Sorry, we are just winding down after an afternoon and evening of tornadoes. Sadly they are predicted again for tomorrow.

I usually only connect to the one access point, and haven't compared the connection failures until this experience.

There are others in the neighborhood, sometimes unsecured, and a public access point (which may be secured by WEP) at a restaurant a couple of blocks away. If it would be helpful to compare the logs when connecting to different types of access points I could easily set up an unsecured one and/or connect to the public one and have a look at the logs, but that will be tomorrow at the earliest. Or should I stick to different WPA connections?

Reading the kernel wireless debugging information, it looks like they prefer seeing wpa_supplicant scripts and logs. I started reading the man page but I haven't started tinkering with it yet. Let me know if that sort of information would be better for your purposes so we can rule out any Network Manager weirdness.
