[cascagrossa <1276238@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Two days ago I uninstalled the Broadcom (bcmwl-kernel-source package) driver and since then using "open source" driver (brcmsmac) the wireless network no longer drop.
So it seems that this confirms, at least in the case of Broadcom, that the failure is in the driver.
