Did you (or your distro) make sure to enable the D-Bus configuration
interface when your wpa_supplicant was built?  You'll also need the
activation helper file
in /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant.service that should contain roughly this:

[D-BUS Service]
Name=fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant
Exec=/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -u -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log
User=root

that should be part of your distro's normal supplicant package, but I
guess it's not.
