[Hardy] network manager nor rt2400/rt2500 driver reconnects Wireless WiFi after disconnect due to bad signal
After a while, my wireless wifi connection disconnects. This may be due poor reception conditions.
Under Gutsy, the network would reconnect, and I just would have been without network for a few minutes.
Under Hardy, the network fails; but network manager, route and iwlist  still see the network as if it was still there.

reconnection via Network manager mostly is impossible, due to bug
#208533: Network Settings untick connection not displaying properly

I have applied the workaround to /etc/rc.local from #190515: [Hardy] Low
bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers.
