Here is what is known, after further testing and irc discussions:
- the problem doesn't occur with nm or ifup/ifdown ;
- it does occur with wicd.

Even with wicd, more is known :
- connecting from one network to another works ok ;
- but unconnecting, then connecting, gives an issue, because wicd seems
  to clear/reset things even from the unconnected state, before trying
  to connect. And the box is killed by this clear/reset for nothing.

So wicd probably triggers a bug somewhere in the wifi driver's
clearing/resetting code, when things are already clean.

Is there something more I could test?
