I'm using lucid, with the 0.8-0ubuntu3, in a laptop, and is incredible that the nm-applet couldn't diagnostic why the wireless connection was lost and only trow the password prompt when I've lost the signal. nm-applet should see the kern.log or dmesg to react at signal lost. For example, when the kernel try 3 times probe the AP and don't get response nm-applet say The pc are far away from the access point and can not be connected. Please, move close to the access point or try another more near. And by the way, when the authentication fails, or the association.

Sounds like a dupe of #597889 and #599566.

Hi braiam, 
if you have time, could you please check again whether this issue still happens in a recent version of NetworkManager and update this report by adding a comment and changing the "Version" field and provide information about your distribution? Thanks a lot.
