Constant reconnects after NetworkManager update

After updating NetworkManager to 1.0.0-1, my wifi constantly disconnects and reconnects after waking from suspend (or from a fresh reboot).  My dmesg looks like this:

[ 1694.315432] cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain

but repeated a lot.  This will sometimes happen once or twice and sometimes goes on for minutes before it finally connects.

Googling leads to a thread that suggests disabling the dhcpcd service, which didn't help, and reloading modules with an explicit regulatory domain, which also didn't help.  Any suggestions?

Re: Constant reconnects after NetworkManager update

To me this sounds like a power management issue. Try disabling power management and see if the problem persists.https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … onnections

Re: Constant reconnects after NetworkManager update

Actually, the problem seems to be that netctl enabled itself at boot after a recent update, so a simple `systemctl disable netctl` seems to have solved it.  I'll report back if the problem persists.

Re: Constant reconnects after NetworkManager update

I was wrong.  This problem persists with netctl disabled.  There just weren't any connection problems for a few tries.  The power management status of the card has no effect.  Netctl works fine, so this seems to be a problem with NetworkManager specifically.
