Let's try and work together to get the description of the bug ( including steps to reproduce ) accurate.

The initial description was network "stops working" when WiFi is "still connected". This implies the network was actually connected and working before the bug occurred, true? It'd also be nice if we could quantify how long it takes for the network to stop working.

Your steps to reproduce in comment #9 state you see a network error the first time you open the browser. So it sounds like you never had a working internet connection this time around.

Sounds like two different scenarios?

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "doublecheck that the bug is active using terminal"? If you're running commands to see if the network is active, then please describe what commands you used.

Is it possible to attach the full syslog from your device today?

Re: access points. Everytime NetworkManager starts up, it reads all of those connection files ( checkout /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections sometime if you're interested ). Whenever WiFi is activated and NM has to decide which access point to associate with, it iterates through it's list of connections for every device. Ideally, there'd be an easy way to 'forget all', but there isn't at the moment. This was just a suggestion that could make things work a little better on your phone, take it or leave it.

Re: problems with mobile data ( comment # 3); did you review bug #1533508 yet and/or file a separate bug?
