Please describe "flaky". Also check out bug 767855.
flaky=connection drops often. have to either disable+enable wifi with hw switch or via NetworkManager to connect again
I have bug 767855 too. yesterday an update for NM arrived that may improve the situation, I'll keep an eye on it
This sounds exactly like bug 767855. The latest kernel seems to fix it.
I no longer have this
