I also note the OP is using the wl.o driver, which is known not to be
terribly reliable with wpa_supplicant and NetworkManager, while mac80211
drivers work much better.  I'd suggest looking into b43 or the new
softmac driver from Broadcom if you can.  Beyond that, we'd need
wpa_supplicant debug logs showing the actual issue, which can be
obtained by following these directions:
