No apologies necessary - all help is greatly appreciated!

Yes, wpa_supplicant is being built with the ndiswrapper
driver
(CONFIG_DRIVER_NDISWRAPPER=y) although I do not use it
because there
is a note in the debian package which says:

"Ndiswrapper NO LONGER SUPPORTS the 'ndiswrapper'
driver backend as of
version 1.16. Therefore, 'wext' must be used unless you use
an
antiquated ndiswrapper release."

You can find this text in here:
http://ftp.debian.org/debian
/pool/main/w/wpasupplicant/wpasupplicant_0.5.5-2.diff.gz

So I normally use:
wpa_supplicant -w -d -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa.conf

I just need to get a few more debug logs ready and I will
post some
more bug reports...
