I was able to reproduce this bug also with a livecd (both x64 and i386) on a dell xps studio 1340 (atheros AR928X wireless chip) both with or without ipv6. Furthermore everytime I measured the time between one disassociaton and the next one, I got, for every boot, a multiple of a certain quantity; I explain it better: boot number 1: looking at dmesg with "dmesg | grep reason" i have time difference in the messages that are always multiple of 120 (e.g. first deauth - 120sec - 2nd deatuh - 360sec - 3rd deauth - 120sec - 4th and so on) boot number 2: same thing but with multiples of 16... boot number 3: same thing but with multiples of some other number... I really think there are few chanches to get this by chance ( for every boot I monitored something like 20-30 deauth, and they were always following the path). To me this really seems related to some timeout processes. I wolud like to stress that this never happened with 9.04, 9.10 as far as I remember, and that (but I this is more a feeling than a fact) the problem is more likely to happen in areas with many wifi connections. Strange thing to add, a friend of mine whit exactly the same hardware has never had the problem and we never found the "deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3)" message in his dmesg.
