<BODY>
First of all, I should mention that I have tested version 0.6.4-8 and the behaviour is no different.<BR>
<BR>
Now, for other users that are having this problem, I have written a simple shell script that automates my work-around. It is attached. You can run it from a shell as follows:<BR>
<BR>
sudo keep-up.sh ethX<BR>
<BR>
where ethX is the wireless interface that NetworkManager keeps mistakenly shutting down.<BR>
<BR>
The script simply checks every 5 seconds to see if the interface is down, and if so then it brings it up. If you want to run it automatically on boot, then put it in /usr/local/sbin add this line to /etc/rc.local:<BR>
<BR>
/usr/local/sbin/keep-up.sh ethX &<BR>
<BR>
Hopefully this will only be temporary.
