Hi,
I am having an issue with my wireless connection in openSUSE 11.4. Using
NetworkManager in GNOME.
The symptom is that the connection to WAP gets disconnected every minute
or two. I see the following entries in /var/log/NetworkManager:
Mar 13 08:54:45 candlebox NetworkManager[11733]: <info> Trying to start
the supplicant...

state change: 2 -> 3 (reason 0)
Mar 13 08:54:48 candlebox NetworkManager[11733]: <info> (wlan0):
supplicant interface state: starting -> ready
I get connected, the disconnected, the connected again. Messages for a
whole cycle are shown at the end.
This did not happen with openSUSE 11.3.
New bug, known bug, something amiss on my machine?
