I do have a Mirabox running 24/7 and I've experienced the same issue.
To date, I thought I was the only one, and that it was probably due to
my funky printer that kicks down to 10MBit/half when in low power state.

I reported it a month or so ago via irc, but at the time blamed the
printer.  I'd love to dive in and fix it.

Mine is currently running 4.8.6 with one patch on top for ath9k.  Let
me know what kernel you want me to move to.

It was also a problem with 4.2.8, which was the kernel I installed when
I first stood up that box.

thx,

Jason.
