0.7 requires that either: a) you have started wpa_supplicant with the "-u" option before running NM (_no_ other arguments are required, not even driver, device, or config files since all other parameters are configured on the fly) OR b) install D-Bus 1.1.0 or higher with system service activation NM will try to activate wpa_supplicant on the system bus and if it fails, will wait until it appears (ie is manually started with the -u option). You won't get any wireless functionality until the supplicant has been started with the "-u" flag.
