I'm seeing something similar, but with the added benefit of clicking the network-indicator>Network Settings..., my wired connection will lose its connection too. To re-establish my wired connection I need to do the following two commands:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up sudo dhclient -d -v eth0 Below are the messages in syslog when I hit Network Settings from the network-indicator icon: Oct 20 12:43:58 dell-laptop kernel: [ 2875.124149] b44 ssb0:0: eth0: powering down PHY Oct 20 12:43:58 dell-laptop avahi-daemon[1000]: Interface eth0.IPv4 no longer relevant for mDNS.
