Is this still a problem for you?

Looking through the bugreport and the involved source, I strongly 
suggest that this is a ndiswrapper problem, rather than a bug in 
wpasupplicant (the kernel module really needs to accept commands in 
order), but before reassigning, I'd like to reconfirm that this is 
still open.
