I had a similar situation in sid recently, with the wireless password
being asked over and over. Finally, I went into nm-applet and saw
that the password was not recorded in the connection settings. After I
entered it there, I wasn't asked incessantly. If this works for you, it
won't solve your disconnect/reconnect problem but hopefully it won't be
as annoying/noticeable.
