Bug Description
Every time I resume from standby or hibernation NetworkManager does not reconnect to my previously connected wireless network.
Network is protected with WPA2.
when this happens syslog logs several lines like this one:
"wlan0: RX deauthentication from [AP MAC ADDRESS] (reason=7)"
When this happens I still can see other networks but mine with NetworkManager and can connect to them. Mine is even not listed in the available networks list.
To get back functionality I have to remove the driver with modprobe -r iwl4965 and then load it again.
uname is: 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP
wpasupplicant: 0.6.0+0.
NetworkManager: 0.6.6-0ubuntu5
This is a regression since with Hardy vanilla this bug did not exist. It has been introduced by some update after May 22.

it is definitely an Intel Linux Wireless (either iwl4965 driver or mac80211) fault.
I just manually updated the driver version from 1.2.25 (version shipped in latest 2.6.24-19 kernel) to version 1.2.26k from compat- wireless- 2008-07- 04. Now network manages to re-authenticate smoothly on resume from suspend and hibernate.
