"iwconfig wlan0 essid gaestehaus" always fixed my network connection IIRC.

I'm running (24/7) Intel 4965 with 11.3 connected to an AP. There shouldn't be any problem with iwlagn. If you observe disconnections when the AP is under heavy load maybe it could help to disable hardware scanning [1] . Thus the iwlagn driver deliver the sniffed and cached list of APs instead of inquiring the APs and waiting for the APs to answer first. Maybe under heavy load some AP doesn't reply in time. But in this case wpa_supplicant shall try and reconnect. It would help to see /var/log/messages and /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log with enabled debugging both in wpa_supplicant and the driver. But to fix it the problem shall be reproducable. I set needinfo here for you or others to deliver more information when you find any repeatable problem.
