I've been seeing the same erratic behaviour from my Radio for the few
last weeks!
Like yours, my Boom has not a single problem with my wireless network,
it's just the Radio that goes mad.
At some time, it even got in some boot loops, and I had to reset it to
factory defaults using the +/power combo.
I've tried every thing I could think of, but none cured the problem
reliably.
Although it's never been far away from the Radio (<3 meters), I've even
tried to get it closer: the Radio now reports 100% signal stength, but
still has problems playing music!
The only thing I could notice when it didn't work *at all* (constantly
rebuffering), was that some kernel process was eating all the CPU
time.
Now that it's working *a bit* better (it sometimes can play 2 or 3
songs in a row without any hiccup), I'm still amazed at how much CPU
time this process is eating:
# uptime
18:50:12 up 12 days, 9:56, load average: 0.08, 0.24, 0.25
root 700 2 10 Mar09 ?1-06:28:54 [AR6K Async]
The Radio is up for <300 hours, and this process has spent >30 hours on
the CPU?
It looks like there's something going wrong here...
