This problem is an ongoing issue in one of my Cauldron installations.
After not being able to connect wifi (no matter with or without
networkmanager) for a longer time it worked since last Saturday, but
with todays updates it stops working again, or better: is back to
connect / disconnect continuously.

Weird thing: it only shows these problems in the installation I set up
with Beta1 - in another Cauldron on the same machine, based on Alpha1
(updated as of today), wifi has been running stable all the time. This
brings me to the conclusion that there is another reason for this
ongoing issue.
