Debian Pogoplug mobile/V4 Kernel 3.17 Wireless Help (10 replies)

Hi-
I have successfully updated the U-boot per Bodhi's posts and booted the newest Debian Rootfs on my pogoplug mobile. I am trying to get wireless up and running with a usb wifi card (Edimax EW-7811 which is Realtek RTL8188CUS).
This dongle works but I can't set up reliable wifi. It keeps dropping out on me.
Most recently I have tried "wicd" but I have also been trying network-manager, through a VNC LXDE desktop.

Can anyone suggest a wireless configuration that will not drop out? Has anyone achieved reliable wifi on these things?

I have two other pogoplug V4's setup as Squeezelite players using Arch Linux per Qui's configuration, and they are working but I had to set up cron jobs to reboot them 3 times a day to make sure they stay connected because they have the same wifi issue.

Is there an issue with the Kirkwood hardware and wireless networking?
Thanks
P
