I have the same problem on a Thinkpad X60 tablet running edgy. My wireless adapter is AR5212 802.11abg, network manager disconnects and reconnects to the same wireless network every ~20 sec, but wireless works fine using just wpa_supplicant. Here is a snip of daemon.log around the time of reconnect:

NetworkManager: <information>^IActivation (ath0) Finish handler scheduled.
NetworkManager: <information>^IActivation (ath0) Stage 5 of 5 (IP Configure Commit) complete.
NetworkManager: <information>^IActivation (ath0) successful, device activated.

[ now connected, correct IP has been set by DHCP ]

NetworkManager: <information>^Iath0: link timed out.
NetworkManager: <information>^ISWITCH: found better connection 'ath0/lart' than current connection 'at
h0/lart'. same_ssid=1, have_link=0
NetworkManager: <information>^IWill activate connection 'ath0/lart'.

Seems like the problem is network-manager decicing that the link has timed out when it is probably just fine (?).
