This sounds like GUI confusion to me. First you say it didn't connect,
and then you say it did. Please, use 'iwconfig' and 'ifconfig' to
confirm for sure whether you were associated to the AP. And don't rely
on Legacy IP -- run an RADVD dæmon advertising IPv6 addresses, which
will be much more reliable at giving you addresses whenever you're
associated.

If NetworkManager really is failing to associate, I'd like to see debug
logs from the driver while it does so.

I;ve seen my XO 'connect' to a mesh node, at which time all the other 
nodes disappear entirely. If I highlight the connected node and select 
'disconnect' the other network nodes show up again after a few min.
