Thanks Jouni,
But he patch needed wpa_supplicant with the nl80211.h (send in your mail, plz see below) in
order to get the needed nl80211 command for enabling userspace MLME.
It can't be applied successfully wpa_supplicant 0.6.7 the error is given below

I updated the patches at http://w1.fi/wireless-testing/ now and the
version there seemed to work in my tests. However, you will now also
need to patch wpa_supplicant with the nl80211.h (see patch below) in
order to get the needed nl80211 command for enabling userspace MLME.
