In your previous email, IIRC, the output:

,----[ ps aux | grep wpa ]
| root      2273  0.0  0.1   4348   964 ?        S<s  21:16   0:00 /sbin/wpa_supplicant -W -B -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant.eth1.pid -i eth1 -D wext -t -ddd -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.eth1.log -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa-roam.conf
`----

Should look more like:
$ ps aux | grep wpa
root      2498  0.0  0.0   4352   932 ?        S<s  09:10   0:00 /sbin/wpa_supplicant -W -B -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant.eth1.pid -i eth1 -D wext -q -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.eth1.log -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/conf

The wpa_cli daemon is absent from your output, which is confusing as it is
shown to start in your above ifup -v output.

Thanks, Kel.
