[You turned on a bunch of tracing that isn't helpful...]

This says the local station inititated the disassoc from the ap.  I 
don't think that was what was happening in your previous log.  There's 
nothing in your trace to indicate why.  This typically happens when the 
interface is marked down.  But wpa_supplicant might also do this because 
it didn't receive a response fast enough from the ap because of all the 
debugging msgs you turned on.  If that's happening then you'll see it in 
the log generated by wpa_supplicant.
