Carl, I have the same issues of unreliable connections, even with 2.6.31-15.50 and E169 -- NM icons spins then fails to connects, this can happen several times before the network is established, but always happens at least once after a reboot (see post #73 for kernel developer's similar experience). It usually connects after suspend, though.
See Tiger99's post at #217 for an alternative to NM. This works reliable for me and indicates to me that the problems are not just kernel/device related (the earlier problem with kernel 2.6.31-14.48 is solved with upgrade to *-15.50.) but also related to Network Manager and/or Modem Manager. It would be interesting if others could confirm this experience.
