This bug is only marked Invalid for NetworkManager, it's still open (Triaged, with someone assigned) to be looked at in terms of kernel drivers, configuration and whatnot.

I appreciate your concerns, but I'm just marking this as "not an issue in NetworkManager", because quite honestly I couldn't see any reason it would be related to it before, and the testing with mainline kernel builds (and the fact that it works with those) further reduces the likeliness of it being a NM issue. Additionally, Fedora 16 uses the same version of NetworkManager with sufficiently similar configuration that there is no reason to believe it might behave differently.

If you can't test with the mainline kernel (and I'd suggest simply http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.1-oneiric/, or the previous one http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.1-rc10-oneiric/), then it's perfectly fine; somebody else might be able to. In fact, DDC did test with apparently good results, if I am to believe comment #63. Testing with mainline kernels only takes a few minutes to do, and offers a great amount of help in order to successfully pinpoint a cause for the issue.

So again, I appreciate everyone's concerns and willingness to see this resolved as soon as possible, but having very similar hardware I don't see any performance issues or instability, so the best I can offer is to triage this following the data we already have as far as NetworkManager is concerned.
