Might I suggest using wicd instead of network-manager? Network-manager was quite buggy recently, that's why I moved to wicd. Of course setting up the whole stuff in /etc/network/interfaces might also work. In that case-- rebooting - oddly enough, this helps. After a reboot, network-manager reconnects flawlessly, and everything runs fine for another day or so.
/etc/init.d/networking restart should do the necessary ifups and ifdowns.For wicd (and I thought also network manager), they communicate with the user client via dbus. Restarting nm or wicd might result in a breakage of that communication. Rebooting dbus with
/etc/init.d/dbus restart solves that problem. By the way, network manager is restarted by /etc/init.d/network-manager restart /etc/init.d/network-manager-dispatcher restart
Good luck!
How does one REALLY restart wireless in Debian without rebooting? TIA
