In the end, I threw together a crude cron job that every ten minutes checks if the the network is unreachable and in that case stops the network-manager, ifdown:s wlan0, unloads the wireless module (rt3090sta), sleeps for a while (30s), reloads the module, ifup:s wlan0, and restarts the network-manager.
Thanks for that. I got the cron job going and the script was executing and logging, but still wasn't successfully re-establishing lost wifi connections.
So I did a bit more Googling and found
WICD which replaces the network manager and seems to work perfectly, re-establishing lost connections immediately.
