I tried to reproduce this over the weekend with no luck. What follows
are notes from looking at the logs, for my own benefit.

You're on a network with multiple APs and seem to be roaming between
them a lot. Just before you start experiencing problems network-manager
says "disconnecting for new activation request," which afacit means that
you manually told network-manager to reconnect (at least it's trying to
connect to a different AP the same network). At that point the
association proceeds until the 4-way handshake to establish the keys,
which times out. Shortly thereafter iwlwifi starts emitting these
errors:

  iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: fail to flush all tx fifo queues

After that the 4-way handshake fails a couple of times, with the AP
sending a deauth frame with reason code 2 (previous authentication no
longer valid). Then it looks like iwlwifi gets reloaded and things go
back to normal.
