Reason codes given off by NM in its logs

[Hugues Demers <hdemers gmail com>]

Hi,

My connection just stop working for no apparent reason. I stopped NM and run it with --no-daemon and the following output is given:

However, I cannot find any documentation relating to the reason codes given above. What do they mean? Anybody can point me to such documentation if it exists or can explain the reason why the device was deactivated?

Thank you very much,
