Hello Everybody,

first of all I'd like to thank the team behind the piCorePlayer as it
seems to be exactly what I was searching for ages now!

Unfortunately I'm experiencing an issue and I'm hoping that someone can
direct me to a possible source of the issue.
I've set up a Raspberry B+ with the latest image (2.00) and booted the
RasPi with cable network - no issues so far.
Then I attached the Wifi Stick (TP-Link TL-WN715N V2.1) and configured
my wifi  network - unfortunately the PWD has special chars so I expected
something failing (the UI states that PWDs have to be alphanumeric only)
and indeed it fails when using the wifi setup via web interface.
So I logged on via SSH and adapted the /home/tc/wifi.db and the
/usr/local/sbin/config.cfg to use my password with special chars. After
that I ran the script wifi.sh and the network connection gets
established - I can even load the web UI over the Wifi-Stick and log on
via SSH.

Now where's the issue? As soon as I disconnect the network cable, the
wifi stick is no longer reachable; web UI and SSH are no longer
responding. Only My router is of the opinion that the wifi stick is
still working (also the led in the stick is still blinking).
As soon as I reconnect the cable network the piCorePlayer gets available
again over the wifi-stick IP. Also SSH works great connecting to the
wifi-stick IP.

I'm assuming a power issue, but the power adapter can deliver 2.5 Amps,
which should be more than enough, imho. I hope the issue is not related
to the PWD.

Also I had an issue once that disconnecting the wifi-stick and
connecting it to a different USB port killed the piCorePlayer
installation. I had to completely re-write the image to the flash card -
is disconnecting a network device from the RasPi while it's turned on a
bad idea somehow?

I greatly appreciate any help - I hope I haven't overlooked anything in
the docs.

Thanks,
Plasma
