8 If you are getting these disconnections even with WPA/2 encryption disabled
9 then this is probably related to a bug on the driver, which falls over itself
10 when running with wpa_supplicant.

12 There are reports in google about it and a suggested fix is to disable 11n and
13 5.0GHz:

18 Run modinfo for your driver and find the parameters that control other than
19 802.11g modes and disable them by creating and adding them to a file in
20 /etc/modprobe.d/ for your driver if it's not already there.
21
22 Alternatively, see if you can disable any modes other than 802.11g at your AP
23 and test to find out if this resolves the problem for now.
