popcornmix - where is this bcmstat script located? It's not in user home nor in etc/. As said, I'm a noob.

It happens on MilouseVH's builds, as well as with OE 4beta3. They still occur, during playback, as well as while not using the RPi.
Same happening here. I have three pi's running openelec, latest Millhouse builds. The two on WLAN don't drop off the network ever, the wired one does! I thought it was my own network but rebooted everything and it's still happening.
It seems to be a problem with fiq fsm patch. Add "dwc_otg.fiq_enable=0" at end of cmdline.txt.

My initial thought is no, but this post: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1669194
suggests it is possible. Might be worth a try.
Also (on original build) can you try "dwc_otg.fiq_enable=0"

Nothing obvious there (a complete log would be more useful, but still probably wouldn't show the problem).
A sample file that has the problem would be more useful.

Also, confirm you have correctly disabled FIQ FSM by running "dmesg | grep FIQ".
One more thing - if you have no network in OpenELEC (and thus no ssh) but want a console to diagnose the problem, add "textmode" to the end of your line in cmdline.txt, connect a keyboard and reboot. Now run dmesg, ifconfig, ethtool etc.

I'm lucky if I get a network connection for more than 60 seconds. If I play a video within that time, it will play fine for the full length of the video. If I wait to long, I loOse connection to the remote database and openelec cannot see any remote files. In fact if I look at the the openelec network settings eth0 has disappeared altogether.

Somehow you've entered the option incorrectly on your line in cmdline.txt.
Type "cat /flash/cmdline.txt" on your Pi, and take another photograph.
"cat /proc/cmdline" will also confirm the options your Pi has booted with.
