This bug has been fixed in latest 0.6.x branch SVN. It was caused by race conditions and drivers that can't decide whether or not they actually _have_ a carrier for the first 5 or so seconds, and spam netlink with ping-pong carrier on/off messages. But it should be fixed now in SVN. Dan > This is running NM 0.6.5 and nm-applet 0.6.5, both build from tarballs > on an LFS system.
