This is time for rekeing (WPA2 enterprise).
AP configured for rekeing clients at 3600 seconds.
But AP don't send information about rekeing interval in EAPOL packets.

[277795] wlan0: link state changed to DOWN
[277797] wlan0: link state changed to UP
[281406] wlan0: link state changed to DOWN
[281408] wlan0: link state changed to UP
[292231] wlan0: link state changed to DOWN
[292233] wlan0: link state changed to UP
[302376] ath0: device timeout

281406-277797 = 3609
292231-281408 = 10823 = 3600*3+23

I am not clearly remember, may be isn't sufficient.
This is from old time, before introduction wlan0 (when all work on
