It simply forces the wpa_supplicant to issue more debug messages. But since now you reveal that it is unable to talk to dbus, you need to also add -u in addition to -dd Option -u enabled dbus when NetworkManager is used. I really have found no need for NetworkManager. I have disabled it. Furthermore, I found that when I tried to use NetworkManager, it was not even reading /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant for the arguments, so, I was not able to see the debug output of wpa_supplicant, and it did not even select the correct interface (ra0). I suggest you get rid of NetworkManager altogether. Disable it AND remove -u from /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant, and you will be just fine!
