Hi, I've already tried the new 2.6.32 kernel and it works well. Actually the 2.6.27 kernel was already fixed (after a few .x updates). However the problem was also present in Network-Manager in lenny, but this is fixed in the version I found in lenny-backports. It's definitely fixed in Squeeze...but the problem remains in Debian plain stable.
