Hi, I'm having this issue as well. For weeks now, every time I forget
about it and do an aptitude upgrade I have to manually downgrade to
2.5-2+v2.4-3+b1 because my dongle USB stop working. I'm afraid that in
some more upgrades the package won't install and I get stuck without
wifi! :-)

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

It seems it's the randomisation issue.

Have you tried 2.6 with an upgraded NetworkManager, and if that doesn't
help, try disabling MAC randomisation?
