Thanks for the suggestion.

I did the following:
Start the NetworkManager daemon
"startx"
Issued the commands:
$ sudo dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1 /fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1 
org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set string:fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1 string:DebugTimestamp variant:boolean:true

[method return sender=:1.5 -> dest=:1.32 reply_serial=2]

$ sudo dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1 /fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1 
org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set string:fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1 string:DebugLevel variant:string:"msgdump"

[method return sender=:1.5 -> dest=:1.33 reply_serial=2]

And then used network-manager-applet to connect

..but no /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log was created.

Did I make a mistake in the sequence or the dbus commands?
