Sorry, i'll try to be more verbose.

As I can remember (I've apt-get remove'd wpa_supplicant),
wpa_supplicant changes the iwconfig of my card, and try to detect
which AP is present.

On some case, it down/up the link, then ifplugd report a link beat
lost/detected, and launch whereami again, so I loose connection.

I'll reinstall wpa_supplicant to make more tests and come back here
with more details :)

I'll try ;)
