Tried a few more things worth mentioning: - Tried connecting with wpa_supplicant & dhclient only but sadly wpa_supplicant still cannot seem to hold a connection to the base station. It looks like the relevant errors here may be: ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument wlan0: Trying to associate with a0:63:91:1e:ee:43 (SSID='shaunthesheep' freq=2457 MHz) ioctl[SIOCSIWFREQ]: Device or resource busy wlan0: Association request to the driver failed - Tried NetworkManager again and also tried wicd - both have similar problems. I expect since they both use wpa_supplicant the issue was unlikely to not be there for either of these solutions but I figured it was worth experimenting with. - I also tried kernel 4.6.4 and noticed no difference there either so it looks like the same issue is present in the latest stable kernel as well as the latest longterm kernel (which Ubuntu uses for 16.04 LTS.)
