Bug#706880: Work around found

[Linda R <lindamarcella@yahoo.com>]

Earlier today I reported that my wireless connection kept dropping.  It was working working fine until I upgraded to Wheezy.  Then the wireless connection kept dropping about every 25 seconds for several hours.

I found a work-around, but I have no idea why, and this is not really a resolution, because it's still unknown to me what in the upgrade code caused the problem.

In the Network Manager, where you click on the bars icon on the top tool bar, that is, I mean, right-click, then "Edit Connections", then go to the Wireless tab and select the network, then click on "Edit", then click on the "IPv6 Settings" tab, and change the Method from "Automatic" to "Ignore".  I waited a few minutes, and the "reauthenticate (asking for the network password)" didn't come up.  I changed it back to "Automatic", and the problem still hasn't come back, so great!

I rebooted, and the wireless connection is still stable, so that's a relief.

If you figure out what caused it, and you can put in a fix so someone else avoids what I went through today, and wasted eight hours, that would be great.
