Tom, One thing I did when I was building StarOS radios was use one mounting screw per board. Partly I was doing that because I thought the board should be grounded to the case, but it also would have helped if the glue failed on the plastic standoffs.
Also, I'm not sure what the bad effects would be if the glue failed. The standoffs would prevent the board from shorting out on the bottom, enough other components would prevent it from shorting on the top (probably). The stiff ethernet cable would sort of keep it in position. (in a DCE anyway, maybe a Rootenna would provide too much wiggle room) But I didn't build enough of them, or have them in service long enough to draw any conclusions. Or rather, I came to the conclusion that I hated u.FL connectors; and assembled Lucaya M1208 radios were way better!
