same dbus-send command, just instead of "debug" put "info".

[nm-device-wifi.c:513] get_active_ap(): (wlan0): active BSSID: 
00:00:00:00:00:00

is the problem.  The device is saying it's not connected to anything.
When you see the "roamed from..." thing, can you run "iwconfig wlan0"
for me?  also "iw dev wlan0 link".
