Thanks Robert. I think I have some good news with respect to the problem I was having with the TP-Link TL-WN722N locking up. Yesterday morning I set the cpu governor to "performance" and the connection has been solid ever since (unless you count the five power outages we had at our house yesterday). Unfortunately this didn't fix the problem with the ZD1211 based stick - it would still report DUP packets and it then lost its connection after less than an hour. I'm sticking with the TP-Link going forward.
So, for future reference, here is a cut and paste from another post on this board. Edit /etc/default/cpufrequtils (you might need to create it if it doesn’t exist). Specify the governor with the GOVERNOR variable: nano /etc/default/cpufrequtils to contain the line GOVERNOR="performance" I'm going to update my blog post with this info. I would also suggest that this be made the default in your future images: I'm not the only person that has seen weird behavior with the default of "ondemand".
