Update: Ran blink with a 2013-02-09 Raspbian unmodified and the wireless was able to recover from a wireless drop. Ran rwspi with the Occidentalis distro updated as previously described and it doesn't recover from a wireless drop, but it recovers OK from a disconnected wired net connection on eth0, showing much the same sequence in the log -- thus the problem is wireless related.
The pi's lose their network connections when the wireless glitches and they fail to get it back. This has been happening every few days, apparently at random with the pi's attached to the Bell modem/router/wifi. I'm trying to figure out why. So now a test:
blink on BELL989 with keyboard and mouse and hdmi and ssh from imac
rwspi on BELL989 headless and ssh from imac
macbook on BELL989
imac on cable
depower and repower BELL989 at approx 17:06
The macbook shows loss of network at 17:05:49 and reconnection with no intervention by 17:07:03. The log looks nothing like the pi logs.
blink loses the connection at 17:05:52 then redetects the link beat by 17:06:43, but everything has run its course by then. /var/run/wpa_supplicant still exists as the directory created by root at boot time back at 13:11. The log looks just like the previous failures. Deleted the wpa_supplicant and the ifplugd.action script ran, but found no DHCP offers -- ran it again and it failed with the wpa_supplicant error again.

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart didn't work. Tried with stop and then start, but that didn't connect either. In each case the activity looked just like when it's booting, except it didn't get the DHCP offer. I wonder if it has to do with some of the network services like samba, the web ide and apache not getting shutdown?
