Interesting URL's:

note: not all USB WiFi adaptors can be placed into Access Point (AP) mode. The WiPi one from Element14 can - or at theast the two that I purchased last year handle it. Otherwise, you can use them in normal mode, ie: link the RPi to an existing AP else where in the house.

Create and edit a new file in /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf
and paste the following in
# Disable power saving
options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0
Then reboot with sudo reboot
