The disconnect behavior is expected to some degree, because the connection is moving between domains. That's sub-optimal and we can possibly work around that in NetworkManager. Can you provide some logs from /var/log/daemon.log or /var/log/messages like Jirka asked for? That may give us a clue as to why it's failing to be correctly moved from user -> system.
