I have seen this for a long time now. I am using wpa_supplicant to
connect to a WPA2 network using a 5100 device and get disconnected very
regularly (starts with "CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event -
remove keys" which is caused by a missing probe response from the AP).
In these cases wpa_supplicant is able to reconnect. This behavior is
also present in 2.6.31-rc3-wl from yesterday.

Do you not get reconnected after you get disconnected?
