The current Windows binary does not support wired network adapters. It
is only built with driver_ndis.c which is trying to configure wireless
OIDs that are not supported by wired Ethernet drivers.

I haven't tested this, but in theory, driver_wired.c might work on
Windows. However, this would require making a new build. If you are
willing to test something experimental and report the results, please
let me know and I should be able to make you a test binary of
wpa_supplicant with driver_wired.c built for Windows. Of course, you can
also build one yourself, if you have a build environment for Windows.
