Looking at google it looks like a Ralink8188 device, is it attached
via usb or some other manner? How is the mk802ii powered? If it's via
usb make sure it's got a 2A PSU as we had a similar issue (usb dying
after a period of time) reported here with a CubieTruck recently which
was fixed by powering the device with a more powerful power supply.
