Heh. After checking out networkmanager trunk, and reading some snippets of 
code it seems the entire point of having the dbus communication interface is 
to avoid using the old style of NM/wpa_supplicant communication behaviour 
which required starting a private wpa_supplicant process using a global 
ctrl_interface etc etc.
