Question about the built-in WiFi:
Given some of the issues I have had using cheap WiFi dongles (ok, not just cheap, but cheapest I could find 😃), I am a bit apprehensive about the WiFi on the Pi 3. Doing a little reading on the web, I have come across things like this:
From a review:
...We also ran into one problem with the onboard Wi-Fi that only occurred whilst running the new board in headless mode. This ended up being caused by a power-saving mode on the connectivity chip. Effectively the board became unresponsive in headless mode if it was connected to the network only via Wi-Fi.
From Broadcom management:
“We’ll be shipping a patch at some point to give people the option to disable the power saving.” — Eben Upton
So, has anyone had a chance to see if the onboard WiFi drops out after some indeterminate period of time?
