He actually meant the wpa_supplicant configuration file, not the
supplicant's dbus config file.  But when driven by NetworkManager,
there is no supplicant configuration file.

Sorry about that.

Instead, you can find out what config NM is pushing to the supplicant
by checking the NetworkManager logs, where NM will log lines like:

Here are the relevant entries from the syslog file:

I included the failed attempt to connect to the WPA protected network
named "southcentral" and the successful one to a non protected one named
"FreeWifi".

Thanks for the logs. I compared your network manager log with the one on my setup. Both are same. Basically network manager log doesn't show security info (WPA/WPA2, encryption mode etc). So we can't rely on that.
I checked your kernel log shared in previous email. It's incomplete. It didn't include information when connection was actually attempted. Probably you can run "dmesg -c >> dmesg.log" in loop with some delay to capture complete info. Otherwise sharing "/var/log/messages" is also an option.
I have created a driver debug patch(attached). Could you please apply it and share complete dmesg log?

Btw, do you see the problem if AP is configured in WPA2 security mode?

You could check it by disabling the NetworkManager and connect using
wpa_supplicant manually. Sometimes NetworkManager does some problem
which is solved by disabling the NetworkManager.

Thanks,
