ctrl_interface location changed from v0.2.3 to v0.2.4. It is now a path
to a directory that will contain a socket file for the interface.

How did you configure ctrl_interface and ctrl_interface_group in
wpa_supplicant.conf? Does wpa_supplicant create the socket (e.g., what
does 'ls -l /var/run/wpa_supplicant' show)?

This is not a valid command line anymore.

That was a bug in 0.2.4. I fixed this now in CVS (both devel and 0.2
branch). In addition, the attached patch can be used to fix the 0.2.4
release (just one-line change).
