Description: After upgrading from NetworkManager 0.799-3 to NetworkManager 0.8-1 via "pacman -Syu", the wireless network connection (WPA2/PSK/TKIP) stops working about five minutes after connecting. "ifconfig wlan0" shows that the interface is up and still has an IP, but pinging the gateway fails. Restarting network manager restores the connection, but it fails again after 5 minutes.

Using netcfg to bring the wireless interface works. It suffers no such problems.

Downgrading to NetworkManager 0.799-3 also fixes the problem. The old network manager has no such problems.


Additional info:
* WPA2/PSK/TKIP network defined in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/


Steps to reproduce:

1. Upgrade from 0.799-3 to 0.8-1
2. Connect to WPA2/PSK/TKIP network
3. Wait a few minutes

Then network will appear to be up even though (for example) pinging the associated gateway will fail. You can also try pinging the gateway while you wait -- eventually the network will die.
This task depends upon
