In case anyone else has experienced this problem: I am running a picoreplayer on a raspberry pi model b with a wireless connection. I ran into a problem in which everything would work fine initially, but the pi would eventually drop off the network. I believe this is because picoreplayer does not run wpa_supplicant for open networks. Running wpa_supplicant is always recommended, even for open networks, because wpa_supplicant will take care of re-associating to the AP if the wireless connection drops.
I have replaced the stock wifi.sh with http://chunk.io/f/7f617dc021dd43dcb25b4602be4fcadc?lang=text, and everything has been working smoothly since then. This is a much simplified script that does not have any facilities for menus or prompting; it just reads the wireless configuration from config.cfg and then starts up wpa_supplicant with an appropriate configuration file.
