Bug Description

I am using the stock hardy (0.6.6) Network Manager. The wireless works fine until I leave the network (or computer) inactive for a while (hour and a half sometimes less).When I come back the wireless is dropped and the applet keeps asking for a network key. I put it in and it's still not connected. This bug also happens after resuming from standby. I am using a Dell Insparon 530 with a Asus WL-138g installed and using bcm43xx drivers because b43 was broken. The funny thing is, sometimes (but not very often) it's all right

I don't know if this is a nm-applet bug, but it's probably a Network Manager bug for sure.

One syslog (it's .1 because it's the first one I have)
P.S. happened right after boot
P.P.S. saw a "script failed" line. You might want to look
