Yes. What I get is the Network Manager window requesting for the
password confirm, randomly. If I delay the password confirmation, the
wireless connection drops.

I downloaded sid kernel sources for 3.2.19, applied the first of the
patches ("0001-brcm80211-smac-drop-40MHz-intolerant-flag-from-HT-ca.patch"
and build a new deb kernel package.

This kernel was running fine the whole Saturday but today I had
another reconnect (network-manager asked for the password which I had
to reconfirm). I'm attaching the full syslog for this pacthed kernel.
The reconnect happened at night (22:00 or so).
