[arm-allstar] unstable WiFi connection on new rPi model 3 B node

Greetings:

I've had a Raspberry Pi running HamVoIP for years. The other day, I did 
a fresh install. Due to my own stupid fault, the MicroSD card died, and 
the backup image went missing.

Anyway, this node had previously been very stable. Now, with the same 
hardware other than a new MicroSD card and a new image of HamVoIP, the 
WiFi drops anywhere from about 3 to 10 minutes after the node boots and 
never comes back online.

The old image was running a 4.19 kernel. This one is ... whatever the 
latest image is. 5.4.something.

The AP is a Ubiquiti U6 Lite. Signal strength is about -56 dBm when it 
works.

I have a Raspberry Pi 3 model A Plus a few feet away from that one on 
the same network that happily maintains connectivity forever.

Just wondering if anyone has seen this kind of thing. Maybe time for an 
external device to bridge Ethernet to WiFi, a new Pi, or both?
