ERROR sta recv deauth reason code(7)

This driver works quite well for me on a Lenovo Yoga 13 laptop with kernel 3.13.0.

However there is a single restaurant in town that has an access point that causes the driver to throw errors and not associate with the access point. The dmesg output is:

Did you try turning off power saving? Something like

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/powersave-rtl8723au-mine.conf 
options rtl8723au fwlps=0 swlps=0 rtw_power_mgnt=0

(or should that be options 8723au fwlps=0 swlps=0 rtw_power_mgnt=0 ?)

This laptop died an early death due to giving the motherboard a full cup of coffee by accident. I no longer have the hardware so i'll close the ticket, Thanks!
