When everything was fine, it was only on channel  11. The most surprising thing is that the precise AP I'm associated  with is now visible on two channels (1 and 11).

Could you provide another log trace in which it goes wrong. I am
wondering whether it attempts to connect to a different AP or not. I
assume each AP has the same SSID and security configration, right?
