Re: Frequent Disconnects

Seems this is quite a common problem. I don't know if it helps at all, but there
are a couple of user submitted patches in the Ubuntu bug system aimed at sorting
it out.

The one at the bottom of this thread allows a user configure the reconnection
timeout:

Here's another related bug:

Also, after using network manager to get your connection up, issuing a kill
-STOP to the NetworkManager process seems to stop the reconnections. 

Cheers
