It occurs to me that these messages occured while I was connected to a
public WIFI AP at the airport in Phoenix.  It may be that the network
configuration or my distance from the AP had a part to play in the
messages being triggered.  If so, I may have trouble reproducing the
problem.  I'll be interested to hear from some of the IEEE80211
developers on what these messages indicate.
