I suffer from this bug, too. At some time connection is lost, NM icon continue displaying the last status, but I have to reboot
Attached is my whole dmesg (at line 830 the problem starts)
I'm on 10.04, kernel is 2.6.32-24-generic

It seems a firmeware (or kernel module) problem specific to this chip (my card is a dlink usb adapter)
