Comment 28 for bug 295414

I've been having same or similar issue with network manager since (first days of 8.10 - intrepid) I got my current notebook (ASUS X71A). Network manager keeps disconnecting and reconnection on some networks with no good reason, so I've removed it from rc2.d and wrote my own set of scripts (based on iwconfig, wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd) which work fine. I can't recall any errors occuring, something just fails. I have just upgraded to 9.04 and the problem persists, but I have also noticed that my scripts also can't get connected at first. I get "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan1: link is not ready" in dmesg. After a router restart (WRT54GL 1.1 \w DD-WRT) my scripts work fine, but NM still disconnects randomly. I've tested it on some unecrypted networks and it works fine. I suppose it's a problem in the encryption mechanism or communication problem with the WRT54GL (also tried other routers if the same model) router.
