Yes, it is a patch.

Steps to reproduce:

- configure a permanent connection to a WEP-encrypted AP.
- the AP has very good signal quality, and is 99.9% of the time available.
- only sporadic short 1-2 seconds interruptions of the beacon.
- one or two other APs have very poor signal quality, and enter/leave the live 
list often.

after some days/weeks/months the wifi connection breaks, and the network manager
does no longer see the AP, although the iwlist wlan0 scanning sees it at 99.9% 
of the time.

That status lasts until either network manager is re-started or the AP is shut 
down for 10 minutes
and then started again, at that time the AP is visible again.

I am 100% sure that this has an impact on other users too.
