Bug Description
With Gutsy I am finally able to use Network Manager to connect to WPA-protected wireless networks with my notebook's RT61 PC card. However, the connection stops working within several minutes, at which point I am not even able to ping the router. After the most recent occasion, dmesg asserted there was a duplicate address detected, however this is not possible as only this one computer is switched on and the network is WPA-protected.
Incidentally, I have the same problem with 2 different laptops, both running Gutsy. So far I've not found a way to bring the interface back to life short of rebooting the computer.
Here's the dmesg output:

I have the same problem after upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy but using WEP.
