That's a good point, and I've thought about it only a bit.

But the rules can be arranged so that the profile won't be changed from what it was. If the rule doesn't have 'restore profile' and no other rule that sets profile matches when connection is dropped, then the profile stays 'silent'.

Of course setting up your rules like that might not be convenient or even possible in some cases. I could put a timeout for the rule before it loses it's validity in case WLAN connection drops. Have you checked how long it takes until it reconnects? I'd appreciate answers from others who have experienced flaky connections too.
