WiFi connections not re-established

[James Tait]

If I boot my phone at home, it happily connects to my wireless network. If I leave home and have Cellular Data enabled, it will establish a 3G connection. If I then return home, it remains on 3G instead of switching back to the wireless network. Even if I disable Cellular data, the wireless connection is not re-established.

I have tried restarting network-manager and wpasupplicant, to no avail. The only way I have been able to get it to reconnect to the wireless network is to reboot the phone. The logs suggest that the wireless authentication fails, but the reboot doesn't prompt for new credentials.
