Wireless Disconnect Fix

  • GNOME:
System Settings/Network
change IPV6 to Ignore
  • SoaS
I'm confirming the workaround Unable to edit file--Satellit 18:41, 7 March 2012 (EST)
setting IPV6INIT=no in
 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*
works. I've been without disconnect and even IP reconfigurations for at least an hour now.
