Well, wpa_supplicant itself doesn't send the authentication request.
The driver does.  Your custom wpa_supplicant driver should tell the
card's driver to trigger association at the end of the 'associate'
wpa_supplicant driver handler.  In WEXT, that usually happens when the
SSID or BSSID is set via SIOCSIWESSID or SIOCSIWBSSID.  Without seeing
your driver or your wpa_supplicant driver sources, it's impossible to
say exactly in your case.  But however the unsupported WiFi driver wants
to be told to associate is what you should be doing at the end of the
associate handler like wpa_driver_wext_associate() does.
