However the logs indicate that the wireless card is not really disassociating
and associating again and again. I assume this is only a bug in NetworkManager
when dealing with hidden networks.

Hence reassigning to Tambet.

Tambet, NM triggers a scan every once in a while. As this scan is a broadcast
scan it will not find the hidden AP and NM thinks the AP is gone. After that
wpa_supplicant also thinks the AP is gone and triggers a ssid scan which finds
the AP again. I'm not sure but maybe something like below might fix this issue.
