Description Marc Tommasi 2012-05-01 10:43:34 UTC 
Wireless not connecting with 3.2.0. The bug persists since at least 2.6.38.
Also tested with latest kernel (3.4.0), same effect.

WORKAROUND: I had to disable N mode with

options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1

in /etc/modprobe.d/disable11n.conf

The dmesg output ends by saying that you are associated, which would normally mean "connected".  What is happening that you are classifying as "not connected"?

Oops, the first dmesg attachment was with N mode disabled...
This new one is with N mode enabled and shows several connection trials without any success.     
Marc.
