sorry for the late reply, I missed some info in your old posting:

could you please post a syslog with debugging in the driver
switched on covering all between the start of the
device and the lock of the connection. Something has caused the driver to
stop the netdev queue and flag that the carrier isn't avail. anymore.
You may execute (with plugged and configured device and netdev):
	iwpriv wlan0 set_debug 0x180003
	ifconfig wlan0 down
	ifconfig wlan0 up
(first line sets the debug level, last two will restart the
driver).
