Hello,

First a little bit of a background:

I have a beaglebone black connected to the mains with a 5V, 1A DC power 
supply.
I'm running an Xbee USB adapter board (http://goo.gl/ygIboV), and an XBee 
900HP 
(http://goo.gl/0ZhtM6<http://digi.com/products/wireless-wired-embedded-solutions/zigbee-rf-modules/point-multipoint-rfmodules/xbee-pro-900hp>)
 
on the USB port.
It's running stock Angstrom Linux.

The problem is this:

About every 24 hours, the lights on my Xbee adapter board turn off and the 
device is nowhere to be seen on my lsusb output.  Usually I can still ssh 
into the board after this happens.  After a reboot, the board is fine for 
another 24 hours before the same thing happens again.

I have a hunch that the problem is the power supply, but is there anything 
else I could try before I go out and buy a new, more powerful supply?

My other question is why would the Xbee work at all if the problem is in 
fact a power supply that isn't strong enough?

Thanks,

Kent Friesen
