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... Mar 13 08:54:45 candlebox NetworkManager[11733]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant manager state: down -> idle Mar 13 08:54:45 candlebox NetworkManager[11733]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: 2 -> 3 (reason 0) Mar 13 08:54:45 candlebox NetworkManager[11733]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: starting -> ready Mar 13 08:54:48 candlebox NetworkManager[11733]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant manager state: idle -> down Mar 13 08:54:48 candlebox NetworkManager[11733]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: 3 -> 2 (reason 10) Mar 13 08:54:48 candlebox NetworkManager[11733]: <info> (wlan0): deactivating device (reason: 10).

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? Lenovo T400 laptop with "standard" Intel wireless. Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh] Network Connection iwlcore 173388 1 iwlagn wpa_supplicant is running. Help is appreciated.
