Recently I was trying to reduce time it takes for wireless card to connect. I noticed that always first attempt at scan fails when NM asks for scan. I also noticed that this happens with quite recent kernels (I think 2,6.28) didn't have this behavior. Looking a bit deeper I discovered that each time NM disconnects from a networks it sets random ssid/essid to the card (using wireless extensions) After that scan fails for some time. as a NM free example you can run iwconfig wlan0 essid dummy iwlist scan and this will fail NM in this case waits for whole 10 seconds. What do you think about this? I confirm that on iwl3945 and ath5k, so this isn't driver specific.
