wifi dies from standby

Just got a new laptop -- an HP Pavilion dv6. The hardware setup went extremely smoothly, but I'm having some trouble keeping the wifi up. Whenever you take the laptop out of standby, it will not reconnect to the network -- I can't figure out anything short of a full reboot to get it back up. it just stalls out on 'obtaining IP address' for a while until it eventually fails.

Hardware info:

[root@myhost urza9814]# lspci | grep -i network
0d:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000

rfkill list after pulling out of standby:

[root@myhost urza9814]# rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
1: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no

iwconfig before:

[root@myhost urza9814]# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:"linksys"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: 58:6D:8F:80:28:3E   
          Bit Rate=54 Mb/s   Tx-Power=14 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:on
          Link Quality=56/70  Signal level=-54 dBm  
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:17   Missed beacon:0

and after:

[root@myhost urza9814]# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:"linksys"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated   
          Tx-Power=14 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:on

Re: wifi dies from standby

After you come out of standby, what are the results of iwlist scan  ??

Here's iwlist scan:

Here's dmesg too if it helps, meant to post that originally. The 'fail to flush' message and 'link not ready' are the only ones that aren't there on boot too, Googling them gave nothing useful when I tried.

Re: wifi dies from standby

Well, the interface is working and can see your access point.

How are you managing the link? network daemon, wicd, networkmanager, or other?
