This issue may have been partially resolved since 12.04. However I am not sure if it works now out of the box, or because I had tried to use proprietary drivers via NdisWrapper (packages are still installed, I just do not know how to check). Shall try to run it via fresh 12.10 live image.
So, it works on launch, and after returning to sleep. It is more reliable now more of the time, but slow downs still happen, and at times it fails to connect (although rarely loses saved WiFi IDs for a session like before). When it fails, sometimes disabling wireless and networking (in various combinations) for some time helps, but often I have to restart. When I killall nm-applet, and restart network-manager and nm-applet via terminal, it prints following messages to console when those disconnects happen: ** Message: No keyring secrets found for @EandG/802-11-wireless- security; asking user.
