I get a curious error message:

NetworkManager[31268]: <info> (wlan0): bringing up device.
NetworkManager[31268]: <debug> [1308523664.980198] [nm-supplicant-manager.c:86] nm_supplicant_manager_iface_get(): (wlan0): creating new supplicant interface

Mmmm, googlin a bit I found this:

http://fossplanet.com/f13/re-wifi-networkmanager-0-8-996-a-113296/

So i short it seems that wpa_supplicant has to be compiled with dbus support for
new networkmanager. I also see a patch in src.rpm to disable dbus....
