sorry I was wrong. I had the netbook going so it was trying to connect. The behavior is NOT different under the mainline kernel.
It is fairly consistent... with the netbook off, when I toggle Network Manager's "Enable Wireless" off and then on, I get a series of messages in syslog: Apr 22 07:39:35 AcerAspire5100 NetworkManager[781]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: 3 -> 2 (reason 0) Apr 22 07:39:35 AcerAspire5100 NetworkManager[781]: <info> (wlan0): deactivating device (reason: 0).
