Storming and age

Hi, I noticed that with certain access points the card sometimes connects normally and then disassociates either due to storming or age. What exactly does it mean and why does it happen? I think it is something about the configuration of the access points because some of them always have this problem, others work just fine (unfortunately, the ones that give trouble are not controlled by me so I cannot check or change any configurations there). Attached is dmesg of one such case. Apparently it associated successfully once, but then disassociated and complained about storming, after another few minutes it complained about age. Is there something I can tweak to make it work?
