The option to make the driver output more information is
debug
Add that to whatever options the configuration for the interface
already contains, then restart the interface. That will produce
significantly more information in your system logs.
That said, it would have been a lot easier to help you out if
you had provided your actual configuration (with any secrets
shrouded as appropriate) and at least a dmesg.
Keep in mind that wireless connections are in fact quite brittle
in nature and subject to all sorts of radio interference that's
essentially background noise
