You say that wlan2 doesn't work manually, but with nm. Did I get it
right? If so, that's pretty strange.
Oh, and I forgot to say in the previous mail: Turn everything fiddling
with the wifi interfaces off, that is, nm, hostapd, etc., before trying
any manual method.

Here are my other 2cents.
- Are you able to connect to an AP, where encryption is turned off?
(Hence, no wpa needed.) Again, try this manually. That is,
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# ifconfig wlan0 up
# iwconfig wlan0 essid <ESSID> chan <CHANNEL> ap <MACADDR>
# iwconfig wlan0
# dhclient wlan0
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
What does last "iwconfig wlan0" output?
- Did you try updating the firmware files?
Best.
