Sure, bugs or other problems. This is the second report of a failure to
keep the radios always working.

Try saving and uploading the radio's logs, which are lost when located
in /var/log. Make a '/etc/log' directory, which would survive a reboot,
and use the -d /etc/log/ option to save logs to there, then upload, zip,
and upload to here the relevant portion for examination.

It might be that the quick reset is causing trouble. Try setting the
quick reset to 7 (higher than 6) to disable quick reset.

Try disabling the web server, and/or running the 'slow' version (-W slow
option).

Swap the version 0.7.x radio with a 0.6.3 radio. Does the problem follow
the 0.7.x version?

Other troubleshooting involves moving the radio next to your desktop,
and connecting and opening a terminal TTL serial connection (115200 bps)
to the radio and launching wlanpoke from there. This would show all
messages from boot-up to linux boot, etc. Save the terminal session and
look for issues. If not obvious, you can increase the debug level for
more verbosity. If that is sill not enough, we can add more debug
statements to pinpoint what is not working.

I would do this here, but my 7 radios have been perfect, so far.
However, my environment has significantly improved over the last few
weeks, so this is not a good test site. That might be a clue. 

We will try to straighten this out. Thanks for your efforts.
