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?
