I wish I knew how to fix it. I'm facing exactly the same problem as you.
Since I started using Larry's git driver, I need to try reconnecting for
15-30 times (ie removing and inserting modules, killing wpa_supplicant
etc), until I get a reliable connection. That usually takes 10+ minutes.
The initial connection/authentication error has become frustratingly
annoying with the git driver.

And the "managed=true" fix I suggested in #80 no longer helps. The fix
changes the error message, but doesn't reduce the number of retrials.

Another observation: I travelled with my laptop last week. The same
initial connection error happened on other networks (public airport
Wifi, etc). It disappeared faster than on my home network (similar to
what Sascha said in #140). So the error to a large extent isn't specific
to my home network setup. I was using the staging driver in kernel 3.16
at that time.
