First, what kernel version are you using, and what wifi driver and
hardware?  That has a lot to do with this issue.

One place to try is:

I've fixed some bugs in NM, wpa_supplicant, and the kernel drivers back
in April on this specific type of setup, but that was with the gnome
applet, and some of the same things could apply in your case.  But if
you could send along your /var/log/messages (or /var/log/daemon.log) and
do the wpa_supplicant debugging thing, that would help.
