I've got the same trouble.  It seems particularly bad with iwh -- it
looks like nwamd just doesn't wait long enough for the connection to
occur, or that there's something funky about the driver.

Worse, if I disconnect and then attempt to reconnect, the driver seems
oddly dead.  I can snoop and see traffic on the network, and I can even
manually configure an IP address and ping hosts, but DHCP simply does
not work.  It's as though the broadcasts (which I can see with a local
snoop) are not making it through.

It's annoying to have to revert to Windows ...
