The driver and wpa_supplicant is able to provide more debugging
information. Could you please capture debugging from both and submit a
bug to http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/?

wpa_supplicant debugging is obtained by running it with -ddt option
driver debugging is obtained by loading driver with debugging enabled
(modprobe iwl4965 debug=0x43fff)

If possible, please annotate logs to indicate what you did at the time.

Thanks!
