wpa_supplicant only gained the necessary functionality that
NetworkManager looks for back in late October 2015.  It was committed
after wpa_supplicant 2.5 but it appears there hasn't been a release
since then.  But once that happens, or if you build supplicant version
from git, NM will begin to use that capability if you've enable it in
the NM configuration.
