If you will provide some more information..

Which version of ndiswrapper are you using? With which NDIS driver and
which wlan card?

And what happened after this? I saw similar issues with a scan for
specific SSID (scan_ssid=1), but broadcast SSID scan worked fine. Please
also verify whether you can see the correct AP in 'iwlist wlan0 scan'

You do not need EAP-PSK for WPA-PSK; it is an experimental EAP method
that is not likely to be deployed anywhere yet.
