Description of problem:
Every 120 seconds my connection stops for about 2 seconds.
It disconnects from AP then reconnects immediately.

Kernel is 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686.PAE.
NetworkManager-0.8.1-6.git20100831.fc13

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start networkmanager
2. Looks into logs

Actual results:

Expected results:

Additional info:
The connection is "insecure" (not WPA or WEP).
120 is the "max time", sometimes even less. (as you can see in the attach file iwevent.txt).
If I stop NW and I use iwconfig by hand, this problem stops but I need a "ping -c www.google.com" in background or the connection drops.

If I lunch the command:
while : ; do iwconfig wlan0|grep 'Freq' ;sleep 1; done
this is the output during the "disconnects":
