Here is the explanation I got:
That's MIC at work (WPA = 802.1x + TKIP + MIC). MIC checks every
packet for integrity and if some number of packets are tampered with
within a certain amount of time, then the network is shut down.

OS X just popped up a window that said, "Your wireless network has
been compromised, disabling airport for approximately one minute."
What does that mean? Did someone snoop the network and try to spoof
my mac address?
Pretty slick feature! :) Just wondering what it means.
