Um.

Well considering as I'm not a developer and don't know how to debug
these things, I think "spoon-feeding" is an appropriate term, no? And
also, I didn't ask you to read my mind, I didn't even ask you to figure
out the problem for me, I asked for the information that I would need
to figure out the problem MYSELF. 

As for "useful information", the "wlan0: deauthenticated" is *LITERALLY*
all I get. I was not lying to you. After stripping out identifying information,
my wpa_supplicant config would be pretty much completely empty. The config
for this AP is about as simple as a consumer WPA2 AP config can be. I am not
using networkmanager.

You mean so I can see the debug messages it outputs?
