We should look into why wpasupplicant takes so much longer then.

Can you please enable debugging for wpasupplicant in both cases and
post the complete wpasupplicant snippet for both attempts (e.g. manual
+ through NM)?

For the NM wpasupplicant change the command in
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant.service
to output debug stuff and do a killall wpa_supplicant.

Thanks!
