Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur:
Distribution: Slackware 12.0
Hardware Environment: M2N32-SLI Deluxe, "onboard" RTL8187
Software Environment:
Problem Description: It seems like the driver is losing the essid, i have to
perform a loop to reassign the essid every X seconds to keep the network up.
Some persistent ping test is enough to perform the tests.

Steps to reproduce:
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed essid "testingthis" channel 3
iwconfig wlan0 key restricted "s:vdd7333trE444n0f"

To get the network functional again, perform 'iwconfig wlan0 essid
"testingthis"'
