I don't remember having seen your earlier message in my Host AP folder..

Which version of ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant are you using?

Most common reason for message 1/4 being sent out repeatedly is a
mismatch in PSK (e.g., in ASCII passphrase). Either the AP is not seeing
the reply (msg 2/4) or that frame is being rejected for some reason.
What AP are you using? Can you get any event/debug log information from
it?
