Nope, I didn't resolve it, although it seems that my issue may be caused by some sort of excessive network traffic.

I have some network-based backup jobs that start at 2am, and looking through the logs from HaikuHelper (Mac app which allows push notifications for events to iOS devices) the "Connection to controller interrupted" regularly occur a few minutes after 2am and the connection issues continue until the data transfers return to lower levels.

For reference:

But after Nov 20, there were no "interruptions" until Dec 27. So go figure.

It also appears there are other "events" that cause the issue since it sometimes occurs at other times.

Everything on my LAN is connected via a gigabit switch, and my guess is that somehow the 10Mb half-duplex link on the OmniPro 2 can't handle some aspect of the network traffic (a bunch of devices on my LAN are 1000Mb).
