I've been having similar issues under jaunty and karmic. It's hard to
tell if this is the same issue or an independant one.

I'm on a bcm4322 wireless chip with broadcom's wl driver. I frequently
lose wireless connectivity, and nm-applet doesn't indicate it. As far as
I can tell, this is always on a network with many access points, one or
two of which are clearly the closest ones.

The system itself seems to be aware that it's lost its connection, as
the logs indicate. It seems like the network roams from one AP to
another, and gets disconnected, reconnects and authenticates, but
doesn't run dhcp. Then, if I manually try to reconnect (by re-selecting
the network in nm-applet, which already indicates it's connected) it
fails to connect. The only reliable way I've found to correct is
whenever the issue comes up, running:

sudo killall wpa_supplicant dhclient; sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager
stop; sudo rmmod wl; sudo modprobe wl; sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager
start.

I'm attaching a daemon.log with NetworkManager and wpa_supplicant
messages.
