I've been using dropbear since 05 (thank you!).. but recently (i seem to be plagued with oddities since my last reflash) my ssh in will hang. Sometimes it takes a few seconds before the key responses are recognized, and then sometimes the connection will just be dropped.

I've tried tweaking putty to see if I couldn't resolve it (ie, sending null packets every 1 second for a keepalive), but .. nada.. nothing.

If you happen to have any insight into the workings behind the 770's dropbear and remote connections, what adjustments could be tweaked, anything.. I'd greatly appreciate it.

thanks!

I had that from day one in the 2005 OS. There is an old thread lying around (search for "ping" :-)

Looks like this is wi-fi powersaving thing. Happened to me also in 2006 version but not in 2005. Luckily I have bluetooth on all my computers so for ssh I tend to use bluetooth PAN. It should be less power hungry and there is no lag.
