Well firstly I am not using NM at all as I want the wireless to come up without
reference to the desktop - if I unset wpa_supplicant running at boot time then I
would get the same chkconfig --list output as you do above. Then once I am
booted up and logged in
service wpa_supplicant start
dhclient eth1

Then the wpa_supplicant daemon runs and wireless comes up just fine (the
interface is defined in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 ).

I could easily add these two commands to /etc/rc.local but I wanted to do it the
easy way and simeply do chkconfig wpa_supplicant on, in which case the output
from chkconfig --list would have "on" for both runlevel 3 and 5.

However it is with the latter set up that it won't start the deamon during boot.
