(Get the code!)
I can confirm this issue.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 on a ThinkPad T60p with an Intel 3945ABG wireless chip, and I've experienced many of these symptoms. The Google Maps/YouTube stuff, I haven't noticed, but the frequent disconnecting I have.
Lately, it's been taking twenty minutes of trying to connect, timing out, and trying again to connect with my WPA2 network. And like Jakob pointed out, the problem seems to be related to my proximity to the router. The farther away I am, the more trouble I have connecting. I've tried both Wicd and Network Manager, and neither have been of any use.
I downgraded the kernel to the latest Karmic version, as Jakob suggested, and things *seem* to be working better. I was connected instantly on reboot and I haven't had any connection dropping problems yet. Here's hoping . . .
