3mb of logfiles surely aren't going to make it through to the list :)
Best to post them somewhere and send a link.

In any case, are you moving around at all?  In your first log file, you
connect at 8:17, then:

Jul 15 08:19:15 localhost NetworkManager:
<information>^Iwpa_supplicant(6734): Wireless event: new AP:
00:00:00:00:00:00 

and the driver appears to get angry with you, since it disconnects you
again during the association a couple of times.  About all we can do
right now is try to get debug output from the driver itself to find out
why it's sending disconnection events to userspace.
