Actually when you mention it now ... there is this wpa_supplicant which
does the WPA configuration.  I did this many years ago when I ran
Gentoo, long before NetworkManager came along.  IIRC, NetworkManager
uses wpa_supplicant under the hood even nowadays.

This might provide some better clues on the wpa_supplicant config files:
