Well there is one more thing you need to do. That is to stop
the /etc/init.d script network. chkconfig network off
will do that. If network is running at the same time as NM I would
expect the connection dropping you experience.

Forget about trying to configuure wpa_supplicant. NM does that. My
wpa_supplicant.conf file looks like this:


ctrl_interface_group=wheel

network={
        ssid="any"
        key_mgmt=NONE
}
As you can see it is not doing much configuration.
