every few minutes I guess this error message:
also, am using new wifi7 router/modem, on Aorus x870E MB (wifi 7 compatible). My new wifi 7 cellphones work great, so does printer and Amazon Firestick. Result of grep:
10:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8126 5GbE Controller (rev 01)
Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device e000
Kernel driver in use: r8169
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thankj you.
Please tell us more:

Edit @louparker please use code tags 
That is likely because they are not constantly checking connectivity.
Apart from the error do you experience anything related to connectivity?
Can you enable debugging for the Network Manager using:
sudo dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.SetLogging string:"debug" string:""
Once such a message or better some did pop up get the NetworkManager log using:
sudo journalctl -b -u NetworkManager
You can post that log using https://paste.opensuse.org/
totally confused on somethings. Understand randomization of MAC address. I tried some variations of placing MAC address into identity and choosing permanent, or stable etc, with no effect. Can’t I just enter the MAC address of my router in the system somewhere. Incidentally, when I try the KDE desktop, I get no randomization. It seems stable and my cell phone has no problem with bluetooth connection. Thanks!!!
Indeed that seems to be the case.
MAC address randomization is something useful for your smartphone but typically not for your PC as that connects (only) to your router and is not forwarded further on the Internet. It can be useful for WiFi.
Keeping private on the Internet is a way broader concept.
Is a separate topic which has nothing to do with losing Internet connectivity and almost nothing with MAC address randomization apart for WiFi.
If you are concerned on Privacy, I think it is best to help a nonprofit organization that lobbies for it. In the USA the EFF, in Europe the European Digital Rights association, EDRi. I donate to Bits of Freedom.
