I'm getting similar messages. They come at (seemingly) random times when I'm not using the computer. Here's a bit from my syslog:

My adapter is (lsusb):
ASUSTek Computer, Inc. WL-167G v2 802.11g Adapter [ralink]

I'm on Ubuntu (Server) 9.10. I believe I've had very similar problems on 9.04 as well.

From the looks of the first line shown, my system thinks that the USB adapter is being disconnected. I hadn't touched anything, but the connection was then lost, so I had to "ifdown" and "ifup" my wlan0.
