Description Frederic Bezies 2012-04-04 06:27:16 UTC 
It is an "old" bug.

Every 10 to 15 minutes, networkmanager disconnect and reconnect when using ipv6.

Got this in my /var/log/errors.log

This bug is also reported against Fedora 16:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=806170

Connection drops from time to time if IPv6 is configured as Automatic after kernel update from 3.2 to 3.3.
Comment 2 Dan Winship 2012-04-24 23:32:29 UTC 
this is fixed in master (77de91e5)
