I have the same problem using the b43 driver (Jaunty, amd64, all updates
until today):

'NetworkManager: <debug> [1239965661.089967] periodic_update(): Roamed from

For me, this happens only in a big hall of my university's library where I see 
about 15 APs with 3 different Essids. In some corners the connection is stable, 
in some not. Using the same network in places where there is only one AP, the 
connection is stable. I had some conversation with the admin about this. He 
said, I am the first person to complain, though a friend also using Ubuntu has 
instabilities as well. So other operating systems seem to work better with that 
network. The admin also told me, that there are some APs with 'strange' 
behaviour in that network, and indeed, I see this 'roamded to (none) ((none))' 
more often on some and less often on others.
Killing all instances of NetworkManager and connecting manually solves this. 
Maybe I should add that this is an unprotected network in combination with VPN.
