I know you've brought this up before, though I can't find any instance 
where you've specifically included the wifi related log entries.

However, on a quick look, I don't see any noise in any logs from CentOS 
7 hosts.  All of the hosts I've checked use NetworkManager, and 
NetworkManager-wifi is installed.  Have you considered that the noise in 
your logs is there *because* you're removing NetworkManager components?  
Maybe set up a test host with a default configuration, make changes 
individually and slowly, and try to determine at what point the log 
noise starts.
