If you use network-manager or something managing wpa_supplicant, then
they have always relied on D-Bus activation to start wpa_supplicant.
You seem to not run systemd, so the standard D-Bus activation should
work. Check that you can run wpa_supplicant normally (i.e. by running
it with the same parameters as specified in
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.service ). If
it does, there is another problem.
My current supposition is that your wpa_supplicant was built without
D-Bus support.
