I started seeing the exact same thing last friday with my 5100. In my
setup I am using networkmanager and it did not give me much debug
information when the problem occurred. I had to restart networkmanager
to be able to connect again. My logs look the same as yours though. I am
now running with wpa_supplicant in foreground with full debugging but so
far it has not happened yet.
