This worked for me: Connection successfully activated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/5)
What are the last journal logs after you bring the connection up with nmcli?
journalctl -n 100 will give the last 100 for example.
Also in case of connection to OpenWRT_home_1_5G, looks like there is absence of MIMO support, because 400Mbit/s shows that it use only one band.

I found something: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1056122/jetson-nano/802-1x-supplicant-issues-with-intel-8265ngw/2
It is not the same use case exactly as it is about adhoc mode, but involves the Nano and a card with the same chipset. The error is also the same. This will definitely need more investigation. One option is for me to pass this issue to our devices team to investigate whenever this reaches the top of their queue, the other one is for you to try out some other card options with high speed support. What do you think?
I think, that if you want to support Jetson Nano, you should find and fix problem with AC8265, because it is officially supported wifi card by nvidia. Lot of users that will switch to balena will have AC8265.
Also because I need to get it working ASAP, than I will try different card. Maybe AC7265 will work.
We are planning on providing a more extensive list with tested WiFi chips that work well under our OS. More often than not there are different issues with them as chip makers do not put a strong focus on their Linux support unfortunately.
