Indeed.  I was coming around to that conclusion myself in fact.  The
client is an Android phone.

So I think the (very) frequent re-associations are apps waking the
phone up "in the background" for network accesses.

I think they slow down (as can be seen in my dump) nearer the end as
the amount of time the phone is "sleeping" for reaches a point where it
goes into "doze" mode at which point apps cannot wake up wifi any more
and have to wait for the "maintenance window".

I guess these frequent associations are a red-herring in my hunt for
why my phone is losing WiFi even while I am using it.
