Wifi drops out frequently (dev phone)
#1
I've got a dev phone (pre-Braveheart) running Debian+phosh with the ssh server running. I find that my connection frequently hangs and stops responding, only to "catch up" a minute or two later, but in general ssh is almost unusable. Continually pinging the phone from my laptop seems to help keep things alive a bit, but I'll notice that it sometimes takes up to 15 seconds for the ping response to come back. I'm sitting about 15 feet from the wifi AP.

I recall some discussion about problems with the wifi antennas on dev phones; is this what's biting me, or is there some kernel parameter I need to tweak or something?
#2
Do you have multiple access points?
I have similar problems but heard that wifi is better with only one access point.

There also seems to be an older driver around which had other problems. Maybe that will work better for you. I don't know how to get it, though.
#3
I only have one AP in my home. It's running 2.5GHz and 5GHz; the phone reports that it is connected to the 2.5GHz link. The neighbors have APs, of course.
