I installed 8.04 this weekend on a newly upgraded machine with an ASUS P5k Premium motherboard. It has a built in rtl8187 wireless adapter.

Since the install I have experienced the same problem several times:
[ 3276.773769] wlan0: No ProbeResp from current AP 00:18:f8:fb:cf:64 - assume out of range

Other equipment remain connected and a reboot fixes the problem. The last time I tried everything from restarting networking to killing wpa_supplicant and restarting wpa-ifupdown. The thing that seemed to do the trick was to run wpa-ifupdown stop and then start again. restart or force-reload did not seem to help.
