More details on situation encountered on IBM Thinkpad T60 w/ Intel
wireless 3945ABG

card used to deauth itself (but still appear connected according to the
network manager applet icon)  Telling nm to reconnect to the network
would fix the problem.

Now (after upgrade to xubuntu 15.04 from xubuntu 14.10), the wireless
light will shut off completely and refuse to come back on, even after:

sudo modprobe -r iwl3945

(wait a few seconds)

sudo modprobe iwl3945

Last time this happened I manage to dump some information, you'll find it attached.  Package versions are the latest from
vivid-updates and vivid-security.

Title:
  [Xbuntu 14.04, 14.10 and 15.04] Network manager stops working: iwl3945
  0000:03:00.0: BSM uCode verification failed at addr ...; wlan0:
  deauthenticating from... by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING),

Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  From time to time, the system loses all wireles networks and kubuntu
  network manager applet goes blank - not even one network is shown. All
  wifi connections are broken. Rebooting fixes the issue, switching to
  WICD on-the-fly enables to continue browsing without rebooting, so it
  seems to be no hardware issue or iwl3945 issue.

  What to expect: stable connections and flawless network managing.
  What happens: so above.

  Further informations about the system, the network configuration, the
  package version can be found in the attachment, also parts of rsyslog
  and dmesg.

  Interesting, according to some helpers, are the following lines:
  dmesg:   wlan0: deauthenticating from 02:26:4d:ac:8f:45 by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)
