[Bug 548992] Re: Wireless connection frequently drops [deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3)]
Note that I had a problem with the same symptom, and in the end, what solved it was killing wpa_supplicant, as suggested in this bug comment:

Bug description:
Since about 8.04 or 8.10, perhaps when Ubuntu switched over to
NetworkManager, my wireless connection has randomly dropped its
association with the access point, about every ten minutes. For a
while, the connection will just die, then it will be detected and
NetworkManager will re-authenticate and re-associate.
In Lucid Lynx, this problem is now much more frequent (often exactly
every two or four minutes) and now Ubuntu does not report that the
connection has dropped. Instead, it re-associates in the background,
eventually connecting to the access point again, all behind the
scenes. Thus, the only thing that has changed, aside from the greater
frequency, is that Ubuntu now doesn't report that it has dropped the
connection, which seems deceptive from previous versions.
This may be the same bug as bug 429035, but my dmesg output is a bit
different. This problem occurs primarily on a WPA2 Enterprise
network, but the problem has occurred on other network security
configurations as well.
dmesg output after many instances of disconnects:
