  1. THANK YOU for this tip. Back when I first got my Pi, I had this issue and despite lots of research, could never find out what it was due to, so I basically stopped messing with the Pi as I wanted to run it "headless" and this was getting in the way. I’ll try this fix tonight!

    (I was pretty sure it was a auto power-down issue — sounds like I was right.)

  2. Note: This is for RTL8192cu equipped WiFi Dongles Only!
