[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#895810: network-manager: Network-manager wifi connection disappears after a while by itself (gnome)

[Tomas Ukkonen]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.10.6-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

I'm using Lenovo W510 laptop with Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1000 WLAN.

Before wireless connection worked ok but with the latest apt-get update network-manager now quite often drops wifi connection. It is not possible to start connection from the user interface (gnome).
I have to use command "systemctl restart network-manager" from the command-line which fixes the problem temporarily but after a while connection drops/disappears again.
