[maybe SOLVED] VOIP problem

hi,
as the title says, I am having an issue with skype (and also google) audio/video calls. It is mostly a problem with the audio which is intermittent..sometimes it is even hard to finish a sentence without some interruption or missing parts, same way for incoming and outgoing communication.
I suspect it is a wifi problem because sometimes it is associates with the skype icon spinning while trying to connect, even though browsing and video of the calls seem to be fine...
does anyone has an idea what it might be!?

by the way, the card is a Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 BGN and I am using the latest firmware-iwlwifi..

EDIT: I have just noticed a bunch of these in dmesg:

[16783.751557] wlan0: authenticate with 74:31:70:80:1e:f1 (try 1)
[16783.753146] wlan0: authenticated

[16787.130902] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Tx aggregation enabled on ra = 74:31:70:80:1e:f1 tid = 0

so, might this be relevant!?

Re: [maybe SOLVED] VOIP problem

The data between brackets is the time, in seconds, since boot.
Do you get these messages in rapid succession or are there periods where everything works OK?

Re: [maybe SOLVED] VOIP problem

I have first noticed them yesterday, when there quite a few of these messages, one after another and in a relatively short time span. Now everything works OK (also while calling via skype) and there is no such messages in dmesg...

Re: [maybe SOLVED] VOIP problem

I don't know if network manager that was the actual problem, but now I am connected through wpa_supplicant, as explained here by el_koraco, and things seem to work more smootly..
