Looks like the driver isn't clearing pending xfer's properly.  
Unfortunately this is a good example of how there's insufficient info to 
make progress; the output of wpa_supplicant -d and/or wlandebug

Unfortunately I can't do much until I locate my stick.  Hopefully Kevin 
will re-appear and look at the issue.
