In my case its a g network with netgear enhancements (supports up to 108 Mb/s). My notebooks connect using pure 801.11g (54Mb/s).

My observation:

In my are there is a high density of WiFi routers (50+). They are not operated on a regular basis but rather turned on and off irregularly. Before disconnect I see 10+ router announcements, after reconnect, there are usually only 2 - 4 networks available.

To me it seems as if the local database of announced SSIDs has a hard coded limit. When this exceeds, the connection terminates (just a hypothesis).

Most of the routers operate on channels that I do not use (default settings 6 and 11).

Please fix the wrong password issue at least. NM takes the wrong key from the seahorse repository.
