Hi. This happened to me as well. After update from a couple of days back (6.0-BETA4) it seems to be working fine. And it does not constantly disconnect from my AP as it used to before. Trying to make it connect back made my laptop reboot. Now I can even reconnect changing SSID's or after I lost contact with the AP. Give it a try and let me know.
