3) Network manager behaves and doesn't eat up all my ram.
4) After leaving the computer on for several days, the NetworkManager process consumes over 1GB memory. This requires a reboot every few days to free up memory. This has happend every time I left my notebook on for a few days at a time.
Below you see that NM is consuming 1.1GB memory.

Just registered to chime in on this as well, as I couldn't find anything similar on the forums.
I'm currently experiencing the same problem with my laptop. I'll leave it sitting around for a few days, and finally notice that network-manager has jumped to over 1 GB in VmSize and about 500-700 in VmRss. Reboot solves the problem.
