Wifi loses conncection when using FTP to put file son the HDD

Raspyfi 1.0 works fine, except for one thing: When I connect via SFTP using Filezilla form my WIndows PC to place new music files on the hard disk (which is directly connected to the Pi via USB), then the Wifi connection gets lost after a few seconds. When I shut down Filezilla, the Wifi connection comes back after a minute or so.
I use a wifi dongle: Edimax EW-7811Un.
The USB hard disk is a brand new Philips SSD disk.

I cannot upload new music files to my USB harddisk anymore.
In the RC2 version this worked fine.

Any ideas?

I did a bit more research. I found that when the Wifi connection is heavily loaded (for instance, when I perform a "sudo apt-get update", the wifi connection drops as well. It doesn't matter if MPD is running or not. Whenever Wifi becomes busy, the connection drops totally.

Please try to update firmware with

sudo rpi-update

(it takes long time, please also be sure that it doesn't give you any error)

Then reboot and please report if problem persist. If it doesn't that means the issue is kernel-related

I have connected the Pi to Ethernet, then performed sudo rpi-update. Then I disconnected Ethernet again and tested WiFi.
It works perfect now! Thank you very much for the tip!
