There's an issue here at the driver level, NM can't read the MAC address for the device which is why it can't start it for wifi:
Sep 19 10:41:49 eee-fede NetworkManager[608]: <error> [1316421709.315789] [nm-device-wifi.c:3100] real_update_permanent_hw_address(): (wlan0): unable to read permanent MAC address (error 95)
Sep 19 10:41:49 eee-fede NetworkManager[608]: <info> (wlan0): driver does not support SSID scans (scan_capa 0x00).
Sep 19 10:41:49 eee-fede NetworkManager[608]: <info> (wlan0): new 802.11 WiFi device (driver: 'rt2860' ifindex: 3)
