I would have done it the other way around (first get a link with nwid
whatever , then assign IP addess with dhcp and/or rtsol), but if it
works for you, fine.

In most setups these would be handled via dhcp, but in a no dhcp, all
fixed IPv4 case you're probably right.

I don't have any experience with rsu specifically, but in general wifi
connections tend to drop occasionally, and in a majority of the cases
they will recover semi-gracefully by themselves (as in, ssh sessions may
very well survive, others more hit and miss). 

It's possible 'ifconfig rsu0 debug' will produce output that will be
useful in diagnosing what happens at the time of those drops.
