just a little after writing this mail, the network disconnected again.
So it lasted like 30 minutes at most :( Again another fatal error.

This connection is stable, the router is literally 2 meters away in the
same room, actually a small repeating access point that delivers WEB
instead of WPA. For easy connection purposes so wpa_config is not needed
while hacking+

Ifconfig shows that the ssid and key were still fine.

Just as I write this.. it disconnected again !
Even if all parameters according to ifconfig look fine, including IP,
reissuing dhcpcd is not enough! But "ifconfig iwi0 up" after a couple of
attempts.
