When you are at

Aug 31 22:12:48 ubuntu NetworkManager: <info> Activation (ath0) Stage
2 of 5 (Device Configure) complete.
Aug 31 22:12:50 ubuntu avahi-daemon[8042]: Registering new address
record for fe80::218:4dff:fe7a:59c0 on ath0.*.

you should have about 10 seconds to capture output of iwconfig ath0

Can you do that please? Is it associated at that point? Do you see
more of relevance in /var/log/syslog at that point (or before/after)?
