Well.. The disassociation part not, but what is trickering that
(association/authentication timeout) may still be ;-).

Would it be possible to get unsanitized version and with -t (i.e.,
timestamps)? If you don't want to post it publicly, feel free to send
one directly to me. The one attached to that bug removed quite a bit of
information that would have been useful in figuring out what happened.

There are more than one different types of issues shown in the log. I'm
not sure which one would be the key one here. Anyway, I would agree that
the commit that removed an empty ext. supp rates IE has nothing to do
with this.

As far as suspend is concerned, which distro is used here? Does it
unload the driver (i.e., remove the netdev) on suspend? If yes, you will
need to update wpa_supplicant 0.6.4 which handles that disappearing and
reappearing interface. If this is something else, I would need to get
more complete debug log from wpa_supplicant..
