WPA-Enterprise and wpa_supplicant/hostapd

I've been having some weird issues with wpa_supplicant connecting to EAP-TLS
networks.  At home I have hostapd setup, a reauth period of 300 seconds, and
I get disconnected every once and awhile.  It likes to disconnect and go into
scanning mode and never actually reauthenticates.  I would think that if the
access point requests a reauth from the client, the client would just reauth
instead of dropping the port.  Windows also seems to have a similar problem.
Not sure what exactly could be the problem, so here's a bunch of config
files.  I can try to get a log file, how much debugging is required and
what's a good way to record the output of wpa_supplicant?

Also, I've been seeing things like:
hostap_pci: wifi0: resetting card
wifi0: Original COR value: 0x32
wifi0: removed pending cmd_queue entry (type=1, cmd=0x0011, param0=0xf100)

Not sure what those exactly mean...

This is my wpa_supplicant.conf file:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0

ap_scan=1
eapol_version=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
        ssid="flacid.org"
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
        pairwise=TKIP
        group=TKIP
        eap=TLS
        identity="jason at flacid.org"
        ca_cert="/etc/wpa_keys/flacid.org/CAcert.pem"
        client_cert="/etc/wpa_keys/flacid.org/jayne.wireless.intranet-cert.pem"
        private_key="/etc/wpa_keys/flacid.org/jayne.wireless.intranet-key.pem"
}

Here's my hostapd.conf:
