AIUI, the wireless protocols make it very difficult to diagnose why a
connection failed. All you can really do is (a) try again or (b) fail.
There seems to be an issue with the iwl4965 driver (and maybe others)
that gives NM fits. You could try a direct connection with
wpa_supplicant to see if that makes a difference. (I haven't tried this
with my iwl4965 because it sits near a wire.)
