I have the adapter out on the end of a 6" cable. Even when it worked back home, it was flakey. Even after applying all the power-management voodoo, it was flakey. After applying everyone's homegrown wifi-reset scripts, it was flakey.
I figured I might run into problems, so I grabbed an Arduino off my bench before I left home. I'm going to knock it out on that today and be done. Bonus, it won't have to fsck all the time.
