I am not entirely sure. At first it only happened when disassociating
from the AP at work. The above trace actually appeared when associating
to my home AP.

I have no exact means of reproducing this, it "just happens" during
normal usage, but always during association or disassociation so far.
Sorry that I cannot be more precise.

Sorry, I don't know what that means.
