I am running wicd, not networkmanager, but I have the same problem at home
only.  In my case, I tracked it down to the cheap ($20US) Trendnet WAP.  It
reboots itself every 20 minutes.  You can see the lights do the power-on
self test thing.  YMMV

(When it gets annoying enough, I'll buy a Linksys WRT54L.)
