Thinking about it, I'm also seeing similar "deauthenticated" message
in kernel logs on my system infrequently (with Linksys WUSB600N, hw
rev 1, rt2870 chip).  About few times a day, if I leave my system on
24/7.  In my case, the reason code listed is "3".  Most times it
re-authenticates with AP automatically, though sometimes it gives up
and I need to tell it manually to try to re-connect to AP (using
NetworkManager).

Haven't gave it much thought before, as I usually have this system
powered on for only few hours at a time, not long enough for problem
to occur.  Unless I forget to power it off and it stays on overnight
(and then by the morning, it's bound to have at least few
"deauthenticated" messages logged).
