The BSS does match in your case, it was chosen by find_matching_bss
(non-NULL return value), but the problem occured later (with the auth_req ?).

Please check that the auth alg. (open-system or shared key) is the
same in the client driver and the access point.
You may set the debug level to 0x180243 to see the tx/rx management
packets.

Sorry, I've no idea where the last disconnect comes from. Please retry and
set the debug output to max. (-1) just before you unplug the device. This
may reveal in which state the second disconnect happens.
