Subject: [gentoo-user] Wireless: deauthenticating by local choice

1 I'm on the road connecting to various wireless access points and
2 sometimes I'm unable to connect and I get the (try 1) (try 2) (try 3)
3 (timed out) messages in dmesg which makes sense. Other times I get a
4 different series of messages in dmesg when I'm unable to connect which
5 don't make sense to me. The interface connects, then disconnects,
6 then connects, then disconnects, over and over until it finally
7 decides to fail permanently. I can run iwconfig throughout this
8 process and see that the interface periodically becomes fully
9 associated with a good bitrate. I've tried iwconfig and wicd. The
10 log looks like this:
