Nope, it always behaves like this. I bought this laptop 2 months ago .
It sometimes
reconnects to my router, sometimes I have to reconnect manually.

I'm using 3.2.0-2-amd64 kernel.
hmm, I have Funtoo current installed in the same laptop, which use
kernel 3.2 and 3.3. Same problem.
One weird problem is If I don't use it in several minutes, it
disconnects from my router,and no longer reconnects an more.

it seems not what I'm using .
