Public bug reported:

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 with
network-manager (0.8~a~git.20091013t193206.679d548-0ubuntu1)
network-manager-gnome (0.8~a~git.20091014t134532.4033e62-0ubuntu1)
on a Thinkpad T60 laptop with an atheros wireless card.

Expected: While connected to a wireless accesspoint the connection
should be stable.

What happens instead: While connected, every 2 minutes an accesspoint
scan is issued. During the scan, which takes about 5 seconds to
complete, I'm unable to transmit or receive any data. This causes all
active tcp connections to require retransmission and makes it impossible
to play games over the network.

At the end of every scan a line is added to the syslog:
Mar  7 13:41:18 bcmpinc-ubuntu wpa_supplicant[1155]: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS 

Possible solution: Allow nm-applet to be configured such that it does not scan 
for accesspoints while connected.
