To debug the problem, you need to add -dd to
/etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant. I myself do not
use the Network Manager.
So in /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant, I added -dd
as you see below.
# Other arguments
#   -u   Enable the D-Bus interface (required for use with NetworkManager)
#   -f   Log to /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log
OTHER_ARGS=" -dd -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log"

Once you add the flag, then
sudo service wpa_supplicant restart

After that, do

tail -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log
to see what messages you get.
