Stupid I am. Of course. I forgot this in the happyness that ndis0 came
up :-(

I've checked my old man page and the one of HEAD ... -D.... is not
explained in the man page of wpa_supplicant(8), but in its help:
# /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant --help | fgrep -- -D
wpa_supplicant: illegal option -- -
-i<ifname> -c<config file> [-C<ctrl>] [-D<driver>]
[-p<driver_param>] \
[-N -i<ifname> -c<conf> [-C<ctrl>] [-D<driver>] \
-D = driver name
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Thanks for the hint
