Under Hardy 2.6.24-23:
Same problem (dmesg shows deauthentications from AP) on 2 laptops using a 3945 ABG (my father's lenovo, connected on a WPA+AES-PSK AP, Orange Livebox ; my Toshiba, connected on a WPA2+AES-PSK AP, from Linksys).

issuing a "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" make it work most of the times... but is can deassociate the same way within minutes or hours, randomly.

I didn't made TKIP trys as this WPA setup is now unsure.

Both machines are configured "old school" with /etc/network/interfaces, not using NM (as this one does not come up before gnome keyring, used to store wifi passphrase, is unlocked by a local user login... and I need to be able to reboot remotely!).

So this may be a pure iwl and/or wpa_supplicant problem. Booting on 2.6.24-22 allows a reliable wifi.

Reading forums/newsgroup, a lot of 3945 and 4965 based laptops seems to experiment this problem.
