Actually, I think that problem with Android phone comes from here:
1399900077.515129: 1399900077.515131: wlan2: STA f8:a9:d0:0b:c6:8b

And so on... This process repeats. I.e. after some time being
connected, phone si seen as a new STA and starts re-connecting and
re-obtaining IP address.

Any ideas why is this happening?
