yes, generally it's always enabled.

Yeah, I guess you might be right. What threw me off is that often when
I'm disabling wireless network the system is frozen for about 2
seconds, so I though NM might be unloading driver or doing something
like that.

I'll try that next time, though I doubt it might help. When the
problem happens I don't see any wireless network and iwlist scan
doesn't return anything.
I think wpasupplicant is only necessary when accessing WPA networks.
