It has nothing to do with my WLAN by the way.
It's the Ubuntu software, not the WLAN.
It doesn't stay connected to WLANs at home, or in cafe's or aboad.
Putting it to sleep and wakig it up may result in a system that cannot
authenticate.
Rebooting doesn't help. Restarting does *about half the

@Steve,
It is true that the whole bcmwl mess needs a good solid fix. But I
