Ok, at this point the only thing I can think of is the MAC
randomization that NM has. Please see:
https://blogs.gnome.org/thaller/2016/08/26/mac-address-spoofing-in-networkmanager-1-4-0/
and look at the section "Randomization during Wi-Fi scanning" where it
says:
----
This default behavior can be disabled with a global configuration
option in NetworkManager.conf:
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
----
if you set that, and restart NetworkManager, does that magically make
things work?
