[arm-allstar] Rpi 3 network issues

[Richard Bateman]

Hi all,

I've run into a really strange problem and I am completely out of ideas how
to solve it myself, so I thought I'd ask the group.

I just changed over from the "stock" allstar pi firmware to the latest for
rpi 3 that I downloaded from hamvoip.org and for the most part things are
working well, but after I got home from installing it and tried to access
it on the network I found some weird issues.

If I do a continuous ping to the pi it will respond for maybe 20-25 times,
then it'll stop responding for a bit, and then it will come back on again
and that will continue to go up and down as long as I keep pinging it.  I
have two controllers at that site and they don't go up and down together;
sometimes both are up, sometimes only one.  At first I thought it was the
wireless link (it's a mountain-top repeater) but I can access other things
on the remote network just fine.

I've verified that the temperatures are fine on both devices and I can't
find any evidence that the switch isn't working correctly; the weirdest bit
is that I didn't notice it when I was up there, and now it's nearly
unusable because I can't keep a ssh session going long enough to
reconfigure things.  It's as though it's an issue that only crops up when
going across the wireless bridge, and only on the raspberry pis.

Anyone have any ideas what might be causing it?

Thanks in advance,

Richard
