Try disabling powersaving,

	iwconfig wlan0 power off

I have an identical problem, which is fixed by this command.

It is possible to detect that the chip doesn't, for whatever reason,
support powersaving and disable it in the driver?

Well I simply have to:
a) fix the driver to handle powersaving better
b) disable powersaving support for the driver

It will probably be (b) first followed by (a) much later if I ever
get the time to look into the issue.

Fair enough.

I'll take a look if I get an opportunity.
