Yes, its like i said. either NM has a race and doesnt properly send a
"Scan" to wpasupplicant after wake up (e.g. too early) ... or
wpasupplicant has a race and forgets about the scan because when it
receives it something isnt ready yet.

Can you check out the network-manager for intrepid available in
http://launchpad.net/~network-manager/+archive? If that fixes it, it
was definitly an NM issue :)
