On my CentOS 6: chkconfig --list wpa_supplicant shows off at all levels, which is confirmed by examination of: /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant but ps -ef shows the process running. Furthermore, repeated cd /etc/init.d/ ./wpa_supplicant stop appears to succeed, but the process continues to run. These observations were made at levels 3 and 5.
Thanks in advance for your explanation.
Mike.

Are you using NetworkManager? It probably starts wpa_supplicant. Have you ever noticed, on a Gnome desktop, how you have to specifically uncheck enable wireless?

Yes, I am using NetworkManager, and, as I forgot to mention, KDE. But I see that NetworkManager starts at level 2.
(BTW, I also see that the scripts in /etc/init.d have a new format for specifying start and stop levels.)
