That info should have been in your first post, or the 2nd...
And you still have not answered one: what distro - that alone would
have answered or at least hinted at most of the software versions,
etc. 'read my mind'... you are the person asking for help, why do you
expect others to *chase after you* for info? Most people won't bother.

Now we are getting somewhere - and my first reply did ask you to run
wpa_supplicant in the foreground.
Even for the 0.5.x series, 0.5.10 is current... and most people are
using 0.6.x . wpa_supplicant (not the driver) is responsible for
encryption and authentication, and you had a deauthentication problem.
Hello, anybody home??!!

So, as you yourself suggested, you should update. And while you are at
it, read wpa_supplicant's doc, and work out the debug options and what
I meant by 'run it in the foreground'.
