessly 24/7 via wlan or eth0 or even both. 
with tinc installed, it runs flawlessly 24/7 via eth0
with tinc still installed, power off, plug in wlan, power on -> booom.
so there maybe a serious conflict with other software (network, wpa-gui,..?).
