I personally usually just edit the /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant
so that it will start before network service
(chkconfig:   - 23 88 --> chkconfig:   - 9 90) and everything works. 
Also the section:

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: wpa_supplicant
# Required-Start: $local_fs messagebus
# Required-Stop: $local_fs messagebus
# Default-Start:
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: start and stop wpa_supplicant
# Description: wpa_supplicant is a tool for connecting to wireless networks
### END INIT INFO

has to be deleted because otherwise wpa_supplicant service try to start 
after messagebus (even if in /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant the D-Bus 
interface is not enabled) and it is too late for dhcp. I think the 
wireless stuff should also work in text mode without the help of X & NM.
