Sounds like the same problem I have. My patch is the equivalent of the iwconfig command you mentioned, so it should solve your problem.
If this is the same issue I have, then it is not a driver bug. Sounds like either wpa_supplicant is doing something wrong or the user is really expected to set the essid before launching it. If it is the latter, then my patch is needed at least for APs with hidden SSID.
-- I don't know if it's completely relevant to this discussion as I did not
try Thiago's patch, but I am experiencing problems too with my AP which
doesn't broadcast its SSID. It appears in the applet when I manually ask
to connect, but the actual connection only succeeds after several
trials. Like Thiago, when I don't use NM, I always have to to "iwconfig
wlan0 essid <myssid>" before lauching wpa_supplicant.
