[TriLUG] OpenWRT Needs to Reboot?

[Christopher L Merrill]

Interesting - because I'm running the stock firmware and have the
same problem.  I had considered upgrading to OpenWRT for the sole
purpose of solving this problem.  I've noticed that the problem
is aggravated by running a bittorrent client from behind the
firewall for any non-trivial period of time (e.g. a few 4-8 hour
periods).
