Still needs to be fine-tuned... Hi, While I agree, more or less, with both statements (although for me NM does not restore any connections) this is something new for me - For a long while everything worked just fine, no drop offs. Then, suddenly (of the order of since Christmas) I have started experiencing these. Nothing has changed on the wireless router side, so I am guessing something has on my system, since I update regularly. Also I am sitting real close to the router so wireless strength should not be a problem. So, for me it seems likely something has changed on my system which causes these problems. If possible I would like to track it down, if only to understand whats going on, but I accept I may have to live with it and hope it gets fixed in a future update. cheers Chris
