Unfortunately the version Dan built requires libdbus-1.so.3 which is
not available on Ubuntu, you might be able to create a symlink from
libdbus-1.so but I am not what that would do.

I am building it on Ubuntu and I can email it to you or you can
checkout it from CVS with:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous anoncvs gnome org:/cvs/gnome co NetworkManager

grab the required dependencies:
sudo apt-get build-dep network-manager
sudo apt-get install automake cvs

and build Network-Manager with:
edit configure.in to remove -Werror
and then do:
./autogen.sh
make (Do not do a make install)

Stop Network Manager with:
sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager stop

and do then the command Dan described below pointing the test tool to
you wpa_supplicant.conf that is working properly.

It does not, you described that the problem does not happen when you
run wpa_supplicant manually, this tool is going to take your config
and use it to send all the options to wpa_supplicant the same way
NetworkManager normally does in an attempt to debug why it works with
wpa_supplicant but not with Network Manager.

Sorry if this is not 100% clear, I am typing this with a 9 month old
on my lap who thinks that the keyboard is a piano!
