[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#899350: network-manager-gnome: drops wireless connection sometimes, messes up connection display

[Thomas Korimort]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 1.4.4-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

i am using a standard amd64 Debian 9 stretch distro. I have an AmboLove
rtl8811AU 802.11ac wireless stick, which i run with a downloaded driver
(rtl8812AU) on 802.11n protocol. I configured /atc/network/interfaces properly,
because with my old stick gnome network-manager seemed to be dead. However,
nowadays network-manager seems to pick up the device, but it is working
unreliably since last update as far as i can remember. If the computer goes to
sleep mode, recovery of network connection is unreliable. Same happens during
regular use sometimes. The problem has worsened during the last days (maybe
after update) as sometimes a restart of the computer is needed to recover the
network connection again.
