Since 1.0, NetworkManager drops and reconnects constantly

Since the update to  NetworkManager 1.0, when I first connect to my wireless home network the connection drops and reconnects several times before finally settling on a stable connection. Downgrading to 0.9.10.0-4 fixes the problem.

Here is the output of

journalctl -b 0 -u NetworkManager

Re: Since 1.0, NetworkManager drops and reconnects constantly

My solution was to get rid of NetworkManager and switch to connecting manually through the ip link and wifi-menu utilities. Slightly more hassle than auto-connecting through NetworkManager, but it's not really that big a deal, and I get a more reliable connection that way.

Re: Since 1.0, NetworkManager drops and reconnects constantly

This is a known problem with version 1.0 of NetworkManager -- either downgrade or switch from dhcpcd to dhclient.
