I do need to qualify this because I don't often leave Linux sitting open for long periods unless it's doing updates. The connection has not dropped during an update, though; typically an hour or less. The 'flashing' is completely unpredictable. Sometimes it will sit for a day or more without flashing and/or a dropped connection. Other times, like today for example, I've had to flip the 'under KB' switch a half-dozen times because the indicator is flashing.
