Out of nowhere, since last night, my wireless connection keeps being dropped.
For some reason, when I first log into my computer, it no longer automatically connects to my home network. Using the drop-down menu in nm-applet to select my SSID doesn't work - if I click on my SSID it just sits there doing nothing. What I have to do is right click nm and open Edit Wireless Networks. From there, I have to delete the entry for my network, and then when I click on the SSID in the drop-down list, it asks for the password and all is well until the connection is dropped again.
It seems to me that the conenction is dropping when the computer goes idle or the screensaver kicks in, but I'm not entirely sure about that.
I'll provide hardware info if requested, but to me it seems more like a problem with nm-applet or keyring manager or something.
I'll be very grateful if anyone can help me restore normal functionality.
