Sometimes I get a kernel BUG trace from corrupt memory. syslog also reports that the most recent thing before the memory corruption was the disconnect and reconnect.

if it is rtl8192se, a nasty hang got fixed recently and the fix is in
the wireless-testing tree:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-testing.git

It should be e55b32c110b025ce07b40227f620e99700bf8741

This looks nasty but it could be caused by the proprietary nvidia
