I had some (litle) time to try again with that box. I noticed that I can connect that box to eduroam wifi network with gnome-network-manager and 2.6.32, but still have the problem with normal wpasuplicant roaming use under 2.6.32, something that worked (with some disconnections) with 2.6.26. Seems I have to look more carefully at the logs to try guessing what is the reason for this different behavior. I will try more once I have access to that box again.
