Most of the times it's just Linux drivers sucking. Anyway, you should
provide this list (or better, file a bug[1]) with some logs from the
kernel and NM.

You can also try to debug how wpa_supplicant and your driver are
working and send those logs too. See, for instance, Dan's explanation
of how to do that at:
