I'm surprised to hear myself saying this, but why not try NM?
I know it's meant to have problems with fixed IP,
but it cannot do any harm to try.

I've usually found the information in /var/log/messages is quite helpful
with WiFi problems.

Also it might be worth trying "iwlist scan" as root.
And wifi-radar is sometimes helpful.
