Binary package hint: network-manager

I'm using lucid, with the 0.8-0ubuntu3, in a laptop, and is incredible that the nm-applet couldn't diagnostic why the wireless connection was lost and only trow the password prompt when I've lost the signal. nm-applet should see the kern.log or dmesg to react at signal lost. For example, when the kernel try 3 times probe the AP and don't get response nm-applet say The pc are far away from the access point and can not be connected. Please, move close to the access point or try another more near. And by the way, when the authentication fails, or the association.
