I've not tried Win*, but I've seen no drops with Ubuntu Linux. 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.
