The ThinkPad X60 has a wireless kill switch on the front, and using it to stop and start wireless seems to help on open networks.

After recent upgrades (now running 0.6.5-0ubuntu7) I've lost access to my WPA-protected AP, even from a vanilla Tribe 3 installation. It can connect (after a few tries), but then I get the messages

nm_policy_device_change_check:: old_dev has_link? 1

SWITCH: terminating current connection 'eth1' because it's no longer valid.

nm_device_is_802_3_ethernet: assertion `dev != NULL' failed

nm_device_is_802_11_wireless: assertion `dev != NULL' failed

and it shuts down.

I'm also getting

nm_policy_device_change_check:: old_dev has_link? 1

nm_policy_device_change_check:: old_dev && new_dev!!

in the log every 130 seconds throughout the day.
