   Perhaps not enough enthropy in /dev/random for wpa_supplicant to   
   work? I had that problem initialising the Pi Zero W's WiFi from   
   scratch via custom scripts on Linux, fixed by using Haveged to fill   
   the enthropy pool quicker. NetworkManager in Debian is the other   
   end of the spectrum so far as ways of setting WiFi up go though. It   
   probably already has that sorted out.
