i get the same exact error with the intel 3945abg once i upgraded both
my laptops to hardy. before that i never saw the error in gutsy. i've
seen many posts over a span of a couple of years on this error over
several distros/kernels/iwlxxxx so i'm assuming this entails something
general with a package or combination of packages. who knows? anyway,
i've been able to reconnect fairly easily by executing:

'sudo iwlist scan' 
'ping something_on_the_internet.com'

every time i do this, i get a reply and i'm back in business. this is
only 2 commands so i thought i'd throw that out there as it seems you're
having to do a lot with the whole loading and unloading of the iwl
modules. this works for me on both my laptops whenever my wireless drops
due to the 'No STA entry for own AP' message. maybe this will work for
you. for those that have hardy, i installed linux-backports-
modules-2.6.24-16-generic and linux-backports-modules-hardy-generic on
one of my laptops to see if the wireless in both laptops stop working or
just the one i did not install the 2 packages on. also, another thing i
noticed is that master mode refers to the AP and managed mode refers to
the station (STA) which i guess would be the laptop. i have this set to
'auto'. if the backport modules do not correct the issue for the
wireless my next step is to add:

wireless-mode managed
wireless-ap master

in /etc/network/interfaces

if i still get disconnects then i guess i'll put a script in cron that
runs when ever i get a new 'No STA entry for own AP' entry that will
scan and ping automatically for me in case i'm away from the laptop and
can't do it locally.
