I'm having similar issues with an Intel N6300 since a reboot.
In my case it fails with this:
[ 76.232020] wlan0: deauthenticating from
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx by local choice (reason=3)
Which means something deauthed the connection in the meantime. This
happens with kernel 3.2.6, but rebooting into 3.2.5 works just fine.
It doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If you are also running 3.2.6,
try 3.2.5 - if that works we are onto something.
