Had the same problem.
It seems that this commit introduces the bug:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/?
id=b6fc28a158076ca2764edc9a6d1e1402f56e1c0c
I reverted it and now I have successful connection on first attempt. Linux
3.8.2, BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller.

I confirm that reverting said commit fixes my problems (tested on 3.9-rc1),

hi,
this is what my card says:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/brcmsmac/bcma0\:0/hardware
board vendor: 1028
board type: 10
board revision: 2400
board flags: 8002a00
board flags2: 0
firmware revision: 262032b

I'll try to verify that reverting that commit fixes my problem as well.

Hi,
that's disturbing.
I wonder what hardware version you have.
Could you share the contents of this debugfs file:
<debugfs_mount>/brcmsmac/bcma0:0/hardware
