I am getting a similar error using the BCM4313 card on our Acer Aspire One 722 netbooks running 12.04. They see the network and connect using the brcmsmac driver, but will occasionally stop being able to transfer over wifi. Network manager says the netbooks are connected and they have an IP

One thing I never tried was trying a different security mechanism, like changing from WPA2 to WPA (and trying both TKIP or AES) and WEP. I just thought of it when I had issues with a PSP connecting to my AP last night. I had to change the wireless settings from TKIP to AES in order for it to work.

I'm not running it as an AP, I'm merely suggesting that we test with different security modes on the AP (WEP, WPA/WPA2 w/ AES or TKIP) since different AP's sometimes behave slightly differently with different hardware as was the case with my PSP. I only mentioned my PSP because it seemed unusual
