That might very well be the driver which is at fault here. NM uses the modern nl80211 kernel interface by default to interact with wireless interfaces and maybe your driver has incomplete/broken nl80211 support. If you configured wpa_supplicant manually, it's possible that this used the old wext interface, which in your case worked better with your driver. It's hard to say though. For this we'd need proper debug logs to further investigate this. For testing purposes you can force NM to use wext via wifi-wext-only=true in NetworkManager.conf, fwiw.
