Thanks, Paul and Dennis!

So, if the wpa_supplicant call is hardcoded in NetworkManager, do I
have a way of running the supplicant with different attributes (to
set, for instance, -K and include the keys in debug output) besides
recompiling NetworkManager?

And, by the way, where are the logs going to? The supplicant seems to
be running with -ddd.and what I see in /var/log/messages is too
little.  And I found no other candidate in /var/log.

$ grep -r wpa /var/log/*
/var/log/messages:Oct 15 23:46:12 localhost NetworkManager: <info>
SUP: sending command 'INTERFACE_ADD
eth0#011#011wext#011/var/run/wpa_supplicant#011'
/var/log/messages:Oct 16 11:08:07 localhost NetworkManager: <info>
SUP: sending command 'INTERFACE_ADD
eth0#011#011wext#011/var/run/wpa_supplicant#011'
/var/log/rpmpkgs:wpa_supplicant-0.6.3-6.fc9.i386.rpm

Cheers!
Ricardo
