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