Since installation.  I am not getting thcall back trace as you are, just 
the wireless going down,  if I restart it is good util cfg80211 calls 
crda for the reg domain and then its get deauthenticated.

The desktop doesn't have crda installed just the wireless-regdb db file 
and it works, but it has netcfg.

On the lapdog I have found if I start wireless manually it works until 
calling crda then it fails and doesn't restart.

If I start the wireless using netcfg the wireless will fails (as in the 
log file ) but then it restarts.  You don't see/notice the failure 
because something restarts the wireless.  Something in netcfg must be 
restarting/authenticating the wireless.

I will need to look at netcfg scripts to see if I can determine what 
going on.
