I can't see anything the driver is doing wrong. It looks like the problem might start midway through the scan, where you seem to stop receiving frames even on the operating channel for your AP.

I've looked over the driver and can't find anything obviously wrong. As far as I can see the device ought to be getting configured the exact same way when it fails as when it works. I made another build with some extra debug statements in the driver that should reveal whether certain exceptional c

It appears that once in a while after doing a background scan you're no longer seeing beacons from the AP. When that happens mac80211 actively probes the AP but is not getting a response that way either. Then it gives up and sets the wireless state to disconnected. Reconnection attempts are similar

It looks like the trouble starts after doing a scan for APs. The device seems to get set into an idle mode that's normally used when not associated to an AP, but then it's also trying to communicate with the AP. I can't see why this is happening though. I've made a test build that enables dumping
